projects
- Google Canada challenge winner. Architected a RAG system integrating Gemini with internal docs. Built a custom ingestion pipeline for vector indexing, achieving high-accuracy retrieval. Ranked #1 by Google Canada's global head of partnerships.
- native Swift iOS ADHD task manager. AI breaks vague tasks into micro-steps, shows one at a time, and fires streaks + confetti on every win. Built the full reward loop — swipe to complete, level-up system, focus mode.
- gamified coding environment modeled after LeetCode to improve typing speed. Built with Next.js and TypeScript, implementing real-time accuracy tracking and WPM calculation with sub-millisecond local processing for keystroke handling.
- Developed a strictly audio-conditioning POC for Suno engineering to test capability limits. Built an AI-powered pipeline transforming audio loops into melodic hooks with a Streamlit frontend.
- middleware firewall for autonomous trading agents. Validates trades against 14 configurable safety gates-position limits, drawdown kill switches, rate limits-before orders reach the exchange. Live on Hyperliquid with multi-exchange support for Binance and dYdX.
- interactive analytics platform for real-time option pricing. Implemented the Black-Scholes model to calculate Greeks and optimized rendering for complex heatmaps.
