πŸ† 2ND PLACE OVERALL β€” ELIXIR 2026 2026

Touchless Hand Gesture Interaction System

Built a touchless desktop interaction system that translates camera-tracked hand and finger landmarks into real-time cursor navigation and click commands. Implemented an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) smoothing filter to eliminate coordinate jitter, achieving responsive 60 FPS tracking with sub-30ms latency.

BROWSER EXTENSION 2026

Always-Active Media (Chrome & Firefox)

Engineered an open-source browser extension preventing video platforms (Coursera, Udemy, Canvas) from auto-pausing playback on tab switch or window blur. Injected surgical scripts into the MAIN execution context to override Document.prototype visibility properties without interfering with site inputs or notifications.
