YearProjectWhat it is
2025 Curator Curator is a portfolio documentation orchestrator that crawls your GitHub repos, asks targeted follow-up questions, and generates rich project writeups via the OpenAI Responses API.
2025 Binaric Audio-based data transmission protocol that turns files and messages into structured tone sequences, inspired by dial‑up but built for modern devices.
2025 Exotic Produce Packing Optimization MATLAB-based modeling and simulation of optimal packing for three categories of exotic produce under spatial and combinatorial constraints.
2025 Limen A SwiftUI iOS client for orchestrating AI assistant "sessions" that send user queries to a configurable backend and render dynamic responses.
2025 C Boids High-performance Boids flocking simulation in C++ and SFML, rendering 1,000 agents navigating a 2D space with wrap-around boundaries.
2025 Plonk Pigeonholing A comparative study of classical TF-IDF and transformer-based approaches for wine variety classification, exploring the tradeoffs between interpretability and performance in domain-specific text analysis.
2024 Bragi An immersive Spanish learning platform using Quest 3 XR to overlay vocabulary flashcards on real-world objects, with Google Cloud TTS/STT for pronunciation training and YOLOv5 object detection for contextual language learning.
2024 Radar Calibration Automation An internal calibration automation project focused on phased-array radar systems.

Experience

  1. 2026.03–2026.08Somerville, MA

    Formlabs

    Electrical Engineering Intern, SLS & Materials R&D

    • Powder-bed defect detection: GPU computer vision and a ResNet-18 classifier, taken from binary to a nine-class taxonomy with severity ranking.
    • Heater fault detection built from first principles; false positives from 9% to 0% by addressing PWM phase jitter.
    • Automated filter-swap characterization, producing a continuous pressure-flow surface and a virtual flow sensor.
    • Dielectric cure monitoring (PyQt6, VISA, SSH): ~40 Hz transients across 300+ runs, correlated with FTIR.
    • Browser-based lifetime test runner with acoustic detection, used for five qualification campaigns.
  2. 2024–2025Cambridge, MA
