I build AI gateway infrastructure.
I’m a software engineer at MathWorks, working on the LLM platform behind MATLAB, Simulink, and Polyspace Copilot.
Before MathWorks, I studied computer science and neuroscience at the University of Michigan and spent four years doing computational neuroscience research.
Projects
LeapCode
A technical interview platform where the candidate works through a real engineering problem together with an AI agent, instead of writing algorithms from memory on a whiteboard. Candidate and agent code runs in a Docker sandbox with no network access, dropped capabilities, and resource limits. The agent loop streams over SSE so the interviewer can see every tool call and how many tokens the candidate is using. Each problem has its own container image with pinned dependencies, and sessions are synced through server-side state with scoped JWTs.
NeoSearch
A distributed web search engine scaling past 100,000 pages. A Hadoop MapReduce pipeline computes TF-IDF across the crawl, combined with PageRank for result relevance, resolving queries in under a second. Deployed on AWS EC2 clusters with a React front end.
SideKick
A Chrome extension that takes notes during meetings using the Gemini API — winner of the Google Spotlight Award for Workplace Integration at the Google x MHacks hackathon (2024). It can follow up to five participants at once and keeps track of who is engaged and who is contributing what.
NeuroZIP
A Python package I wrote in my research lab for spike-sorting multiday electrophysiology recordings, which are usually too big to sort in a reasonable amount of time. It subsamples the recording using PCA/UMAP and k-means++/DBSCAN before sorting, so existing sorters run substantially faster without hurting accuracy. I presented it at the Society for Neuroscience conference in 2024.
University of Michigan Brain Bee
I started the UM Brain Bee, a neuroscience competition for Michigan high schoolers, and ran the first two of them. About 40 students helped organize and we drew over 250 attendees. The event is still held every year. I got into neuroscience because of a Brain Bee I competed in as a high school freshman, so this one matters to me.
