About me
Learning by buildingI started coding at 8, making a game in Scratch. The way I learn has not changed much since. Pick something I do not understand, build with it, and find out where it breaks.
I am at UT Austin now for electrical and computer engineering, mostly computer architecture and embedded systems, and most of my week goes to a research lab.
The projects below are the rest of it. A few are useful to other people. Most were the fastest way for me to understand something.

The lab needed a way to tell whether a vision-language model actually reasons across cameras or just answers from whatever single view it was given. Building that test meant matching the same person between cameras in multi-gigabyte surveillance video, then turning those matches into questions with known answers.
The first version handed generation to an LLM, which was the expensive way to do it. Pushing the work down into a symbolic layer instead cut the cost by about 96%, and it took ten versions of the pipeline to settle. I wrote the question set for the MEVA subdataset and presented what we found to the AFRL sponsor.

Undersampled MRI scans finish faster but come back with artifacts. The usual correction trains a network on ground-truth reconstructions. Deep Image Prior does not need any, because the structure of the network does the regularizing, so it runs unsupervised on the scan in front of it.
My work was on convergence: reaching a good reconstruction in 40% less training time, checked with PSNR and SSIM.

Degree planning is a constraint problem, so the solver is code and the LLM only explains.
