About

Hello, and welcome. I'm a computer science student at the University of Washington, where I also do research in the Programming Languages & Software Engineering lab and TA a systems course.

I work across the stack, lately on agentic LLM tooling, ML systems, and full-stack products. I'm drawn to problems where careful engineering makes something measurably better, and most of what I learn ends up as a project. A few are logged below.

Outside of computer science I follow Formula 1 and football closely.

Experience

  1. Jun 2026 – Present

    Undergraduate Researcher

    University of Washington · PLSE Lab

    Building an agentic LLM pipeline that translates C into byte-accurate, test-verified Rust, with a reproducible Google Test harness for equivalence checks. Extended an LLVM call-graph tool to catch indirect function-pointer call sites the standard pass misses.

  2. Jun 2026 – Present

    Teaching Assistant

    University of Washington · Computer Science

    Lead weekly quiz sections and discussions for a 40-student systems course.

  3. Nov 2025 – Jun 2026

    Lab Systems Intern

    University of Washington · SEAL Lab

    Led a Claude Code chatbot build that cut per-person weekly reporting from 45 to 10 minutes across a 50-person lab, and maintained two lab-wide tracking systems for a measured 37% efficiency gain.

  4. Sep 2025 – Present

    B.S. Computer Science

    University of Washington · 3.91 GPA

    Coursework: Calculus III, Discrete Mathematics, Hardware/Software Interface, Data Structures & Parallelism, Linear Algebra, Software Engineering, Systems Programming.

Selected work

Projects I've built or contributed to.

  1. Transit Reliability

    Result
    37× faster API · zero data loss
    Stack
    Python · PostgreSQL · Docker · FastAPI · Redpanda · GTFS
    Role
    Creator

    A real-time transit data pipeline tracking 350+ Seattle buses every 30 seconds, with 97% matched to schedule. Sped up the API 37× (1.1s to 0.03s) and recovered from a 3-minute processing outage with zero data loss. Nine Docker services in production behind HTTPS, with CI/CD running 71 tests and Prometheus/Grafana monitoring.

  2. Sokoban Environment

    Result
    1st in track · 2nd overall
    Stack
    Python · JavaScript · Three.js · BFS
    Role
    Contributor

    A reinforcement-learning benchmark that tests how well LLM agents perceive 3D space, with elevation and box-pushing mechanics, BFS-verified solvable maps, and a 2D/3D browser viewer that replays an agent's decisions move by move. Won its track and placed second overall at a Google-sponsored, Google-judged hackathon.

  3. Talus

    Result
    0.90 AUC-ROC
    Stack
    Python · XGBoost · scikit-learn · SHAP · Earth Engine
    Role
    Contributor

    A statewide landslide-susceptibility model for Washington at 10 m resolution. XGBoost with spatial cross-validation over 450M pixels and 8 features from 7 geospatial sources; on a blind holdout of the 2014 Oso zone it flagged 46.8% of landslide pixels as high risk against 15% of stable terrain. SHAP ranked precipitation and elevation as the top predictors.

  4. LaunchHQ

    Result
    40+ users · 20+ live waitlists
    Stack
    Next.js · Vercel · Neon · Stripe · Resend
    Role
    Creator

    A full-stack SaaS platform for launch waitlists, with an embeddable signup widget, a referral system, custom domains, and Stripe-metered billing. Grew to 40+ users and 20+ live waitlists, and ranked launchhq.space onto Google's first page through hands-on SEO.
