University of Michigan / 2021–2023
These are projects I worked on at Michigan, from editing images to building AR games. Each page explains what we tried, what I worked on, and how it turned out.
08 universityInteractive Segmented Style Transfer
I built an application for selecting an object in a photo and applying an artistic style to it. The selected area changes while the surrounding image stays the same.

SoundAround: Wearable Sound Localization
SoundAround is a wearable prototype that uses LEDs at the edge of the wearer's vision to show where a sound is coming from. A microphone array estimates the direction, and Python software chooses which lights to turn on.

ICA-SeFa: Interpretable Semantic Directions in GANs
This project explored how to change a feature such as hair color without changing several others. I helped implement ICA-SeFa, a method for finding these edits in a trained GAN, and ran its human evaluation.

XLNet for Verifiable Commonsense Reasoning
I adapted the TRIP reasoning pipeline to XLNet to test whether it could identify why a short story was physically impossible. The evaluation checked its story choice, the conflicting sentences, and the physical states behind the conflict.

3D Joint Estimation from Clothed Body Scans
I adapted my mentor's C# prototype into a Python desktop tool. It estimates joint positions from several views of a clothed body scan and exports the coordinates.

Maxwell Zuber and I recreated a university lab in Unreal Engine. We added classroom props and a piano that responds to a motion controller.

AR Tree-Planting Game
Ann Arbor Go is a phone game where players explore a map, plant virtual trees on nearby surfaces, and defend them from squirrels with acorns. Maxwell Zuber and I built it for our XR course.

AR Navigator
AR Navigator is a mobile prototype that points toward a selected object with an arrow, spatial sound, and vibration. I proposed the idea for people with vision impairments and built it with my course team in Unity.
Read about the projectMy work at AWS, a room I'm building for spatial interaction, an app I use for bouldering, and a small experiment on this site.
At AWS, I work on services that collect, store, and query system data, and the console engineers use to investigate problems.

What if a room's controls lived beside the things they belong to?
See the room take shapeAn iPhone app · 2026 – present
An iPhone app I built to keep bouldering videos, notes, and repeated attempts together. It's a place to remember what I tried and what I want to change on the next go.
A Raspberry Pi, a few sensors, and a question: did that signal actually get through? I'm building CareOps to make missing messages, device problems, and the next step easier to see.
An Enter button that dodges your mouse. You can still use the keyboard, touch, or a pen to get in. I built it as a small experiment about what happens when an interface gets in your way.
