A Gamified Go/No-Go Paradigm for the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit
BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE · UNITY / C#
At Baylor College of Medicine, I developed a gamified inhibitory control task in Unity and C# for neuroscience research with epilepsy patients. Because patients in clinical settings have different abilities, I developed adaptive difficulty that adjusted in real time to each participant's performance. I also added a points-and-lives system and score display to keep participants engaged. Watching patients lean in and grin as they earned points made the work feel real: something I had coded was now an experience people wanted to participate in. The project led to a first-author Society for Neuroscience abstract and contributed to my recognition as a Regeneron STS Scholar and ISEF Finalist.

The gym, the arena, and a new rabbit hole.

In the gym, daily
I train every day. It is the one non-negotiable on my calendar, and the most reliable reset I know between classes, code, and research.

I started in the beginner arenas and climbed to the top 1,000 players in the world, out of millions. It looks like a card game; it plays like real-time chess with elixir.

Poker, lately
My newest interest, and I am excited to keep learning it. The strategy, the probability, the decision-making under uncertainty: every hand is a small exercise in expected value.
