Software Engineering + AI/ML | Data Science @ UC Berkeley | RISE Global Winner
- 🔭 Building TacticSquare for UAV coordination simulation and FireImpactology for wildfire exposure analysis.
- 🎯 Focus: multi-agent RL, stochastic combat models, graph optimization, remote sensing.
- 🛰 Working with Sentinel-2 and ERA5 data, downscaled climate projections and geospatial pipelines.
- 🇺🇦 From Ukraine; my projects span heat risk, wildfire exposure and UAV coordination.
- 📈 Kaggle: rank 5 of 564 in Store Sales forecasting, top 1% in Housing Prices, 40+ public notebooks.
- Waves (live demo) - FastAPI heatwave map for Ukraine with deterministic personal-risk scoring and Mistral-generated bilingual action plans under privacy and medical-safety guardrails.
- heat-risk-cuda - custom CUDA C++ kernels compiled at runtime with NVIDIA
cuda.core, verified for exact parity with NumPy and PyTorch references (171 GPU tests) and benchmarked on a Tesla T4: a shared-memory tiled kernel cut end-to-end time 2.2× and runs about 5× faster than the PyTorch baseline. - SwarmDAQ (live demo) - performance exchange for AI agents built at WeaveHacks 2025: agents bid on tasks, a market maker routes work to the best swarm, and reputation updates after every run, with W&B Weave tracing and Redis memory.
- LargeVCModel - Next.js + PostgreSQL platform for relationship search, company research, investor-fit scoring and secure Google integrations.
- TacticSquare - AI combat simulator for UAV coordination, route planning and attrition forecasts using RL, graph search and Bayesian Monte Carlo; field-tested in Ukraine with 10 divisions and backed by external funding.
- FireImpactology - wildfire analytics pipeline: MODIS/VIIRS/Sentinel-2 + ERA5 + Gaussian plume to map PM2.5/PM10 and health risk.
- Schmidt DSE Climate Pipeline - xarray and Dask workflows for downscaled CMIP6 analysis and National Park Service climate-risk maps at the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center for Data Science & Environment.
- DEMI - wearable prototype with gas sensors, microcontroller and CV backend that detects TVOC spikes and automatically triggers a deodorizing spray.
