i’m a first year master’s student at UC San Diego, currently focusing on the intersection between machine learning and human-computer interaction. i’m mainly interested in data science, natural language processing, and human-centered healthcare.
i like retro hardware and i think that moray eels are cool. i also consume a lot of media so if you found something neat to watch or read, you should message me!
this website is a work in progress. i’m still learning React and webdev is hard!
This was a component of a hackathon that would classify text as a spoiler and flag the text. It was a binary classification model using DistilBERT, and it achieved an impressive 83% accuracy on our test set without any other context. This was then hosted using Flask to host the model.
Tech used: Pytorch, Scikit Learn, Pandas, Scipy, MongoDB, JS, Flask
A course project for my recommender systems class. My main role was creating a dataset collection pipeline to scrape and process entries in preparation for model training, eventually ending up with a feature vector of 13 features within our dataset to describe the content.
Tech used: Python, GraphQL, Pandas, Scikit Learn, Scipy
Implemented a CycleGAN‑based model to transfer musical style from jazz to classical using Tensorflow and Keras. Preprocessed data using Numpy by sampling MIDI files to discrete time and creating a matrix representation of time steps and pitches.
Tech used: Python, Tensorflow, Keras
This was an early static site we used to test and debug a ventilator’s modem systems. It works kind of like dial-up internet, where a series of audio waveforms transfer information. Now I use it to make neat sound effects. Be careful if you use it because it can be quite loud.
Tech used: Javascript, JQuery, HTML, CSS, Pages
