Projects

Flight control software for a CubeSat satellite selected for NASA's CSLI (CubeSat Launch Initiative) program, with launch scheduled for April 2026. Embedded Python running on a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller that manages all satellite operations including attitude control, communication, power management, and mission phases through a finite state machine architecture.

Full-stack web application that helps researchers navigate academic publications by visualizing paper citation relationships in an interactive force-directed graph. The platform addresses information overload in academic research by aggregating papers from three major academic APIs (Arxiv, OpenAlex, CORE) in parallel, visualizing citation networks using D3.js physics simulation, and generating AI-powered summaries using Google Gemini 2.0 Flash.

Built a simulation framework analyzing 150,000+ patient-donor interactions to optimize kidney allocation policies. Designed algorithms balancing efficiency, urgency, and fairness objectives, with automated parameter sweeps and data visualizations.

Research project analyzing how cross-modal attention mechanisms affect multimodal image compression. Built evaluation framework to systematically test attention ablations and visualization tools to inspect model behavior. Conducted experiments on 600+ images across 25 conditions, finding that architectural regularization effects drive performance improvements more than caption content at inference.

Real-time meeting assistant that transcribes conversations and automatically tracks agenda completion using AI. Processes live speech to update meeting agendas dynamically, ensuring you never miss important discussion points.

Second place at HackMIT 2023. A React-based food tracking application that leverages OCR technology and custom text parsing algorithms to automatically inventory groceries from receipt scans. The platform tracks expiration dates, sends alerts, enables community food sharing, and provides recipe suggestions.

Cross-platform mobile and web application revolutionizing education funding through AI-powered scholarship matching. The platform connects students with funders by aligning aspirations with funding objectives, featuring activity tracking, achievement logging, and transparent impact metrics. Built for iOS, Android, and web.

Best Overall at Google Accessibility Hackathon. Co-designed an accessible social media app (similar to TikTok) with Code Your Dreams and Deaf Kids Code. The platform incorporates lights, ASL integration, and haptic vibrations to create a complete sensory experience for Deaf and hard-of-hearing users.

Built and managed a peer-to-peer website helping high school students navigate school life, including club information, course offerings, and a guide for navigating Chicago's Loop. A resource built by students for students.
