Mental Health Data Visualizer (2025)
A pioneering mental health data platform developed for my GillingsXTed Talk on AI and Mental Health, integrating over 5,000 data points across demographic groups. The first visualization tool of its kind, it analyzes youth mental health disparities through interactive heatmaps. By combining prevalence rates, access barriers, and outcome data, it provides unprecedented insights into mental health patterns across gender, race, and geographic dimensions. Curated data from custom AI scraping agents, all cleaned and open sourced.
Ethan (2024-2025)
Designed, built, and scaled the largest AI-powered mental health companion for men in the U.S., integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with large language models to provide discreet, effective support. Now active in 31 states with approximately 1,200 users, it has helped alleviate demand on 988 suicide hotline centers. Developed adaptive chameleon models to mirror user language for improved relatability, leveraging distributed systems for seamless scalability.
Ocal (2025)
Founder of Ocal.ai, a B2B AI platform revolutionizing student productivity through intelligent scheduling. Ocal seamlessly integrates with Canvas, email, and other mediums to auto-import tasks, optimize study plans, and personalize routines. Each user is assigned an isolated AI model, ensuring full compliance with FERPA and COPPA for secure, data-driven academic success.
Carolina Startup Group VP (2025)
UNC Chapel Hill's premier startup group. Built website to recruit members, manage events, and share resources. Main recruitment website is a 4000+ line codebase that simulates a CLI. CSG connects select students and startups on campus to national companies, angel investors, and venture capitalists to help them grow.
Crosstime (2025)
Founder of Crosstime, the better scheduling platform; the 'trusted' scheduling platform for hundreds at UNC Chapel Hill's Kenan-Flagler School of Business. Crosstime is an MIT open-source meeting coordination tool that helps groups find the best time to meet across different timezones. Crosstime is a much more beautiful, responsive, and functional version of When2Meet.
RAAO Database (2024)
Led development of the nation's largest scalable database of local mental health providers. Pioneered the use of web scrapers to collect data from Google Maps and Yelp to create a database of 100k+ providers across the United States. Open domain, no-cost, and no-login required.
Mathematics Volunteer Undegraduate Teaching Assistant (2024)
Volunteer tutor for Calculus I-III at UNC Chapel Hill. Given my background in computer science, I use mathematics, code, and real-world topics to introduce ideas to students with code-oriented TA sessions with beneficial skills that are actually used in the job market with a quantitative finance / software engineering / machine learning focus.
High Frequency Machine Learning Trader (2024)
Led development of an incremental learning portfolio optimization project using mean variance optimization, Markowitz's Efficient Frontier, and Hidden Markov Chains under PI Dr. Ivan Cherednik. Presented at UNC Chapel Hill's Undergraduate Research Symposium in April 2024.
Personal Website (2023)
Built personal website with realtime Spotify cards, arduino-based computer vision for bookshelf view, AWS CDN integration, reverse-engineered iCloud components, and numerous AI/ML easter eggs.
Link Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) of Rochester, MN (2022-2023)
Conducted research through RAAO on underrepresented communities, socioeconomic barriers, and historical trends to establish a safe urban environment for all Rochester residents on behalf of RAAO. Collaborated with Darian Du to lead diversification efforts in Rochester, MN.
Contour (2022)
Founded Contour Developments, Inc. to enhance blockchain security and verification. Built high-frequency supervised feeds and migrated banks to Ethereum using Solidity smart contracts and a Python-driven backbone.
Independent AI/ML Research Projects (2022)
I developed AI models during an independent study under Mr. Eric Dirks at Mayo High School. I built a GPT-3.5 detection system using RoBERTa and Bayesian analysis. I designed a Bluetooth-only network tested over 1500 ft in 3D space and a PyTorch HMM to convert mouth movements into subtitles. My final project trained a generative language model in PyTorch with self-curated data to match early GPT-2 performance.
Siam's MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge (M3) (2022)
Worked with team of 4 (Cooper Gamble, Benjamin Erickson, Marc Zoghby, and Phillip Wisnewski) to top 19% among 650 submissions. Developed mathematical models to analyze global e-bike sales, assessing impact on carbon emissions, traffic congestion, and health, quantifying effects on reducing use of other transportation modes.
PWOTE, LLC. (2020-2022)
Founded and developed a CLI-based application used by 250+ users to automate buying sneakers. Reverse-engineered APIs, websites, and mobile apps of multi-billion dollar companies like Target, Yeezysupply, Footlocker, Nike, and many more. Open-sourced the first ReCAPTCHA v2 computer vision (PyTorch) solver. Wrote scalable APIs to handle 100,000+ requests per second.
