Computer EngineeringCompE @ Brown '29
I build from silicon to software. I co-founded Bloom, led narb.cc to 1,000+ monthly users, and led the chip team whose ADC was picked for tapeout. I also win hackathons, sometimes solo.

An AR game in Chrome where the room you point your phone at becomes the level. Gemini captions the scene, Nemotron designs the world, and ElevenLabs voices the mobs. You play it with an ESP32 controller I built. I made world generation 16× faster.

HackPrinceton 2026 · now a startup
Builds a 3D hair model from a single selfie. We turned three CV/3D research papers into a product in 36 hours, and it now has 10 paying users. My part was speed: tuning the Gaussian splatting model cut render time by over 75%.
⚡ Selected for tapeout
IEEE SSCS Chipathon 2026 · team lead
I led Brown Open Silicon's 6-person team. Our 833 kS/s ADC on GF180 ranked 5th of 30+ teams selected for tapeout. I owned the StrongARM comparator and top-level integration, and went from novice to finished layout in a month.
🔐 Firmware RE
HackHarvard 2026
Fall detection with zero video leaving the home. I pulled a Wyze camera's firmware off its flash chip, booted it in QEMU, and swapped its paywalled cloud AI for a local model. I also rooted a Tapo camera over UART.
🧠 91.9% accuracy
Hack Knight 2026
I fine-tuned Qwen3.5-2B with QLoRA on Brown's GPU cluster. It beat a fine-tuned FinBERT by 3 points on financial-tweet sentiment (p = 5e-6). Then I ran six pre-registered trading backtests and reported the results honestly, including the null ones.
🧤 Solo build
BigRed//Hacks 2026
A glove that works as a 3D modeling studio. Tilt to fly, point to place, and speak to build. An ESP32 and IMU stream over BLE to a web app and a native iOS app, and two gloves can build together.
🦉 I built the hardware
DivHacks 2026 · team of 4
Rat surveillance for NYC. I built the $30 Raspberry Pi night-vision camera nodes and a ~100k-frame training set. I also built the in-map AI assistant and the iMessage agent.

My portfolio as a multiplayer pixel game. It has live players over WebSockets on EC2, PvP, a global leaderboard, zombie hordes with A* pathfinding, and a hand-written raycaster 3D mode.
A smart plant pot that senses light, humidity, soil moisture and temperature and turns them into care guidance. It runs on an ESP32 inside a LiPo-powered enclosure that went through 10+ Fusion 360 iterations. We secured $13.8K in Brown funding: the Startup Fellowship ($10K), a DSI Seed Grant ($3.8K) and a Maker Grant ($500).
Built the proof of concept for an event-booking platform that went on to attract $100K in angel commitments and onboard 2 partner venues. Also built the mobile app with the founding team in TypeScript and Expo.
Built a 3D wake model of quadrotor downwash from PIV data in MATLAB. It matched measured velocities to within ~0.001 RMSE using spline and piecewise-Gaussian formulations.
Promoted to project lead after 3 months. Led narb.cc to over 1,000 monthly active users worldwide on Next.js, React Native, Convex, Clerk, EC2 and Stripe, and coordinated SWEs, mobile devs, designers and founders.
Built 12 mock Python APIs, covering Amazon, Gmail, X and others, to benchmark LLM function calling. That included multistep, multiturn and audio tool calls, with automated dataset generation.
Built brownopensilicon.org with Next.js, Firebase and Blender. Led the club's first web-dev cohort and its Chipathon team.
Turned e-waste into 12 solar-powered fans and 10 power banks made from recovered vape batteries, all given to the homeless community in Central Florida.
