Computer Science & Neurobiology
Building software at the intersection of technology and neuroscience.
I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) undergrad at Georgetown finishing a double major in Computer Science and Neurobiology in May 2026. The combination sounds unusual until it doesn't — the brain is just another system worth understanding, and software turns out to be a pretty good tool for that.
At the DARN Lab (DeMarco Advanced Research in Neurorehabilitation), I build diagnostic web tasks for aphasia research and VR environments for EEG experiments. It's the kind of work where milliseconds matter — literally — and where I've had to figure out how to make a browser behave like lab equipment. Not always graceful, but it works.
I also TA for Georgetown's CS department, helping students through C++, Java, Python, and R. Something about watching a concept finally click for someone who's been stuck on it for a week doesn't get old. I've worked with a lot of students at this point and I still find it genuinely fun.
Outside of that, I lead a few student organizations, taught tax prep to low-income families, and have been slowly going down a rabbit hole on brain-computer interfaces and where neurotechnology is actually headed. I don't always know where to look — but that's kind of the point.

I build web-based diagnostic tasks for aphasia research and VR environments for EEG experiments — the kind of work where milliseconds actually matter. It started as one project and turned into leading a small team of programmers across a few different experiment frameworks. Turns out brain research and software have a lot to say to each other.
Georgetown University CS Department
I help 75+ students a semester work through C++, Java, Python, and R. A lot of it is feedback, a lot of it is office hours, and occasionally it's just reminding someone that the bug is a semicolon. I also work with faculty to redesign labs and projects each semester — how something is taught matters just as much as what is taught.
Georgetown Summer Programs
Taught Python and cybersecurity basics to high schoolers. Making technical concepts click for someone who's never written a line of code is its own kind of challenge — one I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did.

Managed financial datasets and built Excel workflows for government accounting compliance. Not glamorous, but I learned early that clean data is everything — a lesson that's followed me into every role since.
