Projects
Fine-Tuning a 2B Terminal Agent on Apple Silicon
- Fine-tuned Qwen 3.5 2B with QLoRA on MLX to generate bash commands from natural language
- Built eval suite (67 test cases, Docker sandbox) and generated 3,000+ training examples via Claude Sonnet
- Discovered and reported a macOS GPU watchdog bug, got an undocumented fix from the MLX team
- 59% to 91% accuracy, trained in 28 minutes, runs locally with $0 compute cost
AI Computer Vision for Robotic Hand Data Collection
- Built forearm GoPro mount for eye-in-hand fine-grained manipulation data collection.
- Tuned HaMeR transformer model for 3D hand reconstruction on wrist-mounted camera; ablations dropped the RCNN framing stage and threshold tuning improved detection.
- Presented findings at the UIUC Research Symposium under Professor Saurabh Gupta; research contributed to a paper accepted to CVPR 2025.

US Utility Rate Database
- The SQL query of the USURDB (United States Utility Rate Database) for EV charging not returning invalid information
- Modified query and wrote a Python script to identify missing rates
- Analysis found the USURDB database itself contained incorrect information
- Notified the USURDB and correct rate information was published
