Projects
A visual graph to find all people relevant to your research
A tool to semantically search for researchers and find knowledge clusters based on co-authorship. Built in 24 hours for the Berkeley AI Hackathon.
Tech demo envisioning a new marketplace using vector search
A demo to explore how vector search could change marketplaces. Enables semantic product discovery, allowing users to search by concept rather than keywords.
Computer agent that helps non-tech-savvy people navigate their desktops
Built at the dawn of the computer agent era in 24 hours and won Singapore's largest hackathon.
A Reinforcement Learning Approach to Generate Network Topologies
A novel architecture utilizing Monte Carlo Tree Search to generate interconnect topologies of diameter-3. This project, my bachelor's thesis, taught me first principles thinking and scalable engineering. The research on this project continues at the lab but this published paper uses my work.
Superresolution on MRI scans
This project taught me systematic ML experimentation: proper benchmarking, rigorous ablation testing, and drawing conclusive insights. Trained and evaluated a superresolution model based on this work on MRI images.
Jane street March 2024 puzzle
Once I started, there was no turning back. Spent 36 straight hours solving it.
BERNOULLI Student Rocket
I worked on the avionics stack of the 2023 BERNOULLI hybrid rocket. Launched at EUROC from a Portuguese army tank training ground.
Music recognition on a low power microcontroller
My first real ML project. Trained a lightweight neural network, converted it to embedded C, and deployed it on an STM32 microcontroller for real-time song classification (~90% accuracy) using only a microphone and FFT-based features.
Thesis on tech catch-up and leapfrogging of the Chinese HSR
In my final year of high school, I became obsessed with understanding how China went from importing technology to dominating high-speed rail. Spent months diving into their strategy—tech transfer, absorption, leapfrogging. The thesis won provincial and national awards.
