CAR-T manufacturing quality control
I proposed a system combining Raman spectroscopy and metabolic measurements to classify manufacturing batches as pass, adjust, or flag. It has not been experimentally or clinically validated.

Bughouse chess engine
I'm building a Bughouse chess engine with a classmate under PhD mentorship. It is designed to play one board alongside a human partner on the other.
FITdb curation · MAGeCK · Scanpy
FITdb analysis notebooks
I write notebooks to analyze published CRISPR screens. They include quality checks and document the source data and analysis steps.

BinIt waste-sorting app
I built BinIt with two teammates. The app uses a photo to assess an item's material and condition, then checks local disposal rules and cites municipal sources. Our demo used San Jose rules.
