Senior🎓
Top SchoolLexdyel Mendez-rios is a software developer and project manager with nine years of experience building applied AI and interactive software from research prototypes to production-ready models. Based at the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez, he leads an undergraduate research team developing acoustic AI for dysarthric speech recognition using transfer learning and knowledge distillation to produce compact, explainable models. His background spans machine learning for geospatial change detection, object segmentation with YOLO/Mask R-CNN, and Unity-based educational game development, reflecting a rare mix of signal-processing, computer vision, and game-engine engineering. Active in campus leadership as CAHSI treasurer, he combines hands-on model training and optimization with mentorship and outreach to broaden STEM participation. An under-the-radar strength is his focus on making models interpret similar features across domains—turning hard-to-decipher inputs into consistent, machine-readable representations.
