I LIKE BUILDING SYSTEMS
FOR BIG IDEAS.
Some of my more fun
work.
Four systems spanning security research, production infrastructure, health AI, and open source.
Agentic Coding Reliability · NSF Cybersecurity-Funded
An NSF-funded study of whether software written by LLM coding agents is actually safe to ship. I rebuilt a classic UNIX reliability fuzzer into faster research tooling, tested a 12-program corpus of utilities including grep, make, and ptx, and root-caused real memory-safety and denial-of-service bugs.
- 12 programs · grep, make, ptx + more
- 4× faster evaluation tooling
- 10+ source defects investigated
- uutils ptx · 29× faster · 19% less peak memory
CS 220 Learning Infrastructure
I led the production systems behind CS 220 for 900+ students: scaled an AI tutor to 20K+ requests on peak days at 5× lower LLM cost, closed a root-level autograder RCE, and built observability that cut incident response time by 80% with zero-downtime releases.
- 900+ students · 20K+ peak requests/day
- 5× lower LLM cost
- 80% faster incident response
- Root-level RCE closed
Textish
A Python library that serves any Textual app over SSH through a custom terminal driver, with isolated app instances coordinated on one asynchronous event loop.
- 96× lower memory
- 4.3× faster startup
- 4 PyPI releases
- Load-hardened SSH service
Awaaz-e-Sehat
A React Native mobile app deployed in hospitals for seven months, using Whisper fine-tuned with LoRA on local Urdu speech to create structured records and surface dangerous maternal-health conditions.
- React Native · 500+ records
- 96% accuracy
- 60% less documentation time
- 7%→40% detection · 300+ alerts
Mandatory degree
acquisition.
Formal study spanning computer systems, databases, artificial intelligence, and production engineering.
