01 / ABOUT

A curious mind.
A practical approach.

Lucas Erikson Connecticut, USA

I’m studying Artificial Intelligence in Strategies & Innovation at the University of Connecticut, with an expected graduation in 2027.

My work spans AI receptionists, business automations, educational chatbots, and agentic workflows for legal research. As an AI Researcher for UConn, I built a vector database for an educational RAG system. I’m interested in making these systems useful, grounded in reliable information, and approachable for the people using them.

As Vice President of the AI Club, I help members understand and apply AI through demonstrations and hands-on projects. Beyond technology, my interests include music and songwriting, audio engineering, economics, history, and travel.

02 / PROJECT TIMELINE

Ideas put to work.

A growing record of the systems
and experiences I’ve worked on.

My work includes AI reception and appliance research at Dean Cabinetry; AI research for UConn on The Bushnell Theater Project, including a vector database for RAG; and agentic legal research involving Regulation E at Salazar & Erikson LLP. Academic projects include an NVIDIA Document RAG workflow using question-based pipeline routing and parent–child chunking, an API-based economic simulation that proposes trades using simulated raw-resource values, and an API stack for playlist creation.

More to come.Always learning. Always building.
