Interested in web infra and agents, understanding foundation model behavior.
Projects
Built a self-driving golf cart for Stanford's campus. Vision-based driving using modular perception + demoed to Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Andrej Karpathy.
Computer use agent for iPhone via BLE HID emulation of an absolute mouse and keyboard. Screen observation, planning, and CUA task execution, no jailbreak or private APIs. ESP32-S3 and Mac companion support.
Work
Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL)2026Currently working with Linfeng Zhao on modular VLA systems with memory and multi-rate unification. The goal is to build closed-loop robot agents with perception, reasoning, and control, all running together at mismatched rates.
HF0.com2024Built the backend for the residency application infrastructure behind HF0.com. Internal application pipeline, review tooling, and metrics for thousands of founders who were applying to HF0.
Listening.com2023Built low-latency on-device TTS with TensorFlow Lite for iOS. Also used internet data to build a custom multilingual speech dataset for training, and a fully autonomous customer acquisition pipeline that generated over 20,000 qualified leads.
Education
Stanford University2024Currently a 2nd year student studying computer science with a focus on ML and robotics. Researching modular VLAs at SAIL with Linfeng Zhao. Taken CS231n, CS224R, CS238, CS227A, CS229, CS230, CS329T, CS109, CS25, and CS153.
Georgia Institute of Technology2018Enrolled at Georgia Tech at age 11. Then, from ages 11-16 (January 2018 - May 2022), took 8 semesters of Computer Science courses (CS1301, CS1331, CS1332, CS2340, CS4400, CS3600, CS2110, CS2200) as a non-degree seeking student. One of the youngest CS students in the country. Invited to TA Data Structures and Algorithms.
