Selected Work
Distributed Remote Code Execution Engine
↗ githubFault-tolerant system for sandboxed execution of untrusted code. Reduced median latency 99% (2.6s → 24ms) via async I/O and connection pooling. Secured with Rootless Podman, network air-gapping, and custom Seccomp profiles.
Vision Transformer for Audio Classification
↗ githubAdapted a pre-trained ViT for audio spectrogram classification on UrbanSound8K, achieving 71.2% accuracy without audio-specific pretraining. Trained on NVIDIA A100 GPUs via Slurm on MSU's HPC cluster.
