Projects
What I've built
Shipped under pressure, from hackathons to real city deployments.
GenAI Interactive Storybooks
Making science and history come alive for kids
iOS app that generates fully interactive, personalized storybooks using generative AI — designed to teach science and history to children through narrative and illustration. Built in a team of 3.
AquaTrax — Water Leak Detection
ML-powered infrastructure monitoring for city water systems
Led a team of 5 to build ML models (PCA, random forest, LDA, neural nets) on 8M+ datapoints for water leakage detection. Reached 94.6% accuracy and deployed in Newport Beach and Irvine city systems.
EcoTravel — Trip Impact Calculator
Travel smarter, pollute less
Web app that generates travel ticket package deals and predicts the ecological footprint of each trip, helping travelers make environmentally conscious decisions.
