Engineer. AI Builder. Researcher. Founder.

Building intelligent systems and expanding access to STEM.

ABOUT

I am an engineer and researcher focused on artificial intelligence, robotics, and applied mathematics. My work combines technical depth with social impact. I build systems that solve real-world problems and create initiatives that expand access to technology education.

My interests include

  • Artificial Intelligence and machine learning systems
  • Robotics and hardware experimentation
  • Applied physics and mathematical modeling
  • Software engineering and system design
  • STEM education and community building

What drives me

I am driven by curiosity about how systems behave — whether that is a neural network adapting to input, a gyroscope precessing under torque, or a distributed software service handling synchronization at scale.

CORE AREAS OF WORK

Artificial Intelligence — MindMelody

An AI-driven music generation system designed to adapt to emotional or stress-based inputs. Architecture combines convolutional and recurrent neural networks to analyze patterns and generate context-aware audio output.

  • CNN–RNN architecture
  • Sequence modeling
  • Emotion-informed output generation
  • Mental health applications of AI

Presented as part of innovation competitions and pitched as a scalable AI-for-wellness platform.

Robotics & Engineering

Built LEGO-based robotic systems (Spike Prime, EV3 platforms) and hardware prototypes integrating sensors and control systems.

  • Motion control systems
  • Sensor feedback loops
  • Mechanical stability testing
  • Competition-based robotics engineering

Experimental Physics Research — Extended Essay: Gyroscopic Precession

Investigated the relationship between precession rate (Ωₚ) and spin angular velocity (ω) in a motor-driven flywheel gyroscope.

Research Focus

  • Inverse relationship between Ωₚ and ω
  • Torque and angular momentum modeling
  • Controlled variables including lever arm distance and flywheel radius
  • Experimental error analysis including pivot friction and nutation

Method & Analysis

Developed mathematical modeling, uncertainty propagation, and quantitative error analysis to evaluate theoretical vs experimental results.
