Projects

The "Pocket Coach" Engine (Biomechanics & AI)

Developed a real-time motion analysis prototype using Python and WebRTC (aiortc/aiohttp) for peer-to-peer media streaming. Implemented dynamic muscle layering and force vector dynamics (joint reaction, tension, and compression) to visualize and analyze movement mechanics. Designing an educational JIT pedagogy engine that utilizes recursive tree traversal of Notion databases to map human knowledge gaps and deliver micro-syllabi.

Python WebRTC aiortc OpenSim Notion API
Network Simulator & System Monitor

Built a distributed C/C++ CLI application for real-time system introspection (CPU/Network/Storage) with custom logging for distributed processes. Virtualized networking stacks (Link to Application layer) and implemented complex job scheduling policies using Python and React.

C/C++ Python React Systems
