Silencing Empowerment, Allowing Bigotry: Auditing the Moderation of Hate Speech on Twitch
ACL 2025 - SAC Highlight Award
Engineered +100,000 data pipeline within 5 second timeouts via Twitch IRC and Pubsub extraction for conducting our 3 tiered experimental design. Measured baseline performance against foundation models and tested counter-factuals on Twitch black-box model. Wrote documentation for code-to-release detailing the Twitch chatbot setup and challenges with Twitch 2FA system
Intelligent Catchment Analysis Tool V2.0
UChicago Computational Oncology Unit - Work in Progress
Engineered a React-Django full-stack prototype enabling epidemiologists to analyse geospatial datasets with 1000+ observations of gene mutation and cancer incidence data from UChicago Medicine`s catchment area. Implemented interactive spatial temporal mapping with Leaflet.js and Bayesian causal inference methods. Automated data ingestion and preprocessing pipelines for multi-decade public health datasets (1988-2022), supporting scalable spatial analysis workflows via Census API.

Built a full-stack Django web app prototype with SQLite for IDX`s 8-week Python and Web Development classes. Integrated user-centered UI and intern compensation program via an iterative process with CEO and team. Led a team of 5 developers to design an 8-week course on Python and Web Development using Canva slides
Piezzo Piano
Engineering Devices Coursework
Engineered a set of piezzo sensors simulating a piano glove with SAMD21 Arduino. Using serial read functionality of the piezzo sensor, the variance of piano notes played was simulated using Garage Band's Piano note player. Using Tinkercad and 3D printers, glove mechanisms for attaching the piezzo sensors while allowing freedom of movement were prototyped.
Smart Glasses: Todo Cat
Printed Circuit Boards Coursework
Egnineered a prototype of the circuit via breadboarding and setup with a bootloader on the ATTiny. Included several input and output devices such as a light sensor, OLED screen, buttons to interact with the processor via UART and I2C serial comm protocols. Designed and developed circuits on KiCad's schematic and PCB editor. Soldering SOP IC components and debugging connection issues, a final product integrated into glasses with a 3D printed mechanism allowed for the PCB to highlight the software like functionality of the to-do device.
Mandala Arts Festival
Front-End Web Development
Developed a static webpage for a Chicago-based Arts Festival organized by the non-profit, Manadala Arts. Designed a custom CTA-inspired frontend using React framework featuring local artists, creations, and their story.
