I have two career principles: I want to build things that people use. I yearn to span the knowledge space in its broadest definition. Those two principles guide my professional career, and I have and will continuously work towards that.

| Project | What it is | Built with |
|---|---|---|
| Signalor | Public-sentiment platform for brands and investment firms. Sentiment led Apple's YoY revenue growth by a quarter on held-out data (r = 0.43) | SvelteKit, Bun, Prisma, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis |
| dont-hallucinate | Intercepts coding-agent shell failures, classifies what went wrong, suggests fixes — and mocks your agent. 500+ downloads on PyPI and npm | Python, Bash, PowerShell |
| ferrodoc | Pandoc-compatible document converter in Rust — converts in your own process instead of spawning a 160 MB binary per file. 72× faster on 10,000 DOCX (374 s → 5.2 s), 47/48 real pandoc command lines byte-identical. On PyPI, crates.io and npm | Rust, Python, WASM, C ABI |
| weighted_map | The contiguous US redrawn so distance is travel time, not space. 253 origins, drive or fly, orbitable in 3-D (live) | Python, WebGL, GeoPandas, OSRM |
| Outcast Virus | End-to-end autonomy OS for drone and ground-vehicle swarms — camera-based vSLAM, onboard perception, RL-trained multi-agent navigation. 1st place at DS3 × Bow Capital: won $4k, then a $100k offer to continue | Python, ORB-SLAM3, YOLO11, Jetson, React, Three.js |
| 3D Fractal Simulator | Full 3-D Julia set generator and explorer, hand-written at 15 before LLMs (live) | Unity, C# |
| routine-architect | Deploys a fleet of scheduled cloud agents from a committed manifest, with a watchdog that audits the fleet daily | Claude Code, Python |
| claude-iterate | Builder/critic loop — fresh critic agents review each round against a frozen goal until the work passes | Claude Code, Markdown agents |
| UCSD Crimes | Scrapes, organises and alerts on the UCSD campus crime log (live) | Python, Selenium, React, Node |
