Where I've been
Picture a flat reverse-chronological CV, then spill a cup of coffee across it. The dates run; the shapes survive. That's the page below — research, teaching, everything else, in the order the stain left them.
01 : Experience

-
Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer
Jan 2026 — PresentSkop Intelligence, Berkeley, CA
Building Rust OCR infrastructure with native TensorRT inference (~200 docs/sec) across a 20M-document corpus. Trained a 98.2%-accuracy document-type classifier distinguishing agendas, board minutes, and other artifacts. Closed a $150K licensing deal with the American Enterprise Institute for non-commercial access to the largest U.S. public-school-board minutes dataset.

Machine Learning Researcher
Jan 2026 — Apr 2026Wabash College
Built AdaFrame: a three-tier deduplication cascade (perceptual hash → LPIPS → CLIP clustering) with adaptive per-video frame budgets derived from SVD-based Intrinsic Semantic Dimensionality. On 500 videos from the Pitt Ads Dataset, cut VLM inference cost by 75% and frame count by 48% vs. uniform sampling while improving topic accuracy to 86.0% (+1.6 pp) and sentiment accuracy to 79.4% (+7.5 pp). Provider-agnostic across Gemini 2.5 Flash and Claude 3 Haiku (<1 pp variation). Paper under review at ACM Multimedia 2026.

Summer Research Assistant (Robotics)
May 2025 — Aug 2025Wabash College · Math & CS Department / advised by Dr. Qixin Deng
Architected a hybrid autonomous-navigation system fusing GPS waypoints, computer vision, and LiDAR — 97% obstacle detection accuracy and 2 m positional precision in outdoor testing. Implemented multi-sensor fusion with pixel-to-angle mapping and emergency protocols, plus adaptive control with serial communication for navigation under varying terrain and weather.

Machine Learning Research Intern
Aug 2024 — Apr 2025Wabash College
Built a U-Net + ResNet model for facial-emotion recognition across 135 compound emotion classes; designed a dataset expansion strategy for severe class imbalance; collaborated with cybersecurity and HCI partners on behavioural-threat detection and adaptive authentication. Presented at IEEE ICAIC 2025.
