Projects

CNN built from scratch in C++/CUDA with hand-written backprop, im2col, and GEMM kernels. 99%+ on MNIST at ~10% the throughput of an equivalent PyTorch/cuDNN model on T4 GPUs.

124M-parameter decoder-only transformer with causal self-attention and learned positional encodings. Optimized for multi-GPU CUDA with minimized CPU-GPU sync — 11× speedup over the pre-optimized baseline.

Convolutional neural net implemented from scratch in NumPy, including manual conv and pool gradients.

CNN that predicts age from brain MRI scans, trained on the IXI-T1 dataset.

Collaborative-filtering book recommendation system.

Reinforcement learning agent for Settlers of Catan trained with Proximal Policy Optimization.

LLM + RL self-play for Codenames using SFT and GRPO on filtered rollouts.

Negamax + alpha-beta chess engine with quiescence search and a Zobrist-keyed transposition table. Tkinter UI.

Procedural game world generation engine built on Bevy ECS — GameSpec → validation → spawn rules → chunk output.

Real-time driver drowsiness detection using eye- and mouth-aspect ratios from a webcam feed.

RAG-based consulting assistant with a Weaviate vector store.

Automated job application tool with LLM-powered resume tailoring.

AI project planner on Cloudflare — Durable Objects for state, Workers AI for the LLM, React + WebSocket frontend.

Flask file hosting service with public/private visibility, CSRF, and session auth.
