Montek 2026

Inspired by basement.studio

Hi, I’m Montek, a research engineer based in Canada. I work across AI, machine learning, scientific computing, and interactive systems.

I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin after completing my BCIS at the University of the Fraser Valley. Most of my work sits between software engineering and research: building interfaces, experiments, tools, and prototypes that help me understand systems more deeply.

I like building things that are interactive, useful, and a little experimental.

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.

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.

Capabilities

I’m interested in work that combines engineering, research, and design. These are the areas I keep returning to in my projects.

Research

I’m drawn to research questions around human-computer interaction, learning systems, and tools that make complex ideas easier to explore. I like turning papers, prototypes, and experiments into working software.

Technical Research

Open Source

AI

I build practical AI systems: chat interfaces, retrieval tools, classifiers, agents, and reinforcement learning experiments. I care less about hype and more about making models useful in real workflows.

Natural Language Processing

Model Deployment

Reinforcement Learning

Deep Learning

Design

Design is where I slow down and think about how software feels. I enjoy making interfaces that are clear, responsive, and enjoyable to use without getting in the way.

UX/UI Design

Motion & Visual Systems

Development

I build full-stack web apps, APIs, internal tools, and interactive experiences. I care about clean implementation, fast iteration, and making projects easy to maintain after the first version works.

Backend Engineering  

DevOps & CI/CD

API Design

Frontend Frameworks

From Colleagues & Mentors
