Three things hold my attention: AI, financial markets and education.
Nearly everything I’ve built, written or taught sits where they overlap.

— Our own Gies Chat model — post-training Qwen 3.5 into a tutor for business courses, so the model teaches the material the way the college does rather than answering like a generic assistant. Funded by a $5,000 research grant from Thinking Machines Lab. → model — Magelli Force — an operating system for the Magelli office: one place for staff to find, deliver and maintain client relationships. → live — Gies Chat — an open-source ChatGPT for Gies College of Business students. → live → code → demo — Azure migration — moved the college’s AI apps onto Azure and built the pipelines they ship on: container registries, model endpoints and staged deploys.+ the rest− fewer
— Magelli Scout, inside Force — finds sales leads for the experiential learning office, scored against the Magelli rubric, with email automation and analytics on top. — Slate — project intelligence across a project’s whole life: developers keep working in GitHub, while managers and stakeholders get readable updates on progress, blockers, risks and decisions. — Atlas — a visual map of the academic portfolio, using agentic graph reasoning to connect departments and the courses they teach. — Venture Voice — an AI venture simulation that puts students through customer discovery before they talk to a real customer, over video and voice. → live — Viva — an AI-native assessment platform where students show what they’ve learned through video, presentations and oral exams instead of another written test. → live — ProjectClaw — an internal project assistant that keeps track of work across departments and inside teams.
Founder & Lead AI Developer
Healthcare & edtech startups · Champaign & Chicago, IL
Software development and customer discovery, engagement by engagement.
2025–26
+ what I built− less
— Founded an agentic CRM for customer relationships and workflows, plus an AI deployment platform for server infrastructure and production systems. — Built a healthcare AI eval pipeline measuring medical-document accuracy, source grounding and hallucination risk for a Chicago health startup. — Shipped an LLM-powered language-learning app for an edtech startup: personalized learning and user interaction.
Agentic AI Intern
North Oil Company · Doha, QA
LangGraph framework automating oil well-test analysis; RAG retrieval tuned for hallucination-free engineering advice.
2025
+ what I built− less
— A multi-agent system in LangGraph that reads well-test data — bottom-hole pressure, oil and water production, water-to-oil cut — and recommends which production zones to keep open or shut in. — A planner splits the work after the pressure analysis, then specialist agents study oil trends, water cut and efficiency in parallel before a summariser reconciles them into one zone-by-zone call. — Tiered memory: runtime state in-process, semantic recall in a vector store, past evaluations and agent messages in a document store. — An evaluation harness scoring agent recommendations against engineer-labelled ground truth, so changes to the graph could be measured rather than argued about.
Graduate Research & Teaching Assistant
Gies College of Business, UIUC · with Prof. Vishal Sachdev
Researching and building tools that help students actually learn with AI, rather than hand the work to it — and TA’ing the course where they write the code.
2025
+ what I built & taught− less
— TA for BADM 350, business technology — debugging students’ code with them, getting them building agents in Codex, and teaching the software concepts underneath it all. — Managed the consulting projects for the supply-chain and business-consulting courses — student teams working with real clients on real business problems, from scoping through delivery. — Researched drip learning — whether course material lands better delivered in small daily doses than in one sitting. — Built BADM Bot on the OpenClaw architecture to test it: a daily bot that drips one piece of the course to students and tracks what sticks, reaching them on WhatsApp instead of the LMS. → writeup — Built MindForum — an AI brainstorming tool that keeps a human in the loop rather than handing back a finished answer. → live → code
Founder & President
Agentic AI @ UIUC · 500+ members
Built UIUC’s first agentic-AI club: lectures, hackathons, 30+ open-source projects.
2025–26
+ what I led− less
— Landed the club’s partnership with Optiver, its first industry partner. — Led the lecture series alongside an exec — technical AI, agentic systems, Claude Code and the OpenClaw workshops. — Built and led a technical exec team of five. — Owned the club’s project portfolio: hosting and maintaining open-source work built internally and with outside collaborators.Selected projects

Catches phantom tables pre-execution. 2nd place, hardest track at Berkeley’s AgentX–AgentBeats.
python / sqlglot / duckdb / sqlalchemy / flask / docker
ARC Capital
personal project
A macro hedge fund that runs 24/7: agents trade off fundamental and alternative data — Fed speeches, X and prediction markets — instead of waiting for a desk to open.
python / langgraph / typescript / react / docker
Resrv
client project · solo · under 3 weeks
Built and delivered to the stakeholders on my own, start to finish. Autonomous lab booking with human-in-the-loop overrides; 100+ users on demo day.

FocusTabs
personal project
Chrome extension that reads your open tabs against what you’re working on, suggests what to close, and archives everything so nothing is lost.
javascript / typescript / chrome mv3 / llm api
NexusAI
Keywords AI (YC W24) hackathon · 24 hours
Company knowledge scattered across GitHub, Jira and Slack, pulled into one queryable system. Graph traversal plus embeddings — more grounded than either alone — answered by voice or chat, with a team-analytics view on top.
python / typescript / graph + embeddings
Super Ralph
personal project
An autonomous agentic loop for Claude Code: it decomposes a request into tasks, writes strict tests first, implements with fresh sub-agents, debugs itself cold when stuck, and logs what it learned from every run.

SonicScout
personal project
An AI-native venture analyst: onboard a fund’s thesis once, hand it a startup URL, and five specialist agents return an investment memo in about 90 seconds — pass, watch, take the meeting, or invest.

MedAgent
IEEE SIEDS 2026 · peer-reviewed
Health search with citations, confidence scores, and stated uncertainty.
