Data Science & Cognitive Science (Neuro) @ UC San Diego · Applied AI @ BCG X · Co-Director @ DataHacks
I work at the intersection of ML systems and neuroscience, from biomedical NLP pipelines to hackathon builds that have to actually work on stage.
- Interning as an AI Product intern at BCG X in San Francisco through summer 2026
- Co-direct DataHacks, UCSD's flagship hackathon, ~450 participants, run through DS3
- Research at Knight Lab building an LLM pipeline over ~30,000 microbiome papers, working toward a first-author paper
- Also in MOSAIC Lab under Prof. Tauhidur Rahman, working on the PhysioNet Challenge for PSG-based cognitive decline prediction
- 7+ hackathon wins across ~15 competitions, including HackMIT, CalHacks, and Hacklytics @ GTech
Clueless — AI-powered web navigation assistant that maps any webapp into a Neo4j knowledge graph, then lets you ask in plain English or by voice how to do something and highlights exactly what to click. Built with Claude, RAG over Pinecone, and Cerebras for inference. Built at HackMIT, won the Wispr Flow track. Repo
Few Word Do Trick — EEG-to-LLM pipeline with a LangGraph StateGraph agent and a leakage-aware ML pipeline, with voice output through ElevenLabs. Won the Lava track at CalHacks. Repo
Winnow — Multi-path prompt compression pipeline built at Berkeley's AI Hackathon. Runs several compression methods (LLMLingua-2, LongLLMLingua, AttentionRAG) in parallel and merges their decisions, then optionally routes to a KV-cache-compressed model via TurboQuant and LCLM. Repo
TaxDaddy — Real-time voice-driven tax assistant with streaming OCR and fraud detection. Placed 3rd at Hacklytics. Repo
See With Me — Digital forensics tool that streams live footage from Meta Ray-Bans through a fine-tuned YOLOv11n model to detect and track objects of interest, with LLM-generated captions and a searchable keyframe database. Built at Bitcamp 2025. Repo
QA Smith — Crawls a website and uses Claude to auto-generate production-ready Playwright tests, smoke, logic, and load, backed by a Neo4j graph of the site structure. Built at the Claude Builder Club @ UCSD 48 Hour Build Challenge. Repo
