What I'm Working On
MinePal
GPTJul 2024 – Present
MinePal is an AI companion that lives inside Minecraft — you can talk to it, play with it, and it actually understands the game. The flagship product of NemosAI.
70,000+ users across 100+ countries. Over 1 million views on YouTube. My full-time focus since July 2024.

Other things I've built along the way.
Locality Sensitive Hashing in BERT
AI/MLDec 2023
Transformer attention works by computing dot products between all token pairs to find which ones are semantically related — but most of…
College final project. Went from idea to paper in three days. Had zero expectations going in — the result genuinely surprised me.
Curta Ethereum CTF Contract
Web3Jan 2023
Contributor of an Ethereum-based capture-the-flag protocol with real-time contract event monitoring and frontend updates.
First exposure and proper work in Web3. Worked on smart contract, listeners for off-chain DB synchronization, and an end-to-end testing framework to verify everything from smart contract to DB to frontend was synchronized.
Notable
InstaLoRA
AI/MLMar 2024
InstaLoRA allows you to use your face in diffusion models with just two 3-second videos of your face. This was the winning project of IvyHacks 2024.
Built in one night, killer demo, hackathon winner.
StreamerAI
GPTAug 2023
An AI-driven virtual streamer platform built using ChatGPT API and OpenAI embeddings, enhanced with ByteDance's TTS.
Did impressive work to rev-eng Douyin livestream websocket API to fetch chat, but ByteDance's engineers were better and we kept getting banned.
Other Projects
PetFusion
AI/MLFeb 2024
PetFusion is an iOS app where you can use diffusion to inpaint your pets in a photo to anything you want, while preserving the key characteristics of your pet.
Self-hosting a production Stable Diffusion API with custom plugins like ControlNet was fun. Sadly we never launched.
SpaceTube
AR/VRMar 2024
SpaceTube is a spatial video social media built for the Vision Pro.
Cool that we were the first batch of developers for the visionOS. Launched and has some users, but team fell apart because the idea was obvious and not so exciting.
Earlier Work
Flappy Bird with DDQN
AI/MLDec 2022
We've hardened Flappy Bird with new challenges and trained a smarter AI using DDQN, achieving superior gameplay.
Resumate Platform
GPTMay 2023
A serverless web app leveraging AWS services and GPT-3 embeddings to connect candidates and recruiters efficiently.
Chirp
Web3Oct 2023
A fully decentralized Twitter-like platform built with Solidity, IPFS, and TheGraph for a censorship-resistant social media experience.
Background
Moved with parents to China right after.
Picked up Swift at 15 — camera apps, AR experiments, Swift Playgrounds. Won Apple's WWDC Scholarship in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2021.
Enrolled at NYU but spent freshman year at NYU Shanghai due to COVID. Interned at ByteDance as an engineering intern on the service mesh team.
Moved to New York after COVID restrictions lifted. BS in Computer Science, 3.94 GPA, Summa Cum Laude. Coursework ranged from deep learning and NLP to penetration testing and offensive security, plus robotics, computer networking, and cloud computing. Competed in ETH NYC, MIT Battlecode, and multiple LLM hackathons.
Engineering intern @ Data Delivery.
SDE intern @ Amazon Fresh.
Finished BS in Computer Science at NYU Tandon. Did CV research at AI4CE Lab using a CLIP-like approach for visual place recognition.
Moved to the Bay Area, started NemosAI in July. Building MinePal full-time since.
