Public repositories and selected private work spanning ERCOT forecasting, Houston property value prediction, reinforcement learning, publishing systems, Java mod development, and research computing workflows.
University of Houston, Sen Receptorology Lab
Dec 2023 - Sep 2025
Managed Linux/HPC research infrastructure across NAS/NFS-backed lab systems, user accounts, access controls, environment modules, RHEL/AlmaLinux workstations, GPU-accelerated scientific software, NVIDIA drivers, CUDA toolkits, and OpenCV automation for cryo-EM sample preparation robots.
University of Houston, ITECH STEM & BioTECH Camps
Jun 2019 - Jul 2025
Supported computing, 3D printing, and biotechnology programs; led CAD, slicing, additive manufacturing, molecular docking, software troubleshooting, lab tooling, and curriculum iteration across multiple summer cohorts.
Reinforcement learning
Deep RL Lunar LanderDeveloped and compared REINFORCE, entropy-regularized Actor-Critic, DQN, and Actor-Critic-guided DQN agents for LunarLander-v2.
Built deterministic seeding, resumable checkpoints, and seed-sweep tooling for reproducible RL experimentation. Achieved up to 148 best 100-episode average reward with Actor-Critic and 254 with DQN across seed sweeps; strongest peak performance came from Actor-Critic-guided DQN.
Machine learning
ERCOT Load ForecastingBuilt a 24-hour-ahead forecasting pipeline using ERCOT load data and weather from 8 zone proxy locations.
LightGBM achieved R2 0.861, RMSE 3816, and MAPE 4.77% on the 2025 holdout year.
Regression modeling
Houston Property Value PredictionCompared Linear Regression, Random Forest, and LightGBM on Houston housing data.
The best model achieved R2 0.791 with RMSE 149,491 after trimming the top 1% of price and area outliers.
Full-stack AI product
fortune.tipsBuilt and deployed a full-stack Next.js app integrating OpenAI-generated tarot readings, motion-triggered interactions, and Server Actions.
Server Actions support streamlined frontend-backend workflows.
Commissioned web platform
Developing a commissioned text-first publishing platform with role-based access, draft editing and publishing flows, tags, stars, and relational schema design.
Implemented core auth, user/profile, permission, and standalone publishing systems, with publication workflows and moderation/reporting still in progress.
Java game systems
Minecraft Mod DevelopmentDesigned and released Minecraft mods with 366K+ combined downloads across Modrinth and CurseForge.
Built custom item, block, entity, and gameplay systems, including configuration-driven music behavior and event-driven gameplay hooks. Published and maintained multi-version releases across Fabric and Forge mod loaders, iterating on compatibility fixes and gameplay updates.
