coffee planner · agent concierge · friend invites

I wanted a more personal way to find cafes than searching on Google Maps. I created a neighborhood coffee shop finder to discover cozy, work-friendly coffee shops, see nearby parks, and plan an easy weekend meetup around them.

• Discover work-friendly cafes with Wi-Fi, outlets, hours, maps, and AI-generated summaries.
• See nearby parks and use the map to plan a cafe-plus-walk outing.
• Pick a cafe, invite a friend, collect an RSVP, and save the invite to your calendar.

hand tracking · virtual gallery · gesture controls

I built a virtual Claude Monet gallery where your hand controls the experience, using webcam-based hand tracking to render visual effects and move through the collection.

• Track hand movement through the browser with MediaPipe Hand Landmarker.
• Use gestures to navigate the gallery and control the visual experience.
• Explore interaction patterns that could translate to fitness, therapy, and patient support.

event curation · personal ranking · San Francisco

After scrolling through Luma pages and event emails, I put Codex to work on a tool that recommends the next two weeks of San Francisco tech events based on my interests.

• Scan upcoming events and make the strongest recommendations easier to spot.
• Filter for the rooms most likely to match my AI, product, and builder interests.
• Keep the output lightweight enough to check quickly before deciding where to go.

language practice · voice agents · RAG study guides

In August 2025, I built a multi-language voice agent using ElevenLabs and OpenAI's GPT-5 to automatically match a user's conversation to the right language agent, complete with RAG-powered exam prep and conversation guides for French, Spanish, and Korean.

In April 2026, I rebuilt the same voice-based language tutor eight months later with the same concept and prompts to see the effects from the newest model, Sonnet 4.6. The difference in latency, naturalness, and error recovery is the clearest demo I have seen to show how fast this space is moving.

• Routes conversations into French, Spanish, or Korean practice with language-specific agents.
• Pairs RAG-powered exam prep with guided conversation practice and study content.
• Compares the jump from practical voice assistance to more natural, dialect-aware coaching.

hardware prototype · haptic feedback · companion app

In 15.783 Product Design and Development, I worked with a team of mechanical engineers, RISD industrial designers, and fellow Sloan students to build a real working product for a problem a few of us felt firsthand, sitting too long at desks and slouching while watching TV.

Statura is a compact, clip-on posture sensor with haptic feedback and a gamified companion app. The idea came from a simple insight we kept hearing in user interviews. People wanted to improve their posture, but existing solutions were either too obtrusive, too uncomfortable, or too easy to ignore.

• Move from prototypes taped to t-shirts to a polished alpha prototype with Bluetooth, haptic feedback, and a 48-hour battery target.
• Design a companion app that makes posture feedback feel encouraging through a character that levels up as your posture improves.
• Balance engineering optimization with the design question of whether someone would actually want to wear it.

winter operations · Monte Carlo simulation · market expansion

In the MIT System Design and Management Core, our team partnered with Glydways to answer a strategic systems question: could their autonomous personal rapid transit architecture operate safely in winter?

• Evaluate six major architecture options across cost, reliability, and operating constraints.
• Use Monte Carlo simulations to compare winter uptime under different system designs.
• Recommend a dedicated autonomous snowplow with salt distribution on the Pareto frontier.
