Featured
Offline RL for Robotic Manipulation
Implementing Implicit Q-Learning (IQL) for offline reinforcement learning on the MARS Lab's multimodal robotic dataset (vision, tactile, force, state). Designing multimodal observation pipelines using R3M ResNet18 encoders with online fine-tuning, and extending the IQL framework to support policy rollout in simulation via a modified Isaac Gym environment.
Chinese Speech Recognition
Optimized audio preprocessing with a multiprocessing pipeline, achieving an 81% speedup across 200,000 audio samples and yielding 3 million training/testing/validation examples. Leveraged CTC Forced Alignment for automatic sentence segmentation and phoneme boundary detection. Developed a Multi-Task Learning model using a ResNet + LSTM integrating Phonotactic Constraint Learning and Counterfactual Data Augmentation.
Boilertheremin
Real-time musical instrument that translates hand gestures and body pose into sound using MediaPipe pose estimation. Generates melodies from chords played using ML models constrained by music theory rules. Won 2nd place out of 70+ submitted projects at Purdue's Boilermake hackathon.
Other Projects
EasyEats (WIP)
This is for if you dont know what you can make with what u got in ur pantry
E-Clair (WIP)
Rocket Money? Monarch? naw bro you must have hit your head. this does takes all of that PLUS more & blazingly fast.
Legend of the White Snake - Story Mode (WIP Passion Project)
Inspired by the Chinese story 白娘子 that has many different interpretations all changing throughout history, this is a 2D RPG style game that has decision based endings.
