Bio

Hello, I am currently a software Engineer at Scale AI and I graduated from Columbia with a degree in Computer Science. I love to solve problems and create tools that are easy to use. Recently I have been working on a web app which allows users to learn and execute algorithm trading on crypto currencies without having any coding knowledge. I have also created a web app which allows users to compete with friends and strangers in fitness competitions. Outside of work, I love to play video games like Smash Bros, Mario Cart, Overwatch, and more. I also love running and working out.

Project ideas

Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.

Auto Caption Images with Computer Vision Model

By training a CV model to be able to associate parts of an image with words, and training an NLP model to string together words in a sentence, we can create a python program which will auto caption images with a sentence that is relevant to the image.

Prove blockchain security

Blockchain is an emerging idea / technology that is often said to be the most secure way to store digital assets. In this project, you can prove its security with mathematical proofs as well as investigate different blockchains.
