Project Highlights

01

Limnexa — Evidence-to-Action Freshwater Monitoring

IEEE Global Hackathon 2026

Built a real-time environmental evidence system with immutable revisions, multidimensional validation, deterministic policy rules, provenance tracing, adaptive monitoring, offline field capture, H3 stream-reach modeling, FHIR interoperability, transactional workflows, and bounded AI for extraction, explanation, and media triage.

02

THE PIT — Real-Time Market Manipulation Detection

MHacks 2026 · Backend & Integration lead

Built and integrated the backend for a live synthetic exchange with autonomous traders, price-time matching, risk controls, spoofing surveillance, evidence-backed citations, and adversarial evaluation. Detected the baseline spoofer across 171/171 held-out market paths while cutting median order latency from 15.3 ms to 1.3 ms.

03

ArenaForge — Autonomous Strategy Testing & Optimization

Florent Code League 2026

Built a fully local experimentation system that generated, compiled, and parallel-tested autonomous bot variants across controlled maps and seeds. Candidates passed progressively harder evaluation stages before facing the incumbent champion, while a local Qwen3.5-9B model proposed new strategies from prior results.

04

Dossier — Vehicle & Marine Ownership Cost Modeling

OpenAI Hackathon 2026

Built an open-source TypeScript decision engine for vehicle and marine ownership costs, combining AI-assisted listing extraction with deterministic financial models for depreciation, financing, operating costs, uncertainty, and scenario analysis. Cars and boats use separate engines with shared schemas, versioning, and reporting contracts.

05

SveaShield Fusion — Counter-UAS Sensor Fusion

Drone Defence Hackathon 2026 Winner · Team & Architecture Lead

Led architecture and integration for a winning counter-UAS sensor-fusion platform combining heterogeneous detections into confidence-aware threat assessment and operator decision support. Designed the system to surface evidence quality, uncertainty, prioritization, and situational context for airport and critical-infrastructure defense.

What I Strive For

Leadership

Set direction, create ownership, and build the conditions for people to do their best work together.

Systems Architecture

Understand the whole before optimizing the parts, with clear interfaces, explicit trade-offs, and resilience built in.

Grounded by Experience

Stay close to implementation, where assumptions meet constraints and good judgement is earned through practice.
