About
I’m a first-year student at the University of Toronto, intending Mathematics + Computer Science.
Recently, I built the Apple Watch client for Providence at Hack the North. I’m also exploring how to test what agents actually do when tool calls fail or evidence is incomplete.
An evaluation harness that compares an agent’s proposed actions with the effects its tools actually produced, including partial failures and missing evidence.
Deterministic checks, resumable runs, and explicit unknown outcomes.

Personal experiment infrastructureA voice-controlled Mac assistant built with my team. I built the native Apple Watch client: hold-to-talk capture, request routing, and spoken-result playback.
Request IDs keep approvals and results attached to the right interaction.

My contribution: Apple Watch clientAn annotation-only garment-completion study, with calibration and missing-context tests. Methods and limits are documented.
A TypeScript CLI for running reviewer-selected checks and saving redacted evidence. Runs from source; not a sandbox.
A local scheduling prototype with independent constraint checks and coordinator approval. Uses synthetic data.
A synthetic WebMCP inbox where an agent prepares a plan and the owner decides. No messaging backend or send capability.
Three short walkthroughs. Each includes notes on what is released, illustrative, or built with sample data.
An iOS fitness product that turns physique and meal photos into structured reports, training plans, and progress tools.
Product walkthrough for the released iOS app. The report, plan, meal, and progress examples are illustrative and labeled in the video.

A missed-call recovery prototype with consent-aware follow-up logic, lead capture, and an owner dashboard; this walkthrough uses sample data.
This walkthrough uses sample data. Real-client messaging remains gated by sender, carrier, routing, and acceptance-test checks. The case study explains the implementation.

A released iOS wardrobe product for outfit feedback, digital closet organization, and saved looks.
The app is publicly available on the App Store. This video is an illustrative concept visualization, not a live screen recording.

Validation notesI’m interested in supervised research during the school year and software or research engineering internships for Summer 2027.
