I'm a Computer Science student at UCLA heading into my junior year (Class of 2028). Most of what I build sits somewhere between artificial intelligence, full-stack web development, and the UX/UI that makes both actually usable. I like taking problems that are messy, tedious, or opaque and turning them into tools that feel obvious to use.
Lately I've been deep in agentic AI and developer tooling and the infrastructure that makes that reliable.
- OmniVision Technologies (internship) — camera image-signal-processing (ISP) pipelines
- Break Through Tech AI — a year-long program building real machine-learning projects with industry mentorship.
- ML for Health — applying machine learning to medical and health data on a student design team.
- Female crash-test-dummy simulation (UCLA BMES) — simulation and data insights aimed at safety standards that account for everyone, not just the average male body crash dummies were historically modeled on.
MarkCodePolo — Won the GoDaddy Challenge at LA Hacks 2026. An AI agent's map to a codebase: instead of letting coding agents blindly grep-and-read their way through unfamiliar code, it builds a semantic index of a repository — symbols, data flows, architecture, and the unspoken invariants — and serves it to any agent over an MCP server, with a live visualization frontend on top. FastAPI · Next.js · tree-sitter · sentence-transformers · Gemini · MongoDB · MCP · Fetch.ai uAgents
Homiely — Full-stack roommate management. Chores, shared expenses, and roommate availability in one transparent place, with real authentication and an end-to-end tested flow. Fully containerized, so the whole stack — frontend, backend, database — comes up with a single command. React · Flask · PostgreSQL · Docker · JWT · Playwright
AI / ML — scikit-learn, deep learning (CNNs, GANs, batch norm), computer vision (SIFT, homography, stereo reconstruction), LLM & agent tooling (Gemini, MCP), multi-agent systems Web / Full-stack — React, Next.js, Flask, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, REST APIs Languages — Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, C, SQL Design — UX/UI, prototyping, Figma
When I'm not building things, I'm usually sidequesting, drawing, or dressing up my 5'4 giant stuffed duck (incredible investment).
I'm looking for AI / ML internships, and I'm always up for talking about agents, tooling, or whatever you're building.
