The Messenger Between Atoms & Agents

I build multi-agent systems that design real, physical things — text-to-CAD assemblies, verified glider wings, benchmarks for AI-generated geometry — and the harnesses that keep those agents honest.

Memory

What the agent remembers about its operator.

Hermes carried messages between worlds. I carry them between geometry and language — turning what someone means into something that can be machined, flown, or shipped.

I'm a first-year Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Virginia. My research sits where large language models meet physical design: I score AI-generated CAD for BenchCAD, generate and verify glider parts for an early-stage generative-design startup, and build Mirum, a multi-agent pipeline that turns a sentence into a parametric assembly.

On weekends I ship. Two hackathon wins this fall, a 38k-line orchestration harness that runs Codex, Claude Code and OpenCode side by side, and a habit of writing far more tests than anyone asked for.

Dispatches

Things I've built and delivered.

Personal project · Sept 2026 – present

XVANT

Multi-agent orchestration harness

Runs Codex, Claude Code and OpenCode agents in parallel, each on its own isolated Git worktree, with a durable runtime that survives crashes and hand-offs.

  • 1,000+ tests
  • ~38k lines
  • TypeScript

Independent research · Mar 2026 – present

Mirum

Think it. Have it. — text to CAD assemblies

A multi-agent Gemini pipeline that turns plain text into parametric B-Rep CAD assemblies. Fine-tuned Qwen2.5-Coder-7B with LoRA on ABC CAD data to lift valid output from 48% to 78%.

SignLine

ASL-to-caption video calls

A signer's signs become editable captions while the hearing caller's speech is live-captioned. MediaPipe hand landmarks are classified on-device; user-taught signs and fingerspelling grow the vocabulary.

Speak Up

Impromptu debate trainer

Grades spoken arguments against a research-based rubric. The AI analyzes the speech; deterministic code computes the score — so feedback stays consistent and explainable.

Nebius × NVIDIA Global AI Hackathon · Oct 2026

Intent

Idea → requirement-traced build plan

Turns a rough software idea into a cited, requirement-traced brief that coding agents can actually execute, powered by NVIDIA Nemotron on Nebius Token Factory.

Hackathon build · Oct 2026

Venn

Let's find a time, together.

Account-free group scheduling with private calendar overlays. Gemini parses the ask; deterministic code checks free/busy, applies buffers, handles DST, and ranks the windows.

Side project · 2026

Pixie

An AI cursor companion for Windows

Lives on your screen, points at things, and draws on top of whatever you're doing — an agent with a body instead of a chat box.

Claude Code mod · 2026

model-router

Cheapest model that fits, then escalate

Routes each subagent to the smallest model that can do the job, with structured junior-to-senior escalation hand-offs when the task turns out harder than it looked.

Where agents meet atoms.

  1. 01 BenchCAD 2.0 Benchmark for programmatic CAD Oct 2026 – now

    Undergraduate Researcher · Prof. Cheng Peng, UVA School of Data Science

    A multi-university benchmark scoring AI-generated CAD — v1.0 was used in Anthropic's system card. I'm designing assembly-level scoring for hole alignment and part interference, going beyond per-part voxel IoU.

  2. 02 Verified AI Generative Design Glider parts in PicoGK Oct 2026 – now

    Intern · early-stage startup founded by Prof. Stephen Baek

    I generate parametric glider parts for a pipeline that verifies AI-generated designs before STEP export. Built 12 wing variants — polyhedral wings led on stability checks and calculated glide ratio (11.9 vs. 10.8 tapered). That's the wing spinning at the top of this page.
