Bio

PhD in material science & engineering. I 3D-printed a metal to reduce the effects of osteoporosis in seniors with metal implants. As a materials sales representative, I received a request for a novel lubricant by an American manufacturing company that only provided requirements. After researching solutions, I negotiated a $1M deal to make the lubricant with a Chinese producer. I won the 2018 entrepreneurship award from the Materials Science & Engineering dept at Texas A&M and won the ASME South Scholarship award. At the 2018 ASEE conference, I presented a paper on “Interdisciplinary Research Experiences for Undergraduates”.

Agentic AI for Smart User Assistance and Automated Onboarding

FreeFuse seeks to develop a lightweight but intelligent onboarding assistant that helps new users navigate and adopt the platform effectively. The AI-powered assistant will greet new users, guide them through setup, and answer commonly asked questions in natural language. The core functionality will include: Conversational onboarding that adjusts based on user behavior (e.g., creator vs. viewer). FAQ automation, enabling the assistant to address typical support questions. Contextual nudges, such as suggesting what to do next or how to get the most out of a feature. The system will be designed using pre-trained NLP tools and rule-based logic to avoid the complexity of building custom AI models. The emphasis will be on flow design, interaction quality, and integration simulation—not deploying advanced machine learning or computer vision.
