About
I build at the intersection of deep learning, reinforcement learning, and robotics. The goal is usually to get algorithms to do something useful in the physical world.
Currently a Research Scientist at Pindrop. Previously a Graduate Research Assistant at Columbia's Creative Machines Lab.

A quadrupedal robot that learns to walk through reinforcement learning, from CAD to simulation to real hardware.
Precision Coffee Grinder
A Raspberry Pi powered single-dose coffee grinder with a round touchscreen dial and a configurable stepper-motor drive.
TidyNET
An end-to-end deep learning system for robotic workspace organization that uses diffusion-based visual planning to turn clutter into order.
Artificial Synaptic Pruning
Biologically-inspired pruning that can shrink neural networks by 90% while preserving, or even improving, accuracy.
Brushless Lamp
A kinetic smart lamp where a closed-loop BLDC motor raises a lit core to set brightness, with a knob and Matter over WiFi.
RaiDrive
A lightweight native macOS menu bar app that syncs local folders to Google Drive, built as a fast alternative to the official client.
LLM-Based Assistant
A custom AI assistant embedded in this portfolio, with RAG over my own documents, served on a free-tier serverless stack.
Magnetic Wallet
An industrial-design exploration of a slim, magnetically-assembled wallet, modeled in Fusion 360 and 3D-printed.
Plex File Manager
A web-based file manager for Plex media servers, with large-file uploads and automatic library refresh after changes.
