AIGIS: Open-Source AI Governance CLI

6,000+ downloads on npm and PyPI, endorsed by a former Washington Post CTO. An open-source command-line tool that compiles a natural-language project description into a deterministic AI governance brief, mapping it against NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, and ISO/IEC 42001 with byte-identical output and overclaim detection. Built on Agent-Computer Interface research: governance content structured for AI coding agents first, humans second.

Anticipate: Predictive Urban Safety System (NVIDIA Spark Hack NYC 2026)

~1.1s end-to-end video-to-risk-score latency, fully on-device: no video ever leaves the machine. Predictive anomaly detection built in 24 hours on an NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10 Grace Blackwell) using Meta's V-JEPA 2 as a frozen encoder with a custom attentive probe head (4.86M params), ingesting live HLS streams from NYC DOT traffic cameras. I owned the ML pipeline and backend engineering: encoder wrapper, probe architecture, training loop, FastAPI + WebSocket orchestration, and stream ingestion. Team repo.

DeepScout: Search-Grounded AI Browser Agent

Frontier-level web reasoning distilled into two locally served 3B models (~6 GB to ~1.7 GB via NVFP4 quantization-aware training). An end-to-end agentic browser agent (one model for query generation, one for evidence reasoning) covering the full LLM lifecycle: teacher distillation, QLoRA fine-tuning, GRPO reinforcement learning with rule-based rewards, and vLLM multi-LoRA GPU serving, wired into a Chrome extension that produces cited answers from live web results.
