Projects
A collection of my technical projects spanning game development, machine learning, optics, and web development.
From Hours to Seconds: RUDO
Real-time dwell time optimization for mirror fabrication. 1000x speedup over traditional methods, enabling on-the-fly adjustments during polishing to achieve unprecedented precision in optical manufacturing.
Aligning Telescopes with Randomness: SPGD
An interactive explainer of Stochastic Parallel Gradient Descent. An algorithm we used to align a TMA telescope by randomly nudging mirrors until the image sharpens.
Master Trader
A full-stack financial simulation platform developed during HackAZ 2025 as a satirical joke concept featuring AI-powered stock recommendations based on congressional trading patterns.
Time to C
A GameJam project my friends and I squeezed out in two days, after repeatedly thinking, "Yeah, we're definitely not finishing this."
Project Nautilus
Designed the Kinematically-Engaged Yoke System (KEYS), a precision alignment mechanism for MODE lens segments on a new concept array space telescope.
EASLA Website
An online student-run club for Japanese language exchange I cofounded, featuring global timezone support and integrated Google Calendar.
Naturalization of Text
A USC research project that transforms clean written text into naturally-sounding speech by inserting disfluencies. Things like fillers, pauses, and hesitations using a bigram language model trained on the Santa Barbara Corpus.
