West Lafayette, Indiana Purdue University, Class of 2028

Work

  • Software Engineering Intern, Bamboo Cloud

    Jul–Aug 2026     Built a cluster-monitoring dashboard for training-task queues and per-node CPU load, and added an unsupervised anomaly detector (Connectivity-Based Outlier Factor via PyOD) to the model pipeline.

  • Undergraduate Researcher, IDEAs Lab

    Mar 2026–now     Researching multi-human, multi-object interaction generation conditioned on scene, trajectory and text, with a VQ-VAE and Transformer motion-generation pipeline in PyTorch.

Projects

  • ClubRecruiter

    Sep 2026–now     A recruiting and applicant-tracking app for student clubs, used by 6 clubs with 2,000+ applicants tracked. Halved serverless calls per request. Next.js, Postgres, Vercel.

  • PyroTech

    Sep 2026–now     A browser-based wildfire response simulator for real cities, where seven AI agents plan fire spread, evacuations and resource deployment on a live map, with replayable snapshots.

  • ReDub

    Feb–Mar 2026     Video dubbing with voice cloning and lip sync, built in 36 hours at a UIUC hackathon. A five-stage Whisper, LLaMA, XTTS and MuseTalk pipeline on Modal cut cost from $0.73 to $0.23 per minute.

  • Ember

    Feb 2026     A Flask app for sharing supplies during disaster relief, with semantic search, voice input, and offline support as a Progressive Web App.

Involvement

  • Full-Stack Developer, Purdue ACM SIGAPP

    Feb 2026–now     Building a grant application and review platform with Purdue Graduate Student Government; audited and documented the FastAPI backend.

  • Mentor, ML@Purdue Accelerator Program

    Sep 2026–now     Leading a team of developers building a VQ-VAE and Transformer architecture for human motion generation.

Hobbies

  • Running

     I run the annual Purdue Half Marathon and Princeton Turkey Trot back at home

  • Basketball

     I play IM at Purdue and I love watching NBA
