I build eval first projects that are easy to reproduce and inspect:
- AI/ML engineering: measurable experiments (multi-seed runs, metrics, benchmarks), clean repo hygiene (tests/CI), and shippable artifacts (plots/videos/logs).
- Robotics/Embedded: sensor + signal pipelines, real-time constraints, and closed loop control in simulation and embedded contexts.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| EMG-Driven Game Prototype (Senior Design) - repo | sEMG acquisition + real-time envelope features, timing/reliability under embedded constraints. |
| Robotics 2D Perception + Control Loop Demo - repo | Pygame differential-drive sim + OpenCV pipeline, closed-loop controller + FSM, exports GIF + telemetry for evaluation. |
| AI Sim RL Demo (CartPole PPO) - repo | PPO (Gymnasium + Stable-Baselines3) with reproducible runs, multi-seed evaluation, and artifacts (curves/videos/logs). |
| RAG-Lite Retrieval + Evaluation - repo | Retrieval stack (TF-IDF/BM25/embeddings + optional reranking) with benchmarking and IR metrics (Recall@K, MRR, nDCG, Precision). |
| Reddit Event Detection & Summarization - repo | NLP pipeline (preprocess -> TF-IDF -> clustering -> extractive summaries with evidence), ROUGE evaluation. |
| Roblox AI NPC (Rojo) Prototype - repo | Lua + Rojo NPC chat calling an external LLM, Roblox text filtering, optional moderation, rate limiting, and short per-player memory. |
