    RRender.ai

    Live

    An AI creative platform that turns natural-language prompts into motion graphics, 3D Blender renders, narrated animations, and editable designs. Built with React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Remotion, Blender, and FFmpeg — with OAuth/OTP auth, Stripe billing, PostgreSQL/Prisma, AI orchestration, and Railway deployment.

    GuardCMD

    Live

    Abuse protection for apps and AI agents. It scores signups, logins, AI generations, and agent tool calls from 0 to 100 and returns allow / challenge / throttle / review / block. It ships as an SDK, an MCP server, and a coding-agent skill that wires protection in for you.

    Smart Schedule Hub SmartCal

    Live

    An AI-powered calendar and scheduling app with iCal integration, a self-hosted small language model for smart planning, and per-user data storage — running on my own Railway infrastructure.

  • Mobile Outfits App

    WIP

    Mobile app with a wardrobe to store clothing pieces online. Build and store outfits manually or use AI suggestions. Includes AI to generate a Pinterest-board style image or dress up an AI avatar to preview how you'd look.

Video AI pipeline

A set of Python tools I built for turning long-form video into short-form content.

  • ClipGenius

    Takes a YouTube URL or upload and auto-generates 20–40s highlight clips with burned-in captions, using Whisper and an embeddings-based viral similarity engine.

    • Next.js
    • FastAPI
    • Whisper
    • OpenAI Embeddings
    • FFmpeg
  • Transcription

    A modular feature-extraction pipeline: transcripts, loudness, silence, speech rate, pitch, overtalk, and face presence, all time-aligned for highlight scoring.

    • Python
    • OpenAI
    • FFmpeg
    • OpenCV
  • Dynamic-Facial-Framing

    Converts horizontal video to 9:16 with face tracking and smoothed dynamic crops, plus blur, gameplay, and cover layouts.

    • Python
    • MediaPipe
    • OpenCV
    • FFmpeg
  • AutoCaptions

    Progressive 1–3 word captions with rate-aware chunking and dynamic "wow word" styling. Reads SRT, VTT, and ASS files.

    • Python
    • MoviePy

Featured builds

Side projects across mobile, agents, data and campus life.

  • FitBuilder

    Build outfits from your own wardrobe. Snap a garment and it becomes a clean ghost-mannequin render, auto-tagged by AI. Compose fits, try them on your own photo, and generate multi-view style frames. One codebase ships iOS, Android, and web.

    • TypeScript
    • Express
    • Postgres
    • OpenAI
    • fal.ai
  • repomind

    A context compiler for AI coding agents. It compiles a codebase into an adaptive k-ary context tree with O(1) hash indexes and hot/warm/cold memory, so agents fetch compact 5–12 node context packets instead of re-scanning the repo. It includes a 3D WebGL viewer.

    • TypeScript
    • ts-morph
    • Node.js
    • WebGL
    • Vitest
  • PolymarketSearcher

    Tracks the open positions of Polymarket's top ~100 traders and surfaces what the smart money agrees on. Given a bankroll, it generates an AI-built spread of trades validated against live web search, shown on a command-center dashboard. It has zero npm dependencies.

    • Node.js
    • JavaScript
    • Polymarket API
    • LLM
  • BoilerMarketplace

    A campus marketplace for Purdue students to buy and sell textbooks, furniture, tickets, and electronics. It has auth, listings, chat, and favorites, and runs on the web, iOS, and Android via Capacitor.

Human Writing

A writing skill for Claude and other assistants.

  • HumanWriting

    It edits prose so the page reads as one person thinking about one subject for one reader. It checks the facts first, then the shape of the reasoning, then sentence rhythm, and gets to vocabulary last.
