01 about

I'm a CS and math student at UT Austin. Two summers at HPE — compliance tooling the first, an agentic workflow for vulnerability detection and remediation this one. Before that, deep learning research on code analysis at UT Dallas, and before that, my first internship in high school.

Mostly I like learning how things work, and building tools I'd actually want to use. That's why the work below leans toward systems and tooling instead of apps.

When I'm not coding, I'm usually playing basketball or disc golf, spending time with friends and family, or driving back home to Cypress, Texas.

Talk to your codebase.

A terminal companion that helps you build a mental model of a codebase — by voice or text — and turns the decisions you reach into well-scoped GitHub issues a coding agent can pick up without back-and-forth.

Large codebases, especially AI-generated ones, are hard to hold in your head. Waypoint points at a repo, builds a structural map with tree-sitter, and answers questions grounded in it. When a conversation converges on "we should build X," it drafts the issue.

It doesn't write code. It's the layer between human understanding and machine execution.

grounded q&a over a real tree-sitter structural map
push-to-talk voice i/o (ctrl+r), local or cloud backends
interactive feature graph at three levels of detail
conversation to structured issue, with a preview step
multi-provider llm routing via litellm
sessions persist per-repo in sqlite
