Applied AI and computer vision researcher with ten years of leadership in visual storytelling and digital media.
About Me
My work spans applied AI research and a decade of visual storytelling. I'm developing the Card Valuation Matrix research framework while completing my MS in Artificial Intelligence at Grand Valley State University.
My active research project is the Card Valuation Matrix, a framework for evaluating trading card game cards across multiple dimensions, demonstrated on Disney Lorcana TCG. It builds on a graduate research project I led at GVSU (CIS 635), and is being prepared for submission to a peer-reviewed academic venue.
Alongside the AI work, I've spent the last decade leading visual storytelling and digital media projects — including four years directing digital content for the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" in Washington, D.C., and earlier work as Digital Media Coordinator at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
