Hi, I'm Shawn

Merging Data, Science, and Creative Storytelling.

I use generative AI to turn data into stories that matter, whether it's through scientific research or creative projects. It's all about finding new ways to see and share the world.

Curious about how I blend data, AI, and creativity? Let’s connect and explore new possibilities together.

My Focuses

AI Projects

At ZeroedIn Technologies, I specialize in generative AI, focusing on rolling out innovative solutions that enhance data-driven insights and storytelling. My work involves leveraging cutting-edge AI techniques to automate complex processes and create intuitive tools that make data more accessible and actionable. While I’m currently developing new projects, stay tuned for updates on how these solutions will transform how we interact with and understand data.

Research

As a PhD Candidate at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) under the mentorship of Dr. Don Engel, my research delves into leveraging generative AI to create explainable solutions, particularly in survey creation and psychometrics. I focus on how AI can enhance the interpretability of complex models, making them more accessible and effective in real-world applications. My work aims to bridge the gap between AI innovation and its practical, user-centered implementation.

Prior Research

Before this, I worked extensively on dimension reduction and abstraction, particularly in reinforcement learning and planning. My published research focused on simplifying complex domains for simulated agents, which provided a strong foundation for my current studies in AI explainability.

Creative Storytelling

Facts and data are only as powerful as the story you can tell with them. As a Dungeon Master and a co-runner of a Play-By-Post server on Discord, I’ve honed my ability to craft narratives that captivate and inform. Whether in gaming or data science, I believe in the power of a compelling story to bring ideas to life and make them resonate with others.
