mustel
Static analysis tool for AI coding agents. Runs Ruff, Bandit, and pip-audit with 21 custom YAML rules to catch issues before they reach the LLM. Cuts token usage by ~45%.
rollit
Rolling window statistics for NumPy arrays, without pulling in pandas. Fast zero-copy calculations with memory-safe array boundary validations.
Driftwood
Stateless Monte Carlo simulation API for stock price paths, built on Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM). Generates 1,000 price paths in milliseconds with percentile envelopes.
-d '{"ticker":"AAPL","days":30,"simulations":500}'
lazy footers
Bulk footer stamper for student PDFs and DOCX files. Upload up to 10 files, set the footer text, and download a ZIP. All processing happens in memory.
squeezy
Image compressor and PDF merger built with Flask. Compresses images up to 95% smaller using Pillow, processes everything in memory, and serves downloads via temporary UUID tokens.
experience
- Working on Project Terminus-2nd-Edition by Snorkel AI, contributing to frontier models as a task reviewer and submitter.
- Evaluating full task submissions and environments (Docker, verifier reports, rubrics) before making Accept / Needs Revision decisions.
- Identifying critical issues like hidden answer leakage, non-canonical base images, invalid scoring, and runtime network dependency risks.
- Writing clear, actionable reviewer feedback on instruction clarity, test alignment, and overall task compliance.
- Working on a web portal for AI literacy training for college professors.
- Managing releases, version control, and deployment pipelines.
- Built Next.js routes and internal Python CLI tools for code verification.
- Built a static analysis tool that runs Ruff, Bandit, and pip-audit for AI coding agents.
- Published on PyPI — 5,000+ downloads.
- Added an MCP server so agents like Claude and Gemini can run analyses directly.
- Built an LLM-based product scraper that reduced manual competitor review time from 4 hours to 1 hour.
- Created a Streamlit + Google Sheets dashboard for tracking intern workloads across the team.
- Evaluated 50+ AI tools for internal product decisions.
- Designed and launched a vetted curation platform for 100% free courses, certifications, and career roadmaps from Google, Harvard, Cisco, and IBM.
- Created interactive in-browser coding Spaces (e.g. Python — Zero to Production) and compilers that compile and execute code 100% client-side with 0ms server latency.
- Grew the platform organically to 90,000+ pageviews and successfully featured it on Product Hunt.
