Developed as a first-year innovation project at the USC Iovine & Young Academy, Harmoniq is an AI-driven platform that transforms raw vocal recordings into polished, release-ready tracks. It addresses the complexity and high cost of traditional music-production tools while offering intuitive features such as real-time mastering feedback, genre-aware processing, personalized sound profiles, A/B comparisons, and transparent AI explanations.

The project included market analysis, a competitive landscape study, financial projections, and a freemium-based business model. I helped shape the concept, design features, and articulate the product vision as part of a collaborative multidisciplinary team.

Captain and lead coder for the Sidwell Friends Robotics Team. Competed in major regional and state tournaments and helped the team earn multiple top-four finishes, including a first-place victory in the MATE competition.

Advanced Python and machine learning practice through Breakout Mentors. Built creative programs including music-analysis tools based on algorithms and data patterns.
