Things I've built

NaviAI

Maritime voyage planning · Mar – Aug 2025

  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Node.js
  • Route optimization

A voyage-planning platform for ships: it calculates sea routes, waypoint ETAs, voyage duration and fuel requirements between global ports, then folds weather, storm and geopolitical risk data into route-level risk scores with mitigation recommendations.

Ranked 17th of 107 projects in the Mays AI Competition.

AURORA

Full-stack hackathon build · TAMUhack

  • FastAPI
  • Next.js
  • Docker
  • LLMs

Upload your code, get the right-sized machine. AURORA runs a user's workload in a sandboxed Docker container, profiles CPU, memory and I/O every half-second to classify its bottleneck, then recommends cloud and HPC configurations with wall-time and cost estimates — plus an LLM advisor that explains the trade-offs.

Mandate

Governed procurement for AI agents · Jul 2026

  • TypeScript
  • Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • Auth0
  • Stripe

When an AI agent is allowed to buy things, something has to say no. Mandate selects eligible supplier offers and enforces supplier, category, delivery-location, order-limit and budget policies on every purchase an agent tries to make.

Under it is an auditable order workflow: organization-scoped Auth0 authorization, human approval gates, idempotent Stripe payments, and automated tests.

Paper-to-Results Graph

Research software · HackwithBay 3.0 · Jul 2026

  • Knowledge graphs
  • Research workflows

A research-workflow prototype that links claims in scientific papers to runnable experiments and records the measured results in a queryable knowledge graph — so a claim, the code that tests it, and the number it produced stay connected.

First place at HackwithBay 3.0, built with a team.

Also in the log

  • FlashPod Hackathon build on serverless GPU — detects and counts electrical symbols on a drawing, prices the materials, and makes every line of the estimate click back to its detections on the plan.
  • Kairo Personal intelligence agent, in progress — scans feeds, filings and sources you care about and surfaces only what matters.
  • Meridian AI-assisted port-call documentation prototype — enter ship and voyage data once, auto-generate every arrival and departure document, review AI-flagged inconsistencies.
  • Competitor Pricing Intelligence An agent that discovers competitors, snapshots their pricing pages, diffs every change, and uses an LLM to explain exactly what moved.
  • TAMU Admissions Chatbot Led a team of 8 building an LLM admissions assistant; ~10–12% faster average responses than existing solutions in testing.
  • Bloomcast Early experiment turning my red-tide research into a bloom-forecasting demo.

STN 03 · −160 m Research

A decade of red tides, quantified

As an undergraduate research assistant in the Hu Lab (Feb 2024 – Jan 2026, advisor Dr. Sarah Hu), I processed and visualized ten years of Port Aransas IFCB and NERRS data (2007–2017) in R to examine Karenia brevis — the organism behind Gulf of Mexico red tides — tracking cell counts and carbon abundance against temperature and salinity.

The lab side was wet: DNA extractions, PCR, DNA quantification and microscopy that contributed to a bioRxiv preprint on Northern Gulf microeukaryotic biodiversity, plus literature and taxonomic curation for Database Darkly, a deep-sea microbial eukaryote database. In May 2026 the work went to sea: I operated the CTD and Niskin bottles on the four-day Schade research cruise.
