FEATURED PROJECTS

What I've Built

NeuroFocus preview
Using EEG and AI to Classify Human Attention States

NeuroFocus

NeuroFocus is a machine learning project that classifies cognitive attention states—Focused, Distracted, and Overstimulated—by analyzing EEG data from the DEAP dataset. I built a complete ML pipeline that extracts key features from EEG frequency bands (Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma) and applies models like SVM, LSTM, and CNN to achieve up to 90% classification accuracy. The system is designed with real-world applications in mind, such as mental focus tracking, neurofeedback, and brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. This project highlights the intersection of neuroscience and AI, showing how neural signal processing can be used for accurate, real-time cognitive state monitoring.

LLM Sensitivity Evaluation in Political Contexts preview
Analyzing Large Language Model Political Bias & Response Consistency

LLM Sensitivity Evaluation in Political Contexts

This project explores how large language models (LLMs) respond to politically sensitive prompts, leveraging techniques in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Automatic Prompt Evaluation (APE). The pipeline systematically probes LLMs with ideologically varied inputs and quantifies their response consistency and sensitivity. It offers a practical framework for analyzing model alignment, political bias, and linguistic stability—critical challenges in modern NLP. The insights contribute to building more robust, transparent, and socially-aware AI systems.

A BIT ABOUT ME

WHO I AM

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. I completed my undergrad at UC San Diego in Cognitive Science (Machine Learning) and Computer Science. I love building and scaling AI projects.

I am a builder. I create software, engage in entrepreneurial ventures, lead communities, and challenge myself through fitness. Whether it's coding or CrossFit, I appreciate the struggle and tend to fall in love with the process.

Apart from work, I enjoy staying active through soccer, tennis, biking, and running. I'm also passionate about traveling to new places and winding down with a good book whenever I can. (check out my Strava if you're curious)!
