Projects
Things I've built
Built an end-to-end NLP pipeline that converts unstructured text into structured database records, including dataset curation, model training, and deployment. Designed to balance accuracy, latency, and system constraints in a production-style environment.
Created a technically complex generative artwork accepted into the Hack Club public Blot gallery - a collaboration with MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms. Recognized with an award for excellence in programming and design by Hack Club and MIT.
Independently built and published a range of projects including Javascript webtools, Unity/C# games, and Python scripts. Practiced programming, computation, game development, UI/UX design, and front-end web development.
Experience
Where I've contributed
- Developed computer vision, autonomous path planning, and motor integration systems in C++ and Python.
- Led cross-functional collaboration between mechanical and electrical teams to integrate software, controls, and hardware systems to deliver a competition-ready robot.
- Earned 2nd place out of 36 teams at the FIRST Robotics Reading Competition (2024).
- Co-founded and taught an introductory programming and circuitry course using Raspberry Pi.
- Designed hands-on lessons making hardware and software fundamentals accessible to younger students.
- Served as peer tutor supporting members with debugging, problem-solving, and code quality.
- Participated in hackathons (2022-2023) and co-organized the annual hackathon in 2024.
