About

I'm a student studying Computer Engineering & Statistics at UIUC, constantly learning how math and code can come together to solve real-world problems.

I've built sentiment-analysis pipelines, explored 3D graphics research in Unreal Engine, and prototyped fraud-call detectors using NLP.

Outside of programming, you'll find me watching UFC fights, playing soccer and basketball with friends, or relaxing to some Bossa Nova.

MRI Classification Model

Built a deep learning pipeline in PyTorch for brain MRI classification and tumor segmentation, integrating 2D/3D CNNs with advanced loss functions. Added uncertainty estimation (MC Dropout) and explainability (Grad-CAM) to highlight suspicious regions. Achieved 89% classification accuracy and 90% segmentation accuracy on a dataset of 3,200+ MRIs using Python, NumPy, and scikit-learn for preprocessing and evaluation.
