Projects

A showcase of things I've built: full-stack apps, a CUDA ray tracer, hackathon tools, and more.

Industrial Parts Listing Assistant

Full-stack tool that turns photos of an industrial part into a reviewable eBay listing: a vision-capable AI (pluggable between Kimi K2.6 and Claude) drafts the title, description, pricing, condition, and category, then a human edits everything before one confirmed click publishes it live. Multi-tenant by design — each seller authorizes their own eBay account via OAuth, with refresh tokens encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and hand-rolled, HMAC-signed sessions instead of an auth framework. Publish is idempotent, reusing the same SKU and offer ID on a retried attempt instead of creating duplicates.

NAVI — AI Dashboard Assistant

AI assistant that won 3rd place among 50+ teams at CodeRed Hackathon, consolidating email, calendar, and notifications into one dashboard. Architected a modular backend integration layer connecting Gmail, Google Calendar, and Outlook via OAuth 2.0 and the Microsoft Graph API, with custom token-refresh logic, MongoDB persistence, and an ElevenLabs-powered voice interface handling concurrent API streams.

Castle of Time

1st-place winner among 10 teams in a competition judged by ex-game-dev and industry professionals. A narrative 2D mystery game shipped with a 6-person team over 30 versioned releases via a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline. Implemented a branching dialogue system with memory persistence across time loops, and led a 3-person art team on the pixel-art pipeline.

CUDA Raytracing Engine

GPU-accelerated ray tracer that renders 1920×1080 scenes in under 3 seconds — a ~77× speedup (100s → 1.3s at 1080p/100spp) over the CPU version — using CUDA kernels, PBR techniques, and a device-only BVH for fast, memory-efficient intersections.
