Leveraging technology for Impact

I'm a tech enthusiast based in New York City who enjoys turning ambitious ideas into functional, real-world solutions. CS @ NYU.

Raise The Bar

React | AI Audio | Web Game

Real-time AI Rap Battles

Winner of Columbia University DevFest 2026. An experimental web game where players compete in timed rap rounds scored by multiple AI judges evaluating flow, wordplay, and delivery.

  • Implemented a multi-model AI pipeline, integrating Featherless and K2 reasoning models to power a virtual judge panel that transcribes and evaluates real-time, two-player rap battles for flow, wordplay, and delivery.
  • Built a high-performance React/TypeScript app with Supabase (PostgreSQL), orchestrating ElevenLabs for low-latency audio transcription and voice feedback.
SynthLearn

React | Gemini AI | EdTech

AI-Powered Study Platform

A centralized workspace leveraging Google's Gemini AI to transform static documents into interactive study tools. Features include automated quiz generation, 3D flashcards, and a context-aware study chat.

  • Architected a React/Node.js platform with a resizable workspace, headless TipTap editor, and a Gemini Pro RAG pipeline to transform PDFs into interactive study tools with sub-100ms latency.
  • Deployed a secure pipeline on Vercel/Render using custom Express middleware and pdf-parse, backed by Supabase (PostgreSQL) and JWT authentication.

MERN Stack | React | Agile

AI-Assisted Roommate App

Designed to make shared living simpler by helping roommates coordinate chores, track bills, and streamline communication through a single intuitive platform.

  • Led an Agile team as Lead Developer/Scrum Master, architecting the platform and orchestrating the UI/UX lifecycle via interactive Figma prototypes.
  • Built and deployed a containerized React/Express/MongoDB app with JWT auth, automating CI/CD via Docker and GitHub Actions for delivery to DigitalOcean with Mocha/Chai testing.

About Me

As a CS student at NYU, I enjoy turning ambitious ideas into functional, real-world solutions. From architecting AI-powered platforms to streamlining databases, I focus on bridging the gap between complex backend infrastructure and seamless user experiences.

When I'm not writing code, you can usually find me exploring NYC, playing chess, or searching for my next favorite coffee shop.
