About Me
Hi! I'm a computer science and math lover, and love automation and learning about how things work :)
I like building websites with React, and writing fun programs in Python—feel free to check out some my projects below!
Or glance through some of the books I've read beginning in high school.
I'm currently a software engineer at Databricks in SF working on the Database Infrastructure team, and graduated from Harvey Mudd College in 2025.

Projects
Citadel Data Open
Winner of 2022 Citadel Data Open Championship ($100,000 prize): regression on college data to identify important features predicting pay and loan amounts.

8-Ball Pool Agent
Computer Vision agent for Miniclip 8-Ball Pool: uses OpenCV and PyTorch to detect the table and balls, and calculate the best shot. PyAutoGUI automation actually plays the game on an Android phone projected to a computer screen.

Isola Game
An easy to learn 2 player turned based game, Isola involves players moving and destroying blocks in an attempt to isolate the opposing player. After learning about the minimax algorithm in Stanford CS221 (Intro to AI), I decided to implement it in a more difficult setting, since Isola requires 2 moves per turn rather than per alternating moves.

Arduino Obstacle Avoider
My first dabble into the world of robotics, this Arduino car uses an ultrasonic sensor to avoid bumping into obstacles. Later, I used ROS models for simulation in Gazebo to optimize path following.

CartPole RL
After learning about Reinforcement Learning in Stanford CS221 (blackjack HW), I applied vanilla Q-learning with epsilon-greedy to OpenAI Gym's CartPole problem. I was able to meet the criterion for solving the problem without any advanced methods such as Deep Q Networks or Policy Gradient.

Sunrise Alarm
We always feel more refreshed waking up to the sunrise on weekends without a blaring alarm clock. This Android tasker script uses an adjustable light to simulate the sunrise, as well as the sunset before sleep. REM sleep cycles are considered for alarm times.

Ambient Light Color Adjuster
After purchasing a color changing lightbulb to use a sunrise simulator alarm clock, I decided to have some fun with adjusting ambient light to match a game's dominant color.
