Résumé ↗ CV ↗- Ann Arbor, MI May 2026 – Present
Jaseci Labs
Software Engineering Intern
- Engineering a domain-specialized coding agent for the Jac language, fine-tuning Gemma 4 26B with Unsloth and 4-bit QLoRA on an object-spatial superset of Python where general-purpose models have no usable priors.
- Architecting a multi-recipe synthetic-data pipeline (Python to Jac translation, adversarial DPO negatives, evol-instruct, self-distillation) targeting 300k+ examples behind a compiler and unit-test hard-gate.
- Designing a four-stage training curriculum across core SFT, debugging and reasoning, DPO alignment, and multi-turn agentic data to lock in idiomatic walker, node, and edge constructs and prevent Python-pattern fallback.

Projects
-
Jac ML Studio
A full-stack local ML workbench and research pipeline for finetuning LLMs on Jac (Jaseci Labs' object-spatial programming language), pairing a synthetic-data SFT/DPO/GRPO training pipeline (MLX, LoRA, Qwen3-Coder-30B) with a pure-Jac web app — server endpoints and a React-in-Jac client from one codebase — for chatting with trained models, running training jobs, and tracking evals.
-
NASA SUITS Challenge
AI Lead for CLAWS UM's NASA SUITS entry. Autonomous lunar-EVA navigation with A*/Jump Point Search over a 3-layer occupancy grid, 17-ray LiDAR fusion, and RSSI trilateration; PyTorch obstacle detection (temporal ResidualBeamCNN, BEV cross-attention transformer) behind a hot-swappable inference framework; and a voice pipeline streaming 16 kHz audio over WebSocket to faster-whisper and a neural intent classifier.
-
Inferno
Scalable backend service for hosting and serving ML models via REST APIs using Flask, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and Docker.
-
NightShift
An unattended nightly automation harness that syncs a Jaseci fork, runs deterministic lint/format passes, then dispatches Claude agent sessions to audit and apply small verified fixes/refactors before opening PRs, orchestrated via bash, launchd, and native Jac scripts.
-
Domain Portfolio Manager
An AI chat agent that manages your domain portfolio and DNS through natural language. Add domains, run bulk DNS updates, and query history—powered by Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, and Workflows.
-
MK-OSINT
A real-time geospatial intelligence platform that plots live public feeds (military aircraft transponders, the ISS, USGS earthquakes, Safecast radiation sensors, airport control zones) on a CesiumJS 3D globe with toggleable layers, entity history, and CRT/night-vision/FLIR filters. A TypeScript backend runs a declarative ingestion engine: each source is one YAML file (fetch, parse JSON/GeoJSON/XML/CSV, map fields), polled with retry/backoff, stored in SQLite, and pushed over WebSocket with an OpenAPI-documented REST API. Also ships as a spec-driven AI-agent workshop kit, including an agent skill that turns any public data URL into a source definition.
