About Me

Who I Am &
What I Build

Hi! I'm Angel Cruz, an undergraduate Computer Science student at San José State University, pursuing a career in artificial intelligence, robotics, and large language models. I'm passionate about machine learning and how systems are structured, especially hierarchical models, and how they can be applied to real-world problems through intelligent, adaptive systems. I'm driven by how fast AI is evolving and how it's changing the way we build, think, and solve problems.

I'm currently most interested in LLMs, machine learning systems, and robotics, especially how software can interact with the physical world. I'm curious about how to make these systems more reliable, efficient, and aligned with human needs. As I keep building and learning, my goal is to create impactful technology that feels practical and grounded, while still pushing the boundaries of what AI can do.
