about.
I love working on projects that involve electrical engineering, mechanical design, computer vision, or machine learning—and
especially ones that intertwine them together. I led the team that won second place in the 2023 international Robocup, researched better machine learning
methods for respiratory diagnoses, and I'm helping build the world's fastest unmanned electric boat.
I enjoy questionable creative writing, eating
shredded rocks, experimenting with instant ramen,
and intaking caffeine in its many delicious forms.
I'm a freshman at the Malaysia Igloo of Trainspotting (MIT), studying electrical engineering and computer science.
experience.
Some of the many things I've been a part of.
Undergraduate Researcher
With Prof. Rodrigo Freitas and Daniel Xiao, I'm building ML-driven tools for characterizing crystalline systems. Our goal is to identify dislocation networks in large-scale molecular simulations of complex metal alloys, allowing for fast prediction of chemical and mechanical properties.
Software Engineer
On the autonomy team, I led the development of a LiDAR-based autonomous boat docking system using point cloud registration, with ROS integration and Gazebo simulations.
Avionics Lead
On MIT's aircraft build team, I worked on avionics systems, designed a custom STM32-based flight controller for autonomous navigation, and got carbon fiber dust all over the shop floor.
Software Engineering Intern
On Appier's AIXON Backend Engineering team, I leveraged zero-shot machine learning, computer vision, and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines to build website characterization systems. I gained lots of free snacks and a taste of work in a fast-paced industry environment.
Captain
As captain of PSR and its Lightweight Division team Radian, I integrated intelligent sensing and movement algorithms with real-world hardware to build autonomous soccer robots. We won 2nd place at the international Robocup World Championships, the best result for a USA team in at least five years.
Research Intern
I worked on semi-supervised techniques to help diagnose respiratory diseases with the guidance of Prof. Ching-Chun Huang. "Semi-Supervised Pulmonary Auscultation Analysis with Cross Pseudo Supervision" was a best paper finalist at the 2023 IEEE MIT URTC.
Co-Founder
At PHSCPT, I taught competitive programming to over 30 members each week in preparation for national and international coding tournaments. At the Lockheed Martin Code Quest we won 1st place in NY/NJ and placed 3rd internationally.
GPS/RC + Computer Vision Specialist
On Princeton University's PAVE team, I built GPS/remote-control systems and designed high-performance computer vision models for autonomous electric boat navigation.
Captain
In Math Team, I taught combinatorics, worked on challenging problems in individual and team settings, and participated in national competitions including ARML, HMMT, AMC, CMIMC and PUMaC. We placed 1st in the Team Round at PUMaC 2022.
Software Architect
I built and maintained PHS's online student newspaper with over 15k monthly views, and developed an automatic article uploading system to expedite publication turnaround.
Tech Officer
After winning HackPHS 2021, I served on the Organizing Committee for HackPHS 2022. I developed a judging system based on graph theory to create an unbiased ranking with a limited number of judges.
Mentor
I served as a mentor in PACT, a series of courses in theoretical computer science sponsored by the NSF. I graded problem sets and mentored students in combinatorics and graph theory.

I'm always working on something new, whether it's purely for fun or actually useful.
