Agent Mahjong

I'm developing a Deep Reinforcement Learning agent to solve the 144-tile Mahjong 'Turtle' layout, utilizing a custom multi-channel CNN and Maskable PPO to navigate complex 3D spatial strategies. A core focus of the project is iterative reward engineering and behavioral auditing, where I'm using visual inference replays and variance metrics to debug the model and prevent 'reward hacking', ensuring the agent is developing true strategic logic rather than just finding loopholes in the scoring system. Code will be published on GitHub upon completion of data collection. (Last updated 5/1/2026)

Thesis - “Model-Agents of Change”

This project investigates an interdisciplinary framework for AI innovation, drawing from neuro-symbolic AI, psychology, and systems thinking. I developed a hybrid semantic search system that maps dual-process theory to technical architecture: using semantic embeddings for intuitive “System 1” retrieval and Answer Set Programming (ASP) for structured “System 2” logic. This prototype serves as a technical validation of interdisciplinary conceptual integration, demonstrating how a multi-agent approach can not only leverage the wisdom of other fields, but prioritize modularity and human-centric design over traditional metrics and raw optimization.

WCIW/D Website

During the global pandemic, I led a digital transformation for an international website by migrating its core infrastructure from a restrictive drag-and-drop page builder to a custom-built PHP WordPress plugin. This shift replaced manual workflows with an automated system for collecting and posting global event data, increasing efficiency by over 10x. The new architecture integrated a custom registration engine, a streamlined approval system, and data-driven dashboards for real-time registration insights. To ensure the platform's success on a global scale, I collaborated with an advisory board of creative professionals across six continents, delivering a scalable, high-performance solution that met the urgent demands of a rapidly changing landscape.
