A bit about me

I'm Sanat, a CS Engineering and Math student at the University of Michigan. Lately I mostly build AI systems for work where a wrong answer carries a cost: federal disaster resilience, supply chain risk, regulated domains where a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer. That kind of work pushes you toward the same habits. Cite the source behind an answer, refuse when the sources do not cover the question, and hold up when no one is checking the output. I do the disaster resilience work as a volunteer and help lead MSAIL. I studied abroad in Paris for a semester, and I travel when I can.

A few things I’ve built

Hackathon · Civic Tech

Tend

Award: 1st place, Capital One, MHacks 2026

A privacy-first web app that helps sexual assault survivors in all 50 states and DC claim crime victim compensation. I turned 2,728 verified rules from 824 legal sources into bytecode run by a C++ engine compiled to WebAssembly, so bank statements and bills are read on the device and every dollar cites the exact law. It flags hospital charges the law says a victim can't be billed for and pays the rest through Capital One's Nessie API after a confirm code. Built in 24 hours and extended since; a Python reference engine agreed with it on 121,000 test claims with 0 mismatches.

Competition · AI Agents

Speedrun Clinic Agent

Award: 1st place, Speedrun by Scope, Michigan Startup Week 2026

An AI agent, shipped as a Docker image, that works a queue of back-office tasks in a synthetic clinic web app. In the contest, a wrong answer cost a point and a skip was worth zero, so the agent skips any task the evidence doesn't settle.

Hackathon · AI Systems

ORBIT

A full-stack AI knowledge management system that models understanding as a living graph and deploys 5 autonomous walker agents to traverse it. Built in under 24 hours at JacHacks 2026. Honorable Mention + 1-year product sponsorship.

Bayesian ML · Education

ProfInsight

A professor analysis platform that scrapes RateMyProfessors data and runs it through three Bayesian ML models I built from scratch in pure Python. Covers 29 universities, 3,000+ professors, and 100K+ reviews. No sklearn, no LLM APIs.

Simulation · Supply Chain Risk

Supply Chain Hazard Risk Simulator

A deterministic supply chain disruption simulator driven by live federal hazard feeds, with a grounded AI briefing layer. No language model touches the numbers; the AI layer only summarizes structured output and has to cite evidence for every claim or stay silent. 3,259 lines across 20 Python modules, 64 test functions.

Airport Thermal Survey

A Landsat surface-temperature pipeline over nine US airfields, built as part of my volunteer disaster resilience work. Apron surfaces run 24 to 43°F above the airport's own reported air temperature at the same satellite overpass. Dependency-free vanilla JS frontend, no mapping library.

Web · University of Michigan

MSAIL Website

The official site for the Michigan Student Artificial Intelligence Lab, rebuilt end to end. The part worth pointing at is the Canvas particle system: an O(N) counting sort that took the hot path from 20 to 25 ms down to about 1 ms at 57.6k particles, plus a 50 ms main-thread stall traced and frame-sliced away.

ScholarTrace

A VS Code extension and web dashboard that tracks how students write code. The extension silently snapshots every file edit, and professors can review full coding timelines through a class-based dashboard with real auth and access control.

Awards and outcomes

Speedrun by Scope

Scope Health · Michigan Startup Week, October 2026

1st of 29 finalists

My agent was 5th going into the hidden final set (924 tasks in 60 minutes, for a synthetic clinic no team had seen) and finished 1st. It scored 291 on that set, where no other finalist scored above 211.

Capital One · University of Michigan

1st place, Capital One

Built Tend in 24 hours: a privacy-first web app that helps sexual assault survivors in all 50 states and DC claim crime victim compensation, with every dollar tied to the exact law. It now runs 2,728 rules on the device with a C++ engine compiled to WebAssembly, and a Python reference engine agreed with it on 121,000 test claims with 0 mismatches.
