Bangin’ Everything At Tufts (BEATs) Permalink
Every Wednesday night in an otherwise-empty basement on the Tufts University campus, a group of students gathers with assorted garbage––buckets, water jugs, trash cans, street signs––to create rhythmic masterpieces. This group is BEATs, Tufts’ oldest and only all-gender street percussion ensemble. I joined in my first semester at Tufts, and by my Sophomore year I had become the BEATs President, a.k.a “Prez”. This was a 1-year position, and one of my first leadership opportunities at Tufts.

On The Porch
A mobile-first web app for exploring public safety data in Dorchester’s Talbot Norfolk Triangle (TNT) neighborhood through chat interaction with a large language model and a dynamic neighborhood map. Aims to help the TNT community better understand and share their experiences with public safety by combining community voices with official city data.
Movie Recommendation System
Built a recommendation system to guess user ratings for unseen movies. First attempted a Collaborative Filtering approach, then improved performance with an open-ended ensemble solution, motivated by the famous SVD algorithm.
Classifying Reading-Level Difficulty from Text
Trained a binary classifier to predict age suitability of text excerpts with 70% AUROC accuracy. First attempted a Bag of Words feature representation, then improved performance with our open-ended solution.
Theatre at First Inventory Web App
A full-stack inventory management system for a local non-profit theatre, developed alongside a 10-person agile development team. Work was organized under JumboCode’s pro bono software development service.

TA - CS11 - Introduction to Computer Science
Undergraduate course, Tufts University, Department of Computer Science, Jan 2024 - Dec 2024
I spent a year as a Teaching Assistant for CS-11, which gave me the opportunity to reinforce foundational CS concepts by teaching them to other students. Working with hundreds of first-time coders really improved my ability to explain complicated ideas in a digestible and memorable way.
TA - CS40 - Machine Structure and Assembly Language Programming
Undergraduate course, Tufts University, Department of Computer Science, Jan 2025 - Present
I am currently a Teaching Assistant for CS-40, which is focused on machine architecture and data representations at a low level. This is often considered the most challenging course in the department, and it has been a privilege to work with such a committed and collaborate course staff to support the hundreds of students that take CS-40 each year.
