From research to running code.
Papers argue. Products have to work on a Tuesday, for someone who never read the paper. Resonaite taught me that the hard part of a signal-processing idea is rarely the idea: modulate audio the obvious way and it sounds like a hearing test, and seven stages of filtering stand between that and something a person would willingly listen to.
A student-run nonprofit, fiscally sponsored by Hack Club, that turns technical ideas into tools and programmes other students can actually use. I look after financial planning, sponsorships and operations — which in practice means budgets, compute costs, and making sure the money is there before the build starts.
A headset reads eight EEG bands once a second and the audio engine re-mixes the track in response, so the music changes while you are still hearing it. Seven stages of filtering keep it sounding like music instead of a test tone. I am project manager and full-stack developer.
Research prototype, not a medical device. No clinical validation, and nothing here is a therapeutic claim.
A smart garment designed around the thing wearables usually get wrong: the burden of wearing one. It senses on the garment and runs inference on the device, so it interrupts you only when a reading has actually changed. I directed strategy, market research and financial modelling, and delivered the pitch at the University of Delaware finals.
A career-technology startup. I run market and user research, build the partnership pipeline, and ship full-stack features into the production codebase.
HackHarvard was the earlier of the two and produced PoliScope. HackMIT follows in 2026.
