Grounded RAG Fact-Checker

Jun 2026 - Aug 2026

A fact-checker for U.S. immigration and tax law that cannot answer from memory. It retrieves from a fixed corpus of 2,229 statutes and regulations (14,726 structure-aware chunks) and returns a verdict with the exact provisions it relied on, then re-checks every quoted span by string comparison rather than asking a model. Runs entirely on a laptop against a local 8B model. Grounding lifted verdict accuracy from 0.164 to 0.534 and cut residual hallucination from 1.000 to 0.303 across 73 hand-labeled claims.

2026 World Cup Prediction System

May 2026 - Jul 2026

Elo and bivariate Poisson models trained on 49,378 international matches, with a Transfermarkt squad-value adjustment and 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations of the bracket. My own bracket and the model's were both locked and timestamped before the first match. The model picked Spain and I picked France — Spain won. Over the group stage it hit 62.5% outcome accuracy at a live log loss of 0.893, within 0.003 of its held-out test loss.

Multi-Stage Brain Tumor Classification

Jan 2025 - May 2025

Developed a deep learning model using CNN architecture with TensorFlow/Keras that classifies brain tumors with 97.3% test accuracy. Implemented batch normalization, dropout regularization, and advanced data augmentation techniques. Published in two Springer conference proceedings: ICNSBT 2025 (LNNS vol. 1405) and ICRTC 2025 (LNNS vol. 1906).
