I grew up on the Peninsula, got into the mountains through Scouts, and now split my time between Purdue and the Bay Area. I build data tools, climb, and keep field notes from both.
Projects where the decisions matter as much as the finished artifact.
A map of Bay Area food spots pulled from the recommendations people share. It turns scattered social posts into places you can browse by neighborhood and heat.
Resolve each video to a real place, then rank the map with a weekly Heat Index.
A native SwiftUI app for finding near-duplicate photos without uploading a camera roll.
Run the vision pipeline on-device so the camera roll never needs a network connection.
An Elo Monte Carlo forecast checked against prediction markets and sportsbook prices.
Compare model probabilities with market prices instead of presenting the forecast alone.
An investment-banking-style equity valuation with a formula-driven DCF, defense-peer comparables, sensitivity analysis, and a one-page memo.
Generate the Excel model with Python while keeping the workbook formulas inspectable.
