PROJECTS

Real Time Linguistic NLP Translator with Interactive Game                                                                                                                                     Sept. 2024- June 2025

• Built a large-scale  real time translator that uses the principles of compilers and natural language processing to simulate growth in language learning. Created an interactive game to simulate real time learning in a language, gradually decreasing the amount of text that needs to be translated as language learning progresses. 

• Gameplay built with the Unity game engine and integrates Python, ML libraries, and C# scripts

• Wrote and published an academic research paper through Santa Clara University on the processes and design of the project and innovation in the interactive medium and games industry
