I am a fourth-year Computer Engineering student finishing my bachelor's and preparing to move into professional work.
A selection of academic projects and personal work that show my technical focus while I finish my degree and get ready to enter the workforce.
Building a document Q&A tool using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), combining PDF text extraction, custom text chunking, and semantic embeddings. Indexing embeddings (Voyage AI) with FAISS for similarity search, grounding LLM (Claude) responses in source documents to prevent hallucination.
Engineered a real-time simulation of all eight planets, scaling orbital speeds using Kepler's Third Law. Modeled heliocentric positions with trigonometric functions and built event-driven planet selection to support a mission-planning workflow.
