I'm a computer science student at Vanderbilt (graduating May 2027). I build desktop apps that run AI locally, research tools, and the occasional piece of hardware.

What I'm working on

• CLAIR Analytics (private). A local-first desktop app that lets researchers ask questions about their spreadsheets in plain English without the data leaving their machine. React + Tauri frontend, FastAPI backend, DuckDB, Polars, XGBoost, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime.
• DNA-Entropy-Graph. A Windows app that runs the Evo 2 genomic language model on a cloud GPU and returns per-base entropy tracks for IGV, Geneious, SnapGene and Benchling. Used by researchers in a lab at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
• Wingman. A Windows 11 tray assistant on the Copilot key that looks at your screen and helps, using cloud or local Ollama models. Rust.

Built at Abako

• Abako: a desktop app that runs a national math competition end to end. An Excel question bank goes in, and a 60-question exam with a synced answer key, percentile grading and a printable report card and certificate for every student comes out. Electron, Flask and Python.
• Abako_emulator (private): a pixel-level emulator of the AB-991EX scientific calculator for Windows, macOS and the web. The core is plain TypeScript with no DOM in it, taking key presses through a parser and evaluator onto a 192x63 LCD framebuffer, wrapped in Tauri 2, with 244 golden screen tests so any change that moves a pixel fails the suite.

Benchmarks and side projects

• Zero-Shot-Variant-Effect: a benchmark asking whether DNA language models small enough to run on a laptop CPU can predict variant effects with no training. On 3,644 BRCA1 saturation genome editing SNVs, HyenaDNA and Nucleotide Transformer v2 sit at about 0.45 AUROC against 0.83 for a plain conservation score, with positive controls showing the result is the method and not the harness.
• AI-Song-lyrics-Generation: artist-conditioned lyric generation in PyTorch. An LSTM, a GRU and two transformers on one split and the same 12.3M training tokens, from 2.608 down to 1.892 test bits per character, with an n-gram check showing the best model is also the one that copies most.
• Syringe_Pump: a 3D-printed syringe pump with Arduino firmware.

Open source

• tauri-apps/tauri #16060 (open): tauri-bundler cannot build an installer under the Windows SYSTEM account, because it caches its 32-bit NSIS and WiX tools below System32 and WOW64 redirects those tools somewhere they do not exist. The fix keeps them in the project output directory instead.
• tauri-apps/tauri #16058 (open): stop tauri info from crashing on package manager versions that are not valid semver.
• dmlc/xgboost #12583 (merged): fix train() and cv() crashing on Windows when a metric is NaN, which MSVC prints as -nan(ind).
• huggingface/huggingface_hub #4950 (fixed upstream): Windows downloads failed with a MAX_PATH error because the long-path prefix was decided before the .incomplete suffix was added. A maintainer landed a smaller version of my fix in #4978 and credited the PR.
• microsoft/onnxruntime #32707 (approved): write_calibration_table wrote with no explicit encoding, so one non-ASCII tensor name aborted a quantization export on Windows.
• electron/packager #1962 (open): when --out differed from the app directory only in case, the previous build was packed into the new app.
• duckdb/duckdb-python #626 (open): DataFrameReader.load put the raw path into SQL, so paths with slashes, spaces or a drive colon failed to parse.
