Portfolio · 2024 – 2026
Pierre Gathy.
I am a mechanical engineering undergraduate at Duke University, and incoming Analyst at Deloitte. My interests span engineering, data, finance, and space. Take a look around!
Kalshi–IBKR Arbitrage Engine
Production Go microservices scanning five arbitrage types between Kalshi event contracts and IBKR options in real time.
Polymarket Insider Trade Detection
Claude scheduled task running every two hours: scores trades, clusters wallets, and messages me on credible insider activity.
LLM-Adversarial Small-Cap Screener
Weekly pipeline: screen small caps, run opposing Bull and Bear Claude analysts, reconcile into a recommendation.
Polymarket–Kalshi Cross-Venue Arb
Cross-venue arbitrage strategy engine with shadow simulation and gated promotion to live trading.
Daycare Dog Identification System
Full-stack SaaS using YOLO + DogFaceNet embeddings to identify dogs by face at a daycare.
Portrait Batch Analyser
Desktop GUI: ML Kit straightens and crops each frame to a reference, TF-Lite embeddings sort by person, closed-eye shots flagged.
Lightroom Preset Extractor
Upload a reference photo, get back a Lightroom Classic .xmp preset approximating its look via an OpenAI Vision analysis.
Space Traffic Digital Twin
LEO conjunction-monitoring sim: J2 propagation, KDTree proximity, multi-method collision probability, Dash 3D dashboard. 1000+ sats at 1 Hz.
Constructal Law vs. the Cosmic Web (ME 438)
Final paper for ME 438 testing Bejan's constructal law against IllustrisTNG filaments. Topological match, geometric break.
Ballistic Gel Slicer (ME 424)
Duke capstone for U.S. Army DEVCOM. Team of four; I led the electronics and Arduino firmware — dual steppers and dual Hall-synced actuators.
Pump Support Structure (ME 321)
Team project: aluminum pump-mount support designed against a 12.5 lb pump and 200 N belt tension. Symbolic statics, FEA, and a prototype tested to 200 lb.
Pressure Vessel (ME 421)
Team project: 6061-T6 aluminum vessel holding 50–60 cc at 750 psig. Axial O-ring face seal, six #10-32 bolts, FEA-validated joint analysis.
Maglev PID Controller (ME 344)
Team project: modeled the nonlinear ball-magnet plant, linearized it, and tuned a PID in LabVIEW to hover and track a steel ball on the Feedback 33-210 rig.
Truss-Braced Wing Literature Review
Survey commissioned by a Duke professor on TBW aerodynamics, aeroelastic flutter challenges, and open MDO questions.
Austronesian Vocabulary Analysis
Pulled a 346K-lexeme comparative-linguistics dataset and built two interactive views over a 35-language slice.
