Beyond the Frame: Engineering Human-AI Interaction
Master's Thesis — ongoing
If AI works best when embedded, the next question is whether it needs to be invoked at all. This thesis proposes a system that infers user intent from OS-level signals (eg. clipboard events, dwell patterns, application switching, document metadata) and surfaces contextually appropriate AI affordances before the user articulates a need.

When delay affects something that matters, drivers reach for their phone — not the car. Current in-car systems show route and ETA, but offer no support for the consequence of being late.
Grounded in five contextual interviews, this project explores how an in-car AI can use situational awareness to support drivers during time-critical journeys, without increasing distraction or breaking mental flow. Built as an interactive HMI simulation with scenario-based triggers.

GoFish!
Fun project back to my game desing roots: A stardew valley, low-bit styled game to play GoFish! with my long distance friends. Early state but you can already play with your friends as well.

Pre-Performance Companion
A grounding tool for the acute moments before presentations, interviews, and important meetings. Four short support modes for different stress responses — not stress prevention, but stress navigation.
