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”.

Students will create a data-driven CRM engagement plan that addresses how to manage creators differently from enterprise contacts, and how to transition engaged leads into partner-level relationships. The focus will be on enabling FreeFuse to scale engagement without losing personalization.

Pathway Intelligence: Forecasting Interactive Journey Effectiveness on FreeFuse

FreeFuse is an AI-powered platform for building interactive, multi-path digital experiences. As the company expands into personalized content journeys and Agentic AI assistance, there is growing interest in understanding which types of interactive pathways lead to higher engagement and long-term user retention. This project will focus on analyzing and forecasting content journey effectiveness using structural data and behavioral metrics from FreeFuse pathways. In addition to traditional engagement data (e.g., completion rates, drop-offs), students will explore time-to-decision—how long a user takes between choice points—as a signal of content clarity, complexity, and user confidence. Learners will apply data science, predictive modeling, and visualization techniques to identify high-performing pathways, segment engagement styles, and forecast content success based on journey composition and user behavior.
