Research Intern, Center for Quantum Information Physics, NYU
JAN – MAY 2025
Advised by Prof. Javad Shabani at the Center for Quantum Information Physics.
Built a hybrid classical–quantum neural network estimating six-year lung-cancer risk from a single low-dose CT scan (3D volume), using Qiskit and PyTorch.
Prioritized faster inference at acceptable predictive accuracy, rather than outperforming existing models such as Sybil.
Papers & Technical Writing
Coin-Flip Pricing in a Tournament-Winner Market: A Paired-Contract Trade on the 2026 IPL Champion
2026
Independent writing. Bayesian analysis of a mispriced tournament-winner market: coin-flip pricing (0.75 combined) against a 93.3% base rate for a top-two seed, exploited via a paired position returning ~27.7%.
Hybrid Quantum–Classical Neural Network — six-year lung-cancer risk estimation from a single low-dose CT scan. Qiskit, PyTorch.
Verified feasibility by over-fitting on a single image, given the exponential cost of operations on entangled qubits.
Used Qiskit to store model weights in qubits, later used for inference.
Stock Direction Prediction — fine-tuned FinBERT and LLMs feeding a Random Forest to forecast GameStop's price direction. FinBERT, Llama, Random Forest.
Fine-tuned FinBERT, BERT, Gemma-7B, and Llama-11B to extract sentiment from Reddit data.
Sentiment and other features fed a Random Forest; price data from Yahoo Finance. Accuracy 0.59.
QubitQuery — retrieval-augmented assistant over lecture notes, built to make office hours more productive. LangChain, FAISS, OpenAI.
LangChain splits lecture notes into chunks, embedded via the OpenAI API and stored in a FAISS vector database.
Similarity search retrieves the most relevant chunks, which feed an LLM through a terminal-based interface.
chromeControl — MCP-compliant Chrome sidebar for real-time page analysis and contextual AI assistance. TypeScript, React, MCP.
Privacy-first safeguards: local processing, sensitive-data filtering, and domain-based security tiers.
Squaris — procedurally-generated polycube packing puzzles over a single generation kernel (2D tiling + 3D lattice). React, TypeScript, Three.js.
Reverse-construction generator guarantees solvability, with date-seeded daily puzzles.
Cube rotation group generated as the closure of three 90° axis rotations — 24 orientations per polycube, verified via BFS.
Jest suite covering generator invariants and rotation-group completeness; deployed on Vercel.
Industry Experience — Applied AI
Founding Engineer, Starboard
OCT 2025 – PRESENT
Applied research in multi-agent systems: agents with tool use that autonomously process shipment tracking and reconcile data across logistics platforms; fine-tuned open-source LLMs for document parsing.
Designed web scrapers and data pipelines extracting structured shipment data from carrier portals — 95%+ accuracy on real-time tracking, plus automated invoice reconciliation.
Fine-tuned open-source LLMs for entity extraction and document parsing, cutting average processing time from 2.5 minutes to under 10 seconds per document.
Software Development Intern, Tiny Archives
SEP – DEC 2024
Backend archival systems for organizations and individuals, with a focus on scalability (Python, Django, PostgreSQL).
Improved scalability by optimizing system architecture and performance for increased user demand and data processing.
Software Development Engineer I, Finflux
NOV 2022 – JUL 2023
Built ELMS, an exposure and limit-management engine covering 35M+ customers, in the core Loan Management System.
Collaborated with backend engineers and joined client meetings to pin down and implement requirements.
Addressed Level 3 bugs, resolving production issues in the core Loan Management System (LMS).
Activities
Represented NYU in contract bridge (North American Bridge Championships, Philadelphia 2025) and in poker at the Intercollegiate Poker Association annual tournament, 2025. Member, SASE and IEEE.
