I led our team at YC’s conversational AI hackathon to build an offline AI assistant for factory operators. Put on a pair of Meta Ray-Ban glasses, talk through a problem, and get help right there. We took home “Most interesting project”!

I spent TreeHacks building a model that follows what you play and scores the musical tension of 5,104 chords in real time. That became part of ChromaChord, and we left Stanford with 3rd place overall and 1st place in the Suno sponsor prize!

At Mitra Chem, I built an AI coding pipeline that picks up Jira tickets and works through the code, review, and testing, cutting on-call turnaround time by 70%. I also built mc-goggles: smart glasses you can talk to for hands-free help in the lab.

I spent the summer in Jakarta building and shipping AI chatbots for MAP and Ultrajaya. I connected them to the information they needed so they could tackle tricky workflows with fewer made-up answers, while keeping replies under half a second.

I built Ekko.sg as an AI grader for A-level economics essays. Students could drop in an essay and get fast, useful feedback, and at one point it grew to around 60 subscriptions.

I founded asklassie.com to help dog owners get clearer answers when their dog is acting up. It works like an AI assistant for dog problems, turning messy stories, clips, and context into practical next steps.

I headed to Taiwan to represent NUS at the Asia Business Planning Competition (ABPC) at National Tsing Hua University. A chance to take business planning beyond the classroom and into a competition!
