View on GitHub

A gamified productivity platform combining MMORPG elements with Pomodoro timers. Features group study sessions via WebRTC, generative AI companions for real-time support, and an immersive game-like experience to boost productivity.

Doctor Doctor - AI Medical Diagnostic Agent

Technologies: React.js, jsPDF API, PyTorch, Librosa, Flask
View on GitHub

Hack Harvard hackathon project. Programmed a 93% accurate ResNet50 CNN with Torchvision for wound classification and cough intensity analysis. Co-developed an AI diagnostic agent using Flask + React as a fullstack app to generate summarized patient reports.

NEAT War - Neuro-Evolutionary Game AI

Technologies: Python, NEAT-Python, Pygame, Flask
Implemented a Neuro-Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) model to evolve both topology and weights, achieving sub-second strategic decisions and surpassing hand-crafted heuristics. The AI learns to play strategy games through evolutionary algorithms without any hand-coded behavior.

Quack Academy

Technologies: JavaScript, React
View on GitHub

Hack the Hill hackathon submission. An educational platform with a playful duck-themed interface designed to make learning more engaging and interactive.

3D Flocking Simulation

Technologies: Three.js, WebGL, NEAT, JavaScript
An interactive 3D simulation using NEAT (NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies) to evolve realistic bird flocking behavior. Features genetic algorithms, neural networks, and beautiful voxel-based graphics - the very simulation running in the background of this portfolio!

N8N Automated Baby Trend

Technologies: n8n, Automation Workflows
View on GitHub

First n8n automation project practicing workflow automation for the viral social media baby trend. Demonstrates proficiency in creating complex automation pipelines and integrating multiple services.
