1. Ray Tracer
A C++ path tracer with both CPU and CUDA renderers. The project implements recursive ray scattering, antialiasing, gamma correction, depth-of-field camera controls, and multiple material types including diffuse, metal, and dielectric surfaces.
Tech: C++, CUDA, CURAND, Make, NVIDIA Nsight
A benchmark for parameter-efficient fine-tuning of a 7B language model on BBC XSum summarization. It compares LoRA and QLoRA across quality, training time, VRAM usage, and distributed training behavior.
Tech: Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LoRA, QLoRA, Accelerate
An autonomous hyperparameter tuning framework orchestrated with LangGraph. Parallel worker nodes tune individual neural-network hyperparameters while an LLM-powered coordinator analyzes results and decides whether to continue tuning or finalize training.
Tech: Python, LangGraph, PyTorch, Optuna, MLflow, OpenAI API
A minimal retrieval-augmented generation prototype built without high-level orchestration frameworks. It implements raw document parsing, chunking, embeddings, vector search, query rewriting, conversation memory, and response generation.
Tech: Python, ChromaDB, sentence-transformers, OpenAI API
A real-time American Sign Language to English translation tool built during York University's CTRL+HACK+DEL hackathon. It uses computer vision and machine learning to detect ASL gestures and convert them into English text.
Tech: Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe, TensorFlow, Flask
