00 // Core Architecture

Engineering Overview

I'm a software engineering student who loves figuring out how complex systems work under the hood. I specialize in building low-level architecture and machine learning models entirely from first principles. Whether I'm writing core logic in C++ and Python, or building out interfaces with React and TypeScript, my focus is always on engineering clean, transparent, and highly optimized software.

My recent work includes CGPT++, a custom language model and tensor library engineered in pure C++ without external ML dependencies, and an intelligent Weather Agent orchestrated with LangGraph. I'm currently studying Computer Engineering at De Anza College, targeting a 2027 university transfer, and I am always looking for the next challenging engineering problem to tackle.

Python C++ Optics Simulation

Qapinn Thermo Optic

Co-developed with a research partner a thermo-optic phase shifter model using Quantum-Assisted PINNs (PyTorch, PennyLane) to solve static and transient heat equations, leading the quantum circuit design and physics/PDE modeling. By replacing classical neural layers with a two-qubit variational quantum circuit, the research utilizes Fourier analysis and spatial-temporal heatmaps to mathematically explain how entanglement impacts parameter efficiency and physical accuracy in photonic device simulations.
