Invent For The Planet 2026 Winner

Invent For The Planet 2026 Winner

Led the research, planning, and technical implementation of HydroOptix, an AI-driven water intelligence platform developed during the Invent for the Planet 2026 Challenge at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi.

HydroOptix helps data centers monitor, understand, and optimize water consumption across AI workloads and cooling infrastructure. It uses predictive analytics to improve resource planning and includes an Agentic AI Control System that acts as an intelligent decision-support layer, identifying when and where water resources may be needed based on workload demand, cooling conditions, and operational context.

The project won 1st place at the United States Regional Competition, received prize recognition, and was selected as one of the Top 10 Global Finalists for the international finals in Ireland among 100+ teams from 17+ countries. HydroOptix was recognized for its sustainability impact, research depth, and strong technical execution during the rapid innovation challenge.

Islander AI Hackathon 2025 Runner Up

Islander AI Hackathon 2025 Runner Up

Led a team of 3 to build bAI Watch, an AI powered disaster preparedness platform at the IslanderHack hackathon at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi. I led the AI centric system design, integrating multiple AI services to deliver personalized evacuation plans, supply lists, and an SOS voice agent that transcribes emergencies, classifies intent, and triggers automated calls with live location data.

Out of 40 participants and 10 projects, the platform earned 2nd place for technical depth and strong end to end execution under a 24 hour build timeline.
