Hi, I’m Ava

I’m a computer engineering student at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. I build AI applications, FPGA hardware systems, and full-stack tools.

Engineering across software and hardware.

I enjoy turning complicated technical problems into useful, understandable systems. My work has ranged from multi-agent AI pipelines and Databricks applications to a VHDL processor running an autonomous robot.

I’m pursuing a B.S. in Computer Engineering at MSOE, with an intended master’s focus in machine learning. As an Applied AI Intern at Direct Supply, I build tools that help non-technical users access and understand complex data, and my MSOE AI Club teams have earned first place in two Innovation Labs. Outside class and work, I’m active in an AI research group, Alpha Omega Epsilon, and choir.
