VoteValue

Civic transparency platform · 2024 to present · Live at votevalue.co

Nonpartisan civic transparency platform built solo. A voter types in any U.S. address and the site returns a VoteValue Index (VVI) score for every legislative district that represents them (U.S. House, U.S. Senate, state Senate, state House). Each VVI breaks down into five weighted subscores: competitiveness (35%), mobilization potential (20%), district integrity (20%), electoral leverage (15%), and race significance (10%). Real-time geospatial computation across 163,000+ precincts in all 50 states, served via a Flask backend, Leaflet.js frontend, and a Postgres database on AWS.

Beyond scores, the site includes a community-driven Marketplace where users publish proposed redistricting maps and gather petition signatures that auto-generate constituent letters. There's also the Gerrymander Guesser, a short game where you pick which of two district shapes looks more gerrymandered. The picks aggregate into a community-derived ELO ranking per district that complements pure geometric compactness measures. Most gerrymandering education tools are dense and built for academics; the Guesser is a deliberate attempt to give a casual voter a meaningful entry point in under 30 seconds.

Demoed for 10 Virginia General Assembly offices on a bipartisan basis, Congressman James Walkinshaw's office (VA-11), the Governor's STEM Education Advisory Board (recognized on the General Assembly floor alongside other student STEM projects from across the Commonwealth), and Old Dominion University's Political Science Association. Multiple candidates across several states have registered accounts on the platform. Separately, direct meetings with candidates and campaign teams in Tennessee, Florida, and New York have informed product development, including feedback that led to a planned embed feature for campaign website integration. Featured publicly by state senator Bill Stanley (R-VA).

O-Seal

Climate infrastructure · 2024 to present · Provisional patent pending · Live at oseal.co

Autonomous in-pipe sealing system for pressurized water networks. Physics-informed AI for real-time leak detection and adaptive deployment. Designed to repair leaks without excavation at under $1K per deployment, versus $10-25K for standard excavation-based repair. Addresses 6 billion gallons of treated water lost daily in the United States.

Top 100 globally in the Blue Ocean Entrepreneur Competition (out of 4,800 teams from 173 countries); Team O-Seal's competition pitch is on YouTube. Led ideation and outreach efforts for the team; built with teammates Zoeb Izzi (TJHSST), Dhruv Miriyala (Chantilly HS), Hatim Ghadiali (Chantilly HS), and Tanish Reddy Gottimukkula (Langley HS) — all from Fairfax County Public Schools. Concept validated through technical discussions with engineering faculty at Duke Pratt, Washington State, and the University of Illinois.

Delivered a youth speaker session at the Right Here, Right Now Global Youth Climate Summit (June 5, 2026), co-hosted by University of Oxford Saïd Business School, University of Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Alliance, on AI-driven water infrastructure repair as a human rights mechanism.

SEIR-GA Gerrymandering Model

Computational political science · 2025 · Published research

Coupled ordinary differential equation system modeling gerrymandering's impact on voter turnout. Self-taught Fourier analysis to derive a Political Dominance function from 168 years of congressional records. Published in the GMU Journal of Student-Scientist Research. Presented at SIMIODE EXPO 2026 (international) and the International Mathematics and Statistics Student Research Symposium 2026 (200+ attendees, 20+ countries). SIMIODE EXPO featured speakers from MIT Physics, Brown Applied Mathematics, Williams College, Georgia Tech, the United States Military Academy (West Point), Auckland University of Technology, and Kuwait University; one of four high school students selected to present alongside university faculty.

Mentored by Prof. Padmanabhan Seshaiyer (GMU).
