POLITE, int8 inference accelerator (Rev Silicon)
Sep 2026 to present
Joined Rev Silicon, the Texas A&M first-chip tapeout effort. I am designing POLITE, a 4x4 int8 matrix unit for Tiny Tapeout, with a cycle-accurate C golden model and matching SystemVerilog RTL. The pad-clock target is 66 MHz (15.15 ns) for STA and the pin budget, not a measured clock. At that target the chip takes 2 bytes in per beat, 132000000 bytes/s.

GenDiff, research with Prof. Krishna Narayanan
Jan 2026 to May 2026
Ongoing exploratory research with Prof. Krishna Narayanan, January through May 2026. GenDiff transmits a prompt, a seed, and a diff so the receiver can regenerate the text and apply the diff. Still an open question, not a finished result.

NASA Lunabotics, command and data handling (TAMU SEDS)
Sep 2025 to present
Joined the SEDS Lunabotics CDH subteam, which handles command and data handling for the robot in the NASA Lunabotics competition.
IMM Research tooling
May 2025 to Aug 2025
Foreclosure lists and deed records are scraped and matched on cause number. The post-deed pipeline checks CAD and runs financials, and a queue worker downloads Re:SearchTX court documents. Opening a case only prefills fields and attaches those files. AI proposes document buckets for a person to review before extraction, and defendant names are copied onto the tree without contact details. Skip-trace dumps are uploaded by the researcher. Comparator, the later platform, is a separate entry.
