Explored with 3 other teammates different model-free reinforcement learning algorithms. Through the use of Open AI Gym's custom car racing library, we trained various reinforcement learning algorithms to control a car to drive through a racetrack by taking images of each frame and using the pixels of the image as an input to determine the car's next move.

To dive into the basics of machine learning, my partner and I explored how the genetic algorithm worked and applied it to play a game of snake. The end result was a battle-royale-style snake game, each one using a genetic-algorithm-trained neural network to fight to the death. To show that we could apply what we learned to not just snake, we also trained a neural network to play the arcade game Atari Breakout as well.

Motivated from both a need for a personal website and a desire to learn the web framework Astro, I built a website entirely with Astro (with the exception of the occasional React components).

For a research project in NiemaLab, I worked on SamBamViz Visualizer with a partner to create a webapp that would take in a tsv file from Professor Moshiri's SamBamViz tool alongside an optional reference FASTA file and would generate an interactable bar graph that would visualize the data. Customizability options for color, y-axis, and range were included to make it as friendly as possible for all users.

For my AI research internship at CrossLabs, I created an experiment that tested various methods for large language models (LLMs) to play Wikirace, a game where you get from one Wikipedia page to another by clicking only the links on the current page. 4 methods of interacting LLMs were tested against a singular LLm and a traditional graph-search algorithm to see how well it worked. In the end, the experiment was a success, and the interacting LLMs proved to be better at completing the task than a singular LLM.

For my CSE 110 class on software engineering, we were put in groups of 10 people to create a fortune telling app. I designed and drew half of the assets, wrote most of the CI/CD, wrote unit and end-to-end tests, helped format the CSS, and streamlined the app to be a single-page application for a smoother result.
