Building AI-Powered Software
That Solves
Real Problems.

I build AI-powered software and backend systems with a focus on practical problem solving, scalable architecture, and intelligent automation.

My work spans local AI, semantic search, REST APIs, databases, modern web applications, and machine learning — with projects designed to solve real-world problems rather than simply demonstrate technology.

Currently building JARVIS, a modular personal AI platform exploring voice interaction, persistent memory, intelligent automation, and multimodal capabilities.

JARVIS

Modular Local AI Assistant with Voice Interaction, Persistent Memory, and Extensible Architecture

Personal ProjectSole DeveloperActive Development

JARVIS is a modular AI assistant designed to run locally while combining voice interaction, persistent memory, local language models, and an extensible software architecture. The long-term vision is to evolve JARVIS into an intelligent desktop operating layer capable of automating workflows, understanding its environment, and acting as a personalized AI companion.

Vehicle AI Diagnostic

AI-Powered Vehicle Diagnostics Using Hybrid Semantic Search

Personal ProjectSole DeveloperCompleted

Vehicle AI Diagnostic is an intelligent troubleshooting assistant that combines traditional OBD-II diagnostic code lookup with semantic vector search to provide context-aware repair guidance. Rather than relying solely on exact fault codes, the system understands natural language descriptions of vehicle symptoms and retrieves the most relevant failures using AI-powered similarity search.

Backend Infrastructure for a Team-Based Volunteer Management Platform

Team ProjectBackend Software EngineerCompleted

VolunteerHub is a collaborative full-stack volunteer management platform developed by a team of software engineering students. My primary responsibility was designing and implementing the backend architecture, including database modeling, REST API development, authentication, and role-based authorization to provide a secure and scalable foundation for the application.

Built With Purpose

This Website

The portfolio itself is an engineering project—designed to demonstrate modern frontend architecture, performance, accessibility, SEO, security, and production deployment.

Next.jsReactTypeScriptTailwind CSSFramer MotionVercel

Rather than treating the portfolio as a static collection of projects, I built it as a real software system. The architecture emphasizes reusable components, maintainable data structures, responsive interfaces, accessibility, search optimization, and security-conscious web configuration.

Modern Architecture

Built with the Next.js App Router using reusable components, centralized configuration, structured project data, and a maintainable component architecture.

Performance

Optimized for fast loading and efficient rendering, with Lighthouse testing used to identify JavaScript, rendering, and network performance bottlenecks.

Accessibility

Designed with semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, visible focus states, accessible controls, and skip navigation support.

SEO & Discoverability

Includes structured metadata, canonical URLs, Open Graph, Twitter cards, sitemap and robots configuration, structured data, and an LLM-readable site description.

Security

Uses security-focused HTTP headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer Policy, and Permissions Policy.

Responsive Design

Designed to provide a consistent experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices with responsive layouts and navigation.

About Me

Building Software That Makes an Impact

I enjoy solving challenging problems through software engineering, with a focus on AI, backend systems, and scalable applications.

I'm a Computer Science student focused on building intelligent software that solves real-world problems. My work spans AI assistants, backend APIs, machine learning applications, and full-stack systems, with an emphasis on understanding how the pieces fit together and turning ideas into reliable software.

My professional experience has given me exposure to structured engineering environments, quality-focused workflows, technical documentation, and collaborative problem solving. Alongside that experience, I've continued building software projects that challenge me to apply what I've learned and develop stronger engineering skills.

I'm especially interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence, software architecture, and automation — building systems that are not only technically interesting, but useful, maintainable, and capable of evolving over time.
