Projects

Selected research code, agent workflows, and engineering projects. These systems turn research questions into artifacts that can be inspected, tested, and improved.

Research project2026

SKA-VCT: Listening to the Motion

Physical consistency for audio-visual segmentation

A research project on locating sounding objects by aligning audio spectra with motion evidence instead of trusting static visual saliency alone.

Uses spectral-kinematic alignment to retrieve sound-activated motion cues.
Adds motion-prompted query generation to focus segmentation on genuine sounding objects.
Targets false positives caused by salient but silent objects.

To Think or Not to Think

Pre-decisional reasoning budgets for Ref-AVS

A reproducible Think-Ground-Segment pipeline for comparing zero, short, and long reasoning before grounding referring audio-visual expressions.

Frames reasoning length as a decision made before segmentation.
Compares compact object descriptions against longer reasoning traces.
Connects reasoning budget choices to segmentation behavior and failure modes.

Research system2026

PosterMELD

Editable, diverse, print-ready paper-to-poster generation

A multi-agent system that turns scientific papers into editable PowerPoint posters while controlling design diversity, content grounding, and print readiness.

Coordinates paper understanding, capacity-aware writing, layout, visual placement, and bounded quality repair.
Keeps text, figures, tables, section bars, and logos editable across 24 poster templates.
Evaluates end-to-end generation on 621 papers with print-readiness and visual-quality metrics.

DraftCode system architecture for the NBA draft prediction war room

AWS Hackathon2026

DraftCode: NBA Draft War Room

Three-signal NBA draft prediction with auditable agents

An auditable NBA draft intelligence system that combines talent, expert mock drafts, and market signals before simulating 30 distinct GM decision styles.

Runs 1,500 Monte Carlo draft scenarios to produce confidence-scored picks instead of one brittle ranking.
Separates expensive LLM judgment from deterministic sampling through an LLM-once architecture.
Maps the workflow to S3, Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, and an evidence ledger for auditability.

Course project2024

Stardew-Valley

Playful systems coursework in Cocos2d-x

A game systems project that helped me practice interaction loops, collision detection, inventory design, map scenes, and simulation mechanics.

Implemented map scenes, backpack logic, movement, and base simulation systems.
Built with a small team and documented development logs across the semester.
A good reminder that engineering can stay playful.
