Things I've built.

Voice-first AI companion app with cycle-phase awareness and persistent semantic memory. Architected the full real-time pipeline: Groq Whisper STT → LLaMA 3.3 70B → ElevenLabs Flash v2.5 TTS → LiveKit WebRTC, with phase-conditioned memory retrieval using pgvector composite scoring. Built as a South Park Commons affiliate, SF.

  • React Native
  • Supabase
  • pgvector
  • Groq
  • ElevenLabs
  • LiveKit
  • Expo

Trust layer for AI coding agents — verifies completion claims against real process exit codes instead of self-reports. Blocks writes to protected paths before they hit disk and records every event in a SHA-256 hash-chained ledger, surfaced as a local trust-score dashboard and Claude Code plugin.

  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • MCP
  • Claude Code
  • pnpm
  • Vitest

8-agent ReAct system collapsing 30-minute outreach into 60 seconds. Resume gap analyzer, warm-path finder, and 0–100 response-rate scorer.

  • React
  • FastAPI
  • Groq
  • Apollo.io
  • Gmail API

Autonomous AI software factory — ideation through deployment on ECS Fargate. Six self-healing maintenance agents replace PagerDuty with semver-aware auto-merge.

  • Next.js
  • AWS ECS
  • Nemotron 120B
  • PostgreSQL

Full-stack agent reviewing GitHub PRs in under 60s with line-level inline comments. Resilient inference layer with model failover and self-healing JSON parser.

  • Next.js
  • FastAPI
  • GitHub API
  • NVIDIA NIM

Multi-agent stock analysis tool. Enter a ticker and 8 specialized agents — price, news, sentiment, technicals, fundamentals, bull case, bear case — stream live over SSE before a Portfolio Manager agent delivers a BUY/HOLD/SELL verdict with confidence score.

  • Python
  • Flask
  • React
  • Claude
  • Finnhub
  • SSE
  • SQLite

ML platform that predicts football player fair market value and surfaces transfer mispricings. Trained a stacked ensemble (XGBoost + LightGBM + RF) on 2.7M+ rows of 30-year transfer data — R²=0.37, MAE €3.1M; similarity search across 17,596 player profiles runs in under 100ms.

  • XGBoost
  • LightGBM
  • FAISS
  • SHAP
  • FastAPI
  • TanStack Start
  • Python

Hand Gesture Music Control

2024

CV-driven playback control with 95% gesture accuracy and sub-200ms response. Open/closed and thumb gestures drive play/pause and track switching — 1.2s → 850ms.

  • Python
  • OpenCV
  • Mediapipe
  • Osascript

Real-Time Facial Detection

2024

Haar Cascade face recognition reaching 95% accuracy and 50ms latency on images and live video. Preprocessing tuned for 30% lower latency under variable lighting.

  • Python
  • OpenCV
  • Haar Cascade
  • Computer Vision

Experience

Where I've worked.

UW Medicine

AI Research Scientist · Jul 2026 — Present

University of Washington, Department of Radiology

  • Building AI systems that draft chest X-ray reports with vision-language models in a human-in-the-loop clinical workflow.
  • Evaluating and fine-tuning open-source multimodal LLMs (MedGemma, CheXagent) with LoRA/QLoRA, and architecting a multi-stage inference pipeline for structured findings detection and report generation to reduce hallucination.
  • Designing the end-to-end AI system — problem scoping, model selection, and data curation pipelines — optimizing for dual-GPU compute constraints, generalization across data distributions, and evaluation rigor.
