I'm a student at Northeastern University majoring in CS and Linguistics. I've built large-scale, efficient software for my quantum photonics lab, for satellites, and for cloud computing startups. I'm looking for internships or co-ops in systems engineering, ML, and backend engineering.

My most recent project: I built https://github.com/tetraslam/SHFLA and won the MIT Media Lab hackathon + Harvard C House hackathon. It hit the front page of HN, and got me demo requests from Stephen Wolfram, Joscha Bach, and Suno AI.

the Force is with them

I'm so adding this in the next version!

yes 100% but the reply to your comment is very funny so I'll implement it in the next version :)

the project started as a shoegaze-specific language, hence the name!

understood, will rework it this week. Thanks for the feedback :)

Hi! I'm a college freshman at Northeastern, and this is my first hackathon project for a major hackathon (MIT Media Lab). It won the Unconventional Computing track prize, so I'm pretty happy! I made this because I'm a major conlanger, and I was wondering if it would be possible to think in terms of sound when looking at an image. Fractals have easy-to-map parameters, so I created SHFLA, a language which takes in music, and creates fractals based on 0.1 second (you can change this) chunks of music! It's Turing-complete, so you can technically encode a ridiculous amount of information and computation in my system, although writing it out as music might take a while.

Hope you find the project cool :)

Met them at an MIT event last week, they don't quantize any models.
