A collection of projects built to solve real-world problems and push my engineering depth. Each project captures a distinct challenge, technical stack, and learning curve.
bldr is a full-stack schedule builder for University of Kansas students that eliminates the pain of juggling multiple tabs and manually checking for time conflicts during course registration. By providing a visual calendar interface with real-time class search, seat availability indicators, and the ability to save multiple schedule variations, it directly reduces the stress and errors students face when planning each semester.
Headstart AI turns Canvas LMS assignments into structured study guides. A Chrome extension captures assignment context and sends it to a Next.js dashboard, which orchestrates streamed guide generation through a FastAPI agent built with LangChain and NVIDIA Llama-Nemotron. The pipeline handles PDFs with native extraction plus OCR fallback and returns structured markdown through SSE.
SafeChain is a decentralized emergency communication prototype that maintains connectivity during infrastructure failures. Through peer-to-peer messaging, local storage, IPFS, and blockchain logging, first responders can securely share critical information even when traditional networks collapse.
CodeLingo transforms C++ code into dynamic visual blocks to show line-by-line execution and live variable updates. It helps beginners understand control flow through interactive visualization, powered by a custom parser built in barebones Python.
