Hi! I am a researcher and developer residing in Canada. My field of interests is quite extensive, ranging from web development and creative coding, game dev, machine learning and cybersecurity.

Currently, I am doing my Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, having graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems (BCIS). I am actively involved in various research projects with my professor and have a keen interest in UI design. I aspire to further deepen my expertise in machine learning through advanced studies and practical work.

I like programming a lot!

ChaiChat

ChaiChat is a modern AI-powered chat platform built on Next.js 15, Convex, and the T3 stack to evaluate real-time conversational performance across multiple large language models. It combines a Convex database with optimistic updates and Dexie offline caching, resumable streaming from OpenAI GPT-4o, Gemini Flash, and Claude via the AI-SDK, and anonymous, rate-limited access gated by hCaptcha.

AI Drives

I started experimenting with reinforcement learning using Unity’s ML-Agents Toolkit. After resolving setup issues on my Mac with the help of Jack McKew’s guide, I trained a car agent that initially kept getting stuck. Through trial and error with obstacle sensors, reward shaping, and penalties, I fine-tuned its behavior until it could consistently navigate and reach its goal.

MindClick

Inspired by Neuralink’s Summer 2025 update, I built a DIY BCI that fires in The Finals (Embark Studios) using neural intent alone. A single-channel EEG with the BioAmp EXG Pill on C3, Arduino digitization, and Python processing extract sensorimotor rhythms. Alpha (8 to 12 Hz) and beta (13 to 30 Hz) power ratios feed a lightweight classifier that checks every 0.6 seconds to trigger “shoot.” Early runs show control with some noise and EMG artifacts. This prototype points to accessible neural control for gaming and rehab and anchors my thesis application.
