This is just to share/document some of my projects and talk about myself a bit. What I like to do is everything from building & training models to creating products. I do deep learning research and full-stack development (better on backend and systems).

At the moment, I lead development of agents at Hedra. I'm also building out a couple projects (and products?) through a portfolio we created called Candy Wrapper Co. "We" refers to me and some other friends.

What I've done in the past

I was previously a research scientist at RunwayML and helped contribute to Gen-1 and Gen-2. I also helped out with the team at Normal Computing doing research (Posteriors, Neural CDEs).

Along the way, I also worked (interned) at Snapchat, SandboxAQ (previously Google X), and Nylas. And, if you count this, I interned at Boeing back in high school where I worked on Echo Voyager (probably did more ping-pong than work though which is why it might not count).

Research Highlights

Project Highlights

• 3D Code Generation
  Building code SDKs for LLMs to create large 3d Minecraft, architecture, and voxel structures. Lots of really neat ideas around animating scenes and more. Collaboration with Matt.

  Site Demo
• Boosted Board Controller
  Dove really deep into learning about Bluetooth and Bluetooth LE protocols. Reverse-engineered the pairing protocol on Boosted Boards after they went out of business. Probably the first person to successfully do so.

  Blog Code Demo
• Palette
  An app to remix your photos by messing with the metadata of the original image. Research into using differential diffusion to maintain subject consistency before image-to-image models got good. Collaboration with Sakun.

  Site Download Demo
• Patchworks
  A distributed search engine to index segments of videos provided a user's search query (think of Perplexity for YouTube). Parsing video and audio content with LLMs to clip together search content. Collaboration with Laurent and Sakun.

  Demo Inspiration
• Floating Hand Canvas
  Started with a whiteboard for floating hands that went viral on X, play around with it yourself. Leveraging MediaPipe models with TensorFlow.js. Collaboration with the tldraw team.

  Site Code Demo

  Then, turned into a canvas for turning your drawings into images with image-to-image models.

  Site Demo
• Gumball
  Experimented with a companion coder to help you solve leetcode-esque problems before agents became popular. Probably could have been the first Cursor before Cursor was a thing (sigh). Collaboration with Avinash.

  Site Demo
• Cetacea
  Back in high school, I led a team to build underwater ROVs (remotely operated vehicles). Something I'm still really proud of to this day and always worth mentioning.
