Projects

Pax Automata

Built the first autonomous agent playing Pax Historia, a fully AI grand strategy game, creating an "AI-on-AI" system that ingests full game state via a reverse engineered API, plans from a strategic doctrine, and acts over multi-turn campaigns. Validated by beating the game without human input; launch content reached 2.2K+ views.

FlareInsure

Built a smart contract trading platform for rainfall insurance with a decentralized, blockchain marketplace for real-world data verification. Won two prizes at ETH Oxford and secured the first dozen waitlist sign-ups within the first week.

GitInsight

Built an AI onboarding tool that lets developers ask natural-language and voice questions about any public GitHub repository. Containerized with Docker and integrated repo parsing, embeddings indexing, and convo retrieval to deliver <2s responses.

MCM Outstanding Winner

Built a spatial-temporal differential equations model to simulate plant biome evolution under drought cycles. Our paper won the MAA award and was named Outstanding Winner (top 6 of 10,000+ teams) at the International MCM.

Biking Infrastructure Optimization

Built an optimization model to identify NYC zip codes which would benefit the most from bike lane investment based on maximal usage and community benefits.

Polyhymnia.ai

Built the backend of Polyhymnia to generate unlimited original sheet music using AI and Markov Chains, helping early-intermediate players practice sight-reading. Uses the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm to assess student recordings and adapt future exercises.

Computer Vision Object Identifier

Compared traditional neural network architecture with CNNs and implemented transfer learning using VGG16, developing an image recognition algorithm using TensorFlow to identify cars and people in video from car windshields.

Income Tax Simulator

An educational simulation on income taxes allowing users to compare tax policies across countries, estimate income taxes given a salary, and explore tax policy formation through situational studies.
