World Model demo · A real street, reimagined in 1925

AI & Spatial Computing01

Century Pano

Turn today’s panoramas into imagined scenes from another era, compare past and present, and step inside explorable 3D worlds. Built with our team at HackCMU 2026.

Inside the project: Century Pano

Start with a phone panorama, an uploaded photo, or a location in Google Street View, then choose an era to reimagine the scene.
Compare past and present from the same viewpoint with an interactive panorama viewer.
Explore generated 3D environments with World Labs Marble. The demo pairs my walk on a real street with a pre-generated 1925 world.

SwiftUIFastAPISupabaseSwift Concurrency

Inside the project: Rhythm

Built a voice-first iOS task manager with SwiftUI and MVVM, supporting natural-language speech capture and a flexible planning workflow.
Architected a modular Python/FastAPI backend with separate API, tool-runtime, service, and repository layers for structured task creation, context retrieval, and status updates.
Designed Supabase/PostgreSQL infrastructure with Row Level Security, JWT authentication, and RESTful APIs for user data isolation.
Built background synchronization with conflict resolution, retries, and network monitoring, enabling 100% offline functionality and automatic reconciliation on reconnect.
Used Swift Concurrency, AppIntents, and Apple Speech APIs for responsive voice interaction, background work, and Siri-triggered capture.

Inside the project: E3 Mini-Benchmark

Designed a benchmarking framework for small language models centered on the Efficiency–Energy–Effectiveness triad.
Implemented LoRA parameter-efficient continuous pretraining and fine-tuning with architecture-specific target modules, reducing trainable parameters to 2.4% and GPU memory by 80%.
Engineered a hardware-aware inference engine measuring TTFT, TBT, throughput, and VRAM, with an nvidia-smi power monitor for energy-per-token metrics.
Built an automated evaluation suite combining SuperGLUE fine-tuning for classification and Seq2Seq heads with MMLU few-shot tasks.
Compared encoder-only, decoder-only, and encoder–decoder architectures across performance, speed, and energy consumption.

Raft Distributed Log

A fault-tolerant log replication system in Go, designed to keep distributed nodes in agreement through crashes and network partitions.

Raftleader election · replication · fault recovery

GoDistributed SystemsRPCConsensus

Inside the project: Raft Distributed Log

Implemented a fault-tolerant Raft consensus module in Go with leader election, randomized election timeouts, heartbeats, and term-based state transitions.
Built log replication and commitment using RequestVote and AppendEntries RPCs, per-follower replication state, majority-based commit advancement, and ordered ApplyMsg delivery.
Validated correctness under leader crashes, follower disconnections, network partitions, delayed/reordered/dropped RPCs, concurrent client commands, and rejoining nodes with inconsistent logs.
