perpetual learning
Remaining deliberately unfinished before competence becomes a room with no other door.
- 02
kinetic agency
Ruining the perfection of the unattempted by putting work into contact with reality.
- 03
discernment
Selection as a creative act: what to keep, automate, complicate, and leave outside.
- 04
predictions
Three notes on vanishing interfaces, affordable failure, and freedom in an over-helpful world.
Experiences
Places, teams, and problems that shaped how I build.
Apr 2025 - Present
Research
Undergraduate Researcher at UT Dallas, CAIR Lab
Built MonopolyBench end to end: a deterministic multi-agent LLM research benchmark evaluating tool-calling agents across long-horizon planning, negotiation, deception, memory, bias, and economic decision-making through validated actions and replayable state; research paper forthcoming.
Jan 2026 - Jul 2026
Peer Advisor at UT Dallas
Run frontline residential operations at UT Dallas, handling resident support, incident escalation, community programming, and campus-resource coordination alongside Residential Life.
Feb 2026 - Jun 2026
Research
Machine Learning Engineer Intern at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Tsai Lab
Built an end-to-end behavioral-neuroscience vision pipeline, fine-tuning DeepLabCut/SuperAnimal and hardening pose extraction, recovery, behavioral scoring, and researcher-facing analysis to improve tracking stability 56.9%.
Jan 2026 - May 2026
Industry
Software Engineer Intern at Glydr.gg
Led engineering for Glydr.gg through Consult Your Community, building a Railway-deployed microservice platform for 1,500+ users with React, Fastify, PostgreSQL, Steam authentication, secure versioned config delivery, distributed Control Panel imports, and CI/CD.
Apr 2025 - Nov 2025
Undergraduate Research Assistant
Built four paper-faithful exact solvers, plan reconstruction, a 67,000-instance solver-labeled dataset pipeline, and distribution-shift benchmarks for supervised, GNN, and reinforcement-learning research on optimal drone coverage planning.
May 2024 - Aug 2024
Industry
Software Engineering Intern at Abilitie
Engineered across the model-to-product stack for Abilitie AI Cases, an enterprise LLM role-play platform: fine-tuned Llama 3.1 on proprietary conversations and shipped schema-constrained inference, AWS/Azure provider plumbing, DynamoDB observability, prompt-injection defenses, performance optimization, and customer-facing React flows.
Aug 2021 - May 2022
Dorm Proctor at St. Stephen's Episcopal School
Led residential safety, student mentorship, conflict resolution, and emergency response inside a boarding community, coordinating directly with dorm staff, counselors, and administrators.
Projects
Software (and some hardware) I have designed, built, and shipped.
MonopolyBench
A deterministic multi-agent LLM research benchmark testing long-horizon planning, negotiation, deception, memory, and economic decision-making across multiple complete Monopoly games, with schema-bound tool calling, validated actions, and replayable state. Research paper forthcoming.
F1 Reinforcement Learning
A custom Formula 1 racing-AI lab combining FastF1-calibrated physics, CUDA evolutionary search, behavior cloning, and SAC; the learned policy laps Monza in 78.683s against an 89.327s FastF1 qualifying benchmark.
IMC Prosperity 4 Quant Trading Competition
Finished top 6% worldwide in IMC Prosperity 4 among 18,803 teams, building market-making and statistical-arbitrage strategies with Black-Scholes voucher pricing and hindsight-oracle research.
Beyond Chat
A project-centered agentic hub where teams run reusable agents against company knowledge and turn their work into durable, reviewable outputs through shared memory, approvals, and automation.
Go Web Crawler
A high-concurrency Go web crawler with BFS discovery, a host-partitioned frontier, robots-aware scheduling, PostgreSQL persistence, and a live reading interface; crawled 10,003 public pages in 67.96s (~147.2 pages/sec).
Pact
A 1st-place HackSMU (Solana Track) mobile accountability platform where users stake money on commitments, submit proof, and resolve outcomes through peer-validator voting and token escrow.
Personal Site + Tracker
A personal digital museum for everything I have built, researched, written, and filmed, paired with a private tracker, Google Calendar sync, and a custom OAuth-secured MCP server that runs my entire life.
NovelBench
A live public research benchmark where 2 to 8 frontier models generate, anonymously critique, revise, and judge creative ideas, producing Glicko-ranked leaderboards with built-in bias audits.
AutoHDR ML Lens Correction
A geometry-first neural lens-correction system combining Brown-Conrady calibration with learned residual flow; scored 89.42, earned an honorable mention, and led to a CTO call about hiring the team.
