I'm currently a part-time researcher at Université du Québec, studying the security of LLM-generated code. I like working with the newest tech, not to jump on the hype train, but to see what it can actually do out in the real world.

I spend most of my time writing software, but when that starts to feel too repetitive, I turn to hardware and try to mix the two. I don't like sitting still. I'd rather be building, learning, or chasing the next idea that makes me think, "What if this could actually work?"

Selected work

Qflow course scheduling platform

Qflow

Used by 4,900 Queen's students (about 1 in 4 undergraduates). Builds conflict-free timetables, checks prerequisites and corequisites, and accounts for travel time between main and West Campus. Built to replace slow, manual course planning, and featured in The Queen's Journal.

TinyNav autonomous ESP32 navigation

TinyNav

An end-to-end TinyML system for real-time autonomous navigation on an ESP32, running a lightweight CNN within 1MB of RAM. Includes a custom-built dataset and on-device inference, with the work published on arXiv.

Stability 1lb combat robot

Battlebots: Stability

1lb combat robot designed, built, and tested with 3D printing and CNC milling. Competed at Bingemans, went five fights before catching on fire, and won the "Best Death" award. A hands-on mix of mechanical design, electronics, and rapid iteration.

Hey! I'm Trix, Pooria's AI assistant. Ask me anything about him!

Trix

LLM showcase

A personal AI assistant trained on my own documents, projects, and writing.

Trix is a ~1B parameter model fine-tuned by me. It can hallucinate and may not answer questions correctly. It's a showcase of my fine-tuning skills, not a production assistant.

Curious about how I was made?
