Connect 4 AlphaZero

shipped

An AlphaZero-style connect 4 engine that learned entirely from self-play — a policy-value network guiding Monte Carlo tree search. The trained weights are exported to the browser, where a JavaScript reimplementation of the network and search plays every move.

Python PyTorch NumPy JavaScript

Reverse Turing Test

shipped

An ensemble that detects AI-generated text by combining three models that read the same passage differently — a fine-tuned transformer, a stylometric classifier, and a CNN that renders text as an image. Quantized to int8, the ensemble runs entirely client-side — the text you paste never leaves your browser.

NBA MVP predictor

shipped

A pipeline that learns two decades of NBA MVP ballots to predict the winner of the 2024–25 season. it models each player's share of the vote rather than the result, so it's scored on how it ranks the field.

Easy Code

in progress

A tool that makes unfamiliar codebases readable by indexing them twice — a vector store for semantic search, a graph for structure — then answering questions with citations to real file paths and line numbers.
