#48 of 2,000,000+ in the Christmas Smurfberry Festival via mathematically optimized village layouts.
Highest distinction (<5% of CA violinists). 8x State Honors + 3x State Convention Invitee.
Built a persistent state and context layer for AI agents with primitive.dev that incrementally resolves email threads into cited terms, obligations, conflicts, and next actions across agent restarts and handoffs. **1st place + $3,000 @ yc make something agents want.
Current strongest Canadian Fish bot; exact deal-posterior inference, a linear ask/declaration policy, and guarded determinized search; fitted 55 policy weights by derivative-free optimization against a 31-agent panel, evaluated on 4.3M sealed-holdout games with deal-clustered bootstrap CIs.
1v1 barking game which captures 10-second audio window, applies FFT-based spectral analysis, and extracts RMS energy, zero-crossing rate, spectral centroid, pitch contour; aggregated and scored via 400-pt. logistic scale. **1st Place @ SpaceXAI Build Night with this :sob:
With EE's @ Anduril, built Python-based research system for technical pattern detection, ML-driven setup ranking, and vectorized backtesting; trained XGBoost + LightGBM models on OHLCV data for high-probability trades, optimized detection thresholds with BBO + Optuna, tracked metrics with pytest.
Always a work in progress... Built with a custom native CMS/editor using React, TypeScript, Next.js/Vinext, Cloudflare Workers, D1, and R2; implemented dynamic content rendering and lossless chunked media uploads.
Built an iOS-first alarm app in SwiftUI with a modular Swift6 + AlarmKit architecture. Real-time push-up detection using AVFoundation and Apple Vision pose estimation, confidence-filtered shoulder–elbow–wrist geometry, bilateral joint-angle interpolation. A jab at teenage circadian rhythm!
Developed C++ control system on Romi32U4 using encoder feedback and PID-based navigation corrections; implemented calibrated motion primitives + 3D-printed water bottle pusher in SolidWorks. One of the top performing bots nationwide, and the most successful event in my school's history!
This prototype was all done in 20 hours. Generative-AI powered AAC platform supporting expressive voice synthesis via ElevenLabs, speech prediction + multi-modal context via Gemini, and real-time transcription via Deepgram. **DQ'ed from CAC 2025 for video length (we didn't read the rules).
