Mining-Gym


Optimizing open-pit mines is tough due to constant equipment failures. I built Mining-Gym, an open-source sandbox using Reinforcement Learning to automate smarter truck scheduling. It bridges the gap between AI research and real-world efficiency.


Smart Crowdsourcing, Zero Burnout


I built FORGE to stop platforms from burning out their best people. It treats workers as smart agents, using physics-informed AI to hit peak results with just 7.6% utilization—keeping stars fresh while crushing the cold-start problem from day one.


CWM: Smarter Physical Feasibility Learning


CWM stop robots from attempting the impossible. Using contrastive learning and hard-mined negatives, it identifies subtly wrong actions that normal AI misses. It’s 7% better at physics-aware scoring and way safer under stress!
