Projects

• Distributed Raft Cache (opens in a new tab)

  A distributed key-value cache built on the Raft consensus algorithm, with leader election, log replication and snapshotting. Adds machine-learned cache eviction and a read-lease path that makes reads far cheaper than full linearizable reads.

  Built with

  • Java
  • Raft
  • Machine Learning

• BookIt (opens in a new tab)

  A full-stack restaurant reservation platform. Customers search, book and manage tables; managers and admins get their own role-based dashboards on top of the same API.

  Built with

  • Next.js
  • Spring Boot
  • MongoDB
  • Docker

• Personal Memory System (opens in a new tab)

  My MS culminating project: a privacy-preserving memory system with semantic retrieval over your own PDFs. Everything runs locally through Ollama and Chroma, so no document ever leaves the device.

  Built with

  • Python
  • Chroma
  • Ollama
  • Docker

• Inference Optimization (opens in a new tab)

  An object detection pipeline that benchmarks YOLOv8s against RT-DETR-L across five acceleration backends, with mAP evaluation, a FastAPI service and a Next.js dashboard for live video and image detection.

  Built with

  • PyTorch
  • FastAPI
  • Next.js
  • TensorRT

• Transitly (opens in a new tab)

  An AI moving assistant that turns a pair of addresses and a move date into a planned task list, then autofills the USPS, utility and ISP forms behind it while keeping an auditable checklist and timeline.

  Built with

  • Python
  • TypeScript
  • LLM Agents

• The Commons (opens in a new tab)

  A cross-domain enterprise marketplace where three storefronts share one portal, backed by a PHP REST API and MySQL. I built Nestly, the student housing marketplace, alongside the shared reviews and tracking features.

  Built with

  • React
  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • GitHub Actions
