ANTONIO IGLIOPORTRAIT FORTHCOMING
04 / STILL BECOMING
Always asking
“what if?”
I’m a junior chemical engineering student at the University of Arkansas, with a Business minor and a habit of chasing how theory behaves in a real plant.
Outside class, I build AI tools for fun — from a guide through my own notes to systems that explore how rules and judgment fit together. Scouting gave me the foundation: integrity, safety, and the responsibility to help a team through the hard part.
