stackRust / Tokio / Azalea / Crossterm
aboutA real-time, first-person Minecraft Java renderer for 24-bit ANSI terminals that consumes streamed world data from a local server.
-Built a real-time first-person Minecraft Java renderer for 24-bit ANSI terminals in Rust, consuming streamed world data from a local server rather than capturing the official game client.
-Implemented an Amanatides and Woo DDA voxel raycaster over streamed chunks, distinguishing solid hits, open sky, and unloaded terrain while integrating packet-backed block light, sky light, and server time-of-day.
-Designed a half-block terminal raster pipeline for 2x vertical pixel density, with material transparency, fog, directional shading, an interactive navigation minimap, and non-blocking keyboard controls.

stackPython / FastAPI / React / PostgreSQL / pgvector / D3.js
aboutA semantic search engine for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy with reranked passage retrieval and an interactive concept graph.
-Built a semantic search engine over 74k+ Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy passage chunks from 1,800+ entries, embedding text with all-mpnet-base-v2 and indexing vectors in PostgreSQL via pgvector.
-Improved retrieval quality with a two-stage pipeline combining pgvector similarity search for candidate generation and cross-encoder reranking for semantic relevance scoring.
-Built an interactive D3.js concept graph connecting 1,000+ SEP entries through explicit cross-links and semantic similarity, letting users explore networks of related ideas beyond the encyclopedia's native hyperlink structure.

stackPython / SQLite / Dash / Plotly
aboutA post-game analysis engine for WikiRaces that reconstructs optimal paths and scores player moves over a large offline Wikipedia graph.
-Enabled post-game analysis of WikiRaces across 65M pages and 1.6B edges by compiling Wikimedia SQL dumps into a two-stage offline/runtime architecture with SQLite metadata, memory-mapped CSR adjacency arrays, and category arrays for heuristic search.
-Delivered a Chess.com-inspired accuracy chart and clickable NetworkX path graph, with nodes color-coded by role and zoomable per move, by integrating Plotly and Dash into a fully browser-based interface.
-Reconstructed optimal paths for any WikiRace by implementing bidirectional BFS for exact shortest-path search and A* with a Jaccard category heuristic to steer traversal through topically related articles.

stackTypeScript / React / AssemblyAI / Cohere
aboutA real-time Twitch sentiment dashboard that tracked stream mood by combining live audio transcription with chat-focused NLP classification.
-Delivered a real-time dual-signal sentiment dashboard for Twitch streamers at Hack the North 2022 by piping live audio through AssemblyAI and running a fine-tuned Cohere NLP classifier trained on Twitch chat in parallel.
-Enabled continuous stream capture into a Node.js and TypeScript backend by bridging Streamlink's CLI and persisting timestamped transcripts to CockroachDB for longitudinal engagement analysis.

stackVue.js / Tailwind CSS / Vercel Serverless
aboutA customizable calendar app designed for niche routines, from school schedules to gardening and health tracking.
-Built a flexible calendar experience that could adapt to very different personal workflows instead of assuming one default template.
-Designed use cases around gardening schedules, menstrual cycles, school timetables, and other recurring planning systems.
-Won the Best Beginners' Hack prize at StemWarriorHacks 2021 out of roughly 500 participants.
