Hey there! 👋🏾
I work in the space between engineering, research, and design, building things that sense and respond to people. The discipline changes, the curiosity doesn't.
A selection of my most impactful work
Spatial interfaces tell you what happened by showing you, which fails the moment you look away. Vision Pro sends semantic interaction events, an iPhone relays them, and the Apple Watch decides how each one should feel.
CMU MHCI capstone with Amazon Music: Adaptive UI that recognizes listening loyalty across three fan tiers, without asking fans to broadcast.
Drag in any dataset (CSV, JSON, GeoJSON, or audio) and an AI agent maps it to the right 3D view. Orbit, explore, and get anomaly pins dropped directly into the scene.
1st Place UTSA Tech Symposium • Affordable haptic VR glove with electromagnetic braking. 18% latency reduction, 24% comfort improvement.
Distress prediction from HealthKit biometrics using logistic regression. 82% test accuracy with CoreML on-device inference.
Audio-reactive 3D environments with gesture input. Quest 2 app built with Unity and Meta XR SDK.
CMU research: Multimodal XR prototypes studying how visual, auditory, and ambient cues influence pain perception.
My journey in tech and research
Jan 2026 – Jul 2026
Led Adaptive UI research and product vision for Amazon Music: recognizing long-term fan loyalty across three listening tiers without requiring public performance.
Spring 2026 – Present
Xbox x CMU Measuring Social: Research collaboration with Xbox exploring AI-driven approaches to measure and understand social interactions in gaming environments.
Sep 2025 – Present
Building multimodal XR prototypes to study pain perception. Unity/C# development with structured logging for future ML-driven personalization.
Summer 2025
Built end-to-end pipeline for gameplay score extraction from streaming videos. Parallel cloud ingestion (Ray), FFmpeg clipping, OpenCV processing, Databricks workflows (PySpark, MLflow). 60%+ faster processing.
2024
Built AI-powered technical interview platform with React/TypeScript canvas and FastAPI backend. Integrated LLMs with circuit topology for adaptive technical interviewer.
Aug 2023 – Dec 2024
Research on AI-empowered VR content analysis addressing harassment and safety issues. Built Unity/C# prototypes and explored supervised learning/LLM methods for behavior classification.
Jun – Aug 2024
8-week intensive covering EDA, feature engineering, model training/evaluation, deployment. Completed 35 projects including Health ML (Assuage), image classification, and CoreML deployment.
Summer 2022
Co-built Talky Talky, an audio-responsive web app supporting non-verbal children. Integrated Google Cloud Text-to-Speech APIs.
