Selected Projects

My projects translate research into working systems. They span AI literacy platforms for academic libraries, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines for research and legal workflows, and interactive tools for mapping AI governance across law schools. These tools are designed for researchers, librarians, legal educators, and higher education professionals navigating the rapid integration of AI into their fields.
