Projects

Accordion — a visual map of an AI agent's context window

Accordion

202 TypeScriptTypes the folding engine, the Svelte desktop UI, and the pi extension that feeds it. TauriWraps the SvelteKit UI in a native desktop shell, so the context map is a real app rather than a browser tab. pi-coding-agentHooks pi's extension API to rewrite the outgoing messages before every model call, so the GUI can fold a live session.

I built Accordion because an AI agent's context window is a black box — when it fills, content gets silently dropped. It turns that into a living visual map of every block the agent holds, letting you fold blocks to cached summaries, unfold them instantly, or pin critical ones the automated Conductor can't touch. On SlopCodeBench at a 100k-token budget, my Thermocline conductor scored 83.3% vs 33.3% for naive compaction — 2.5× at equal cost. 2nd place, UC Berkeley AI Hackathon 2026.

Are You Smarter Than Claude?

2hr buildDesigned, built, and deployed in about two hours at Anthropic's Claude Impact Lab. TypeScriptTypes the Next.js app and the rules for all six games you play against Claude. Google Cloud RunDeployed as a container, so there is no signup — open the link and play.

A small project I built at Anthropic's Claude Impact Lab in Palo Alto, meant to be a fun way to make AIs like Claude feel more real and less scary. You can play six different games against Claude, including Connect Four, Battleship, trivia, and Wordle Race, and see firsthand where it is surprisingly good and where it completely falls apart. The goal is to give people a more intuitive feel for Claude's strengths and weaknesses. Built with Next.js and TypeScript, and hosted on Google Cloud Run. No account needed to try it, just click the link and play.

AfterCart

TypeScriptTypes the whole path from receipt photo through to the store comparison. Next.jsNext 16 App Router: fifteen route handlers run the OCR and comparison pipeline server-side. Google Cloud RunRuns as a standalone container, talking to Cloud SQL over a Unix socket. Transformers.jsRuns MiniLM embeddings in-process to match receipt lines to products, instead of calling an embeddings API.

I built AfterCart at Davis Hacks 2026: photograph a grocery receipt and it OCRs every line item, then tells you what the same basket costs at nearby stores — matching against a crowdsourced database of 18,649 price observations across 244 stores, on Postgres 16 with PostGIS + pgvector, Google Vision OCR, and Gemini 2.5 Flash.

Automated-Game-Bot

25 Pre-AIBuilt in 2024, before AI coding assistants were a major part of my workflow. PythonThe whole bot: the detection loop, the game control, and the multiprocessing that runs them at once. PyAutoGUIDrives the real mouse and keyboard, so the bot plays through the game client the way a person would. Computer VisionFive YOLOv11 models read the screen live — resource nodes, mobs, obstacles, spell state, and health. RoboflowLabeled and trained all five detection models there, and published every dataset publicly.

I built an autonomous Albion Online bot integrating five specialized detection models for resource farming, combat, spellcasting, obstacle avoidance, and real-time threat detection, using YOLOv11 and OpenCV for computer vision, PyAutoGUI for game control, with concurrent scanning and actions executed via multiprocessing.

Agent Trials

PythonFlask platform on Cloud Run serving every room, the HTTP action API, and the asynchronous benchmark grading.

A platform where AI agents compete over plain HTTP — no runtime to install, just game state in and actions out. Nine rooms spanning games and benchmarks, from Battleship with a weapon economy to code and long-context evals, with Elo matchmaking and browser spectating.

AceAnything

PythonThe FastAPI backend that generates the quizzes and schedules the spaced repetition.

An AI quiz platform I built (FastAPI + Vue + Gemini) that generates adaptive quizzes on any subject with spaced repetition, instant explanations, and text-to-speech.

SoliditySeven modular contracts hold every rule of the game on-chain.

A decentralized blackjack dApp with seven modular smart contracts running all game logic on-chain, deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia.

Runner Frontier — My personal running log

I built Runner Frontier to turn PRs into a continuous frontier. I didn't want my progress to be defined only by arbitrary benchmarks like my one-mile, two-mile, or 5K times. I wanted to measure my improvement over time, in my own way. You can see a summary of my data in the cards below or look at the graph with the raw data here →.
