AI Student & Systems Developer
I'm a second-year AI student focused on building useful software, from command-line tools to small games and practical tools.

A lightweight terminal music player for Windows inspired by cmus. Features a modular architecture, fuzzy search with intelligent filtering, vim-style navigation and configurable keybindings, fast metadata caching, multi-format audio support (MP3/FLAC/OGG), an Inno Setup installer and versioned releases.
Python CLI Tool Systems Programming
A small 2D endless runner built with Godot. It was a good exercise in pacing, player feedback and game feel, all wrapped into a polished and playful experience that keeps players coming back.
Godot Game Development
I'm a second-year AI student who likes building complete, practical software instead of stopping at prototypes. I enjoy the point where systems engineering, applied ML and product thinking overlap.
Right now I'm leaning into Python and C++ for the technical depth, while improving how I design, package and present projects. I want to keep getting better at writing software that is clear, maintainable and actually pleasant to use.
I'm especially interested in ML for bioinformatics and animal welfare. The problems I want to work on sit at the edge of research and engineering: data pipelines, evaluation, small deployable demos and tools that can be trusted by real users.
Second year. Building a base in AI, systems and software engineering while keeping projects ship-ready.
Python, C++, Linux, Git, Godot and small end-to-end demos.
Looking for internship opportunities and collaborations where I can contribute, learn and build practical tools with a scientific angle.
Have a project in mind or just want to talk systems?
