i am a computer science student at santa clara university (b.s. '27)
focusing on machine learning systems, autonomous agents, and high-performance computing.
currently, i am a campus strategist at
perplexity,
driving referral campaigns and AI-search workflows. recently, my team won 2nd place at the
snowflake hackathon for toolforge and an honorable mention at the
openai x modal hackathon for rustforge.
i am passionate about building agentic frameworks, fine-tuning LLMs, self-evolving systems,
and optimizing GPU inference pipelines.

toolforge: self-extending agents
2nd place @ snowflake
langchain / crewai : composio : snowflake : openai embeddings
built a self-extending agent system that generates, validates, and persists reusable tools.
features a 5-agent CrewAI pipeline, snowflake vector registry with 1536-D embeddings, and
composio remote workbench sandboxing with AST import filtering.
rustforge: self-evolving rust
honorable mention @ openai x modal
python : rust : langchain : modal : pyo3 : hypothesis
engineered an autoresearch system spawning 50 parallel LLM agents per round to rewrite slow
python functions into rust via PyO3 across modal serverless containers. achieved a
446–548x speedup on a 1M-element baseline with property fuzzing verification.

cineflow: intelligent video transitions
1st place @ adobe
react : tensorflow : opencv : aws lambda + efs
fine-tuned a vision transformer on 10k clips via tensorflow (23% higher F1 than C3D) to detect
optimal cut points. deployed as a GPU-backed microservice on AWS Lambda delivering sub-250ms
inference on 1080p footage.
