About Me
I'm a college sophomore from Boston passionate about constructing efficient high-end software for the open-source community. I currently study Computer Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, where I'm taking courses in data structures, algorithms, and computer organization. You may find me online as PulseBeat02.
I currently intern at VideoLAN, where I work on the famous VLC media player that has been downloaded over 6 billion times, as well as other open-source projects sponsored by VideoLabs. I contribute to bring new cool features to the ecosystem, like integrating computer vision and machine learning into media playback with SAM2 to segment objects and draw faces in real-time.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing clarinet in my university orchestra and wind ensemble, and develop my own open-source projects.

Projects
A cross-platform multimedia framework (~100 stars) for building Java media applications. Integrates with VLC and mpv for fast, native media playback alongside a self-written avcodec player. Uses OpenCV for fast image processing, and contains several other built-in modules, such as an HTTP player that uses Javalin to play audio through a web interface.
Java bindings for libmpv, the media player library used by mpv. Provides a native interface to access media player features like control, playback, and rendering.
A Bukkit gamemode for Minecraft servers with over 30k lines of code. Inspired by Dead by Daylight, it contains several features like 100+ gadgets and abilities, easy map creation, and so much more. Uses Hibernate ORM to store maps and configurations.
