About Me
Hey, I’m Jimi! I graduated from RPI with a B.S. in Computer Science (GPA: 3.62) and I’m currently working as a Machine Learning Engineer at MiRABO Biotechnology in Shanghai, where I build predictive models for antibody drug development using tools like XGBoost, LightGBM, and ESM-2 embeddings.
Previously, I interned at EMAST Corp. where I built Python and C++ tools for mass spectrometry data processing, and I contributed to open-source cloud security projects at the Rensselaer Center for Open Source. I’ve also taught CS courses at Queens College, designing lab assignments and automating grading for 150+ students.
I’m passionate about full-stack development, machine learning, and building tools that solve real problems. My project work spans from webcam-driven physical therapy games with TensorFlow.js to interactive NYC mapping applications. When I’m not coding, you’ll find me hanging out with my cat Ponyo, playing basketball, or working on personal projects. Thanks for stopping by!
