About

I'm a senior at Brown University studying Computer Science. I am interested in the field broadly, though I've worked on topics in privacy and analytics most recently. On the side, I can be found cosplaying as a food critic on Beli (@ben_k), struggling on a Brown Cycling team ride, and cheering on the Vancouver Canucks' tank.

Projects

minipilot

Python, ChromaDB, Instructor-XL, Flask, SQLite

repo
2nd place winner, 2025 Microsoft Global Intern Hackathon (Security)
Built solo against teams of 5-10 hackers. Zero-upload Copilot/Cursor implementation achieving theoretical minimum LLM context-sharing via local RAG architecture, exposing only relevant chunks (<1% of codebase) versus competitors' 100% upload. Maintains industry-standard sub-second query latency and complete data sovereignty.

shignal (sh*tty signal)

C++, CryptoPP, CMake, Docker

repo
Cryptographically secure group chat implementation with offline messaging, group structure hiding, and asynchronous two-sided authenticated KE with prekey bundling. Concurrency-safe forwarding server and manual implementations of AES encryption/decryption, HMAC tagging, signatures and certificates, and login/registration processes.

cf (c-french) language compiler

C, x86-64 Assembly, Make

repo
In-progress compiler that forms a minimal programming language meant to be written in French and with C-like syntax. Supports nested conditionals, scoping, variable assignment, error handling, arithmetic, and more. Written with custom tokenizer, recursive descent parser, AST generator, and Assembly code generator.
