Project Overview
OLTP/OLAP warehouse, a FastAPI quote engine, and a 0–100 viability score blending LCOE, payback, NPV, solar resource, and local market maturity.

Projects
☀️ Solar Viability Analysis
Address-to-financial-analysis for California rooftop solar — a 2.6M-row DuckDB warehouse, a 25-year cashflow model, and live NREL PVWatts + utility-rate detection across PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and municipal utilities. Built for DATA 201 at Cal Poly Humboldt.
City Reports
Deep-dive reports for the 15 largest CA cities plus Stanford & Berkeley — 25-year cashflows, payback curves, and utility-specific NEM 3.0 economics.
ZIP Heatmaps
Interactive viability maps across all 2,593 California ZIP codes, with confidence tiers drawn from real Berkeley Lab installation data.
AI & Machine Learning
Multi-Armed Bandit Agents
Exploring reinforcement learning through the classic multi-armed bandit problem.
The Speedy, Q-learning Crawler
A year of RL tuning reached only 42% of optimal — then a 2002 model-based algorithm (R-MAX) closed the gap to 100%.
NER with Viterbi HMM
Using Hidden Markov Models for natural language entity recognition.
Knowledge Source Scrapers
Three complementary Python scrapers forming the raw-sources layer of an LLM knowledge pipeline for cognitive science.
Wikipedia Scraper
Bounded BFS crawl with canonical page keys, SQLite graph store, and a 6-point soup validator. 834 outlinks from a single seed article.
SEP Scraper
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy: peer-reviewed concept backbone with hand-curated cross-references and a built-in query layer.
arXiv Scraper
Atom API metadata ingest with category-driven queries, PDF download, and text extraction across 35 CS subcategories.
