Selected projects
Four side-projects spanning realtime systems, small language models, mobile vision, and a hackathon-grade match engine.
PrSentry
AI-powered code review agent that posts inline review comments on GitHub PRs, cutting manual review time by 80%. Orchestrated with LangChain and LangGraph.
NicheLM
Fine-tunes small open-source LLMs (7B) on tightly-scoped domain data with PyTorch, HuggingFace, and LoRA — lifting domain accuracy by 10% while cutting token usage and inference cost by 90% versus the base model.
SplitShot
Scan a receipt, snap a photo, and SplitShot uses on-device vision to itemize, assign and settle a group bill in seconds. No accounts, no friction.
DelftXJunction
Courier optimization platform using FastAPI and TensorFlow to predict Earnings Per Hour based on real-time weather and location variables. Visualized hotspots with Mapbox GL and Three.js to reduce dead miles.
