Student Research Demo

LAZULIQ 1.2 PHOTON

A Fine-Tuned Large Language Model

A student research demo I built to understand how language models really work. I took an open-weight 3.1B model and fine-tuned it for a steadier tone, sharper reasoning and better recall, then added StartumRAG so it can pull in facts offline. It is a demo rather than a product, so expect it to get things wrong.

Rino Personal Assistant

2018–2021 Legacy project

Rino Personal Assistant was an Android voice assistant featuring Text-to-Speech and Speech-to-Text capabilities. Utilizing Firebase for real-time data, it integrated with online services to provide weather, news, and smart home control. The app achieved over 1,500 installs on Google Play. Note: This project is no longer developed.

AI-Augmented Workflow

I approach development with an AI-first mindset, using a custom workflow built for speed and clarity. By letting advanced LLMs handle the repetitive syntax, I work more on high-level logic, product feel, and delivering robust solutions faster than traditional workflows allow. If you'd like to know more about my custom LLM development framework and workflow, please feel free to contact me.
