Active work and what's open.

Updated May 2026, the week I graduate from American High School.

Building

QAgent and FlowPR — a tester / triage / fixer / verifier loop that browses real web apps, reproduces UI regressions in Browserbase, patches the source, verifies the fix in a fresh session, and opens a pull request with the evidence packet.

Latest win

First place at the Cognee AI-Memory Hackathon (March 2026) for FairValue, a multiplayer real-estate prediction market with an LMSR market maker — built with Sean Chiu.

Heading to

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, August 2026 — Information Sciences, Data Science, and Computer Science. Class of 2030.

Open to

Summer 2026 internships in agent infrastructure, developer tools, or public-interest software. Email is fastest — rishabh.rb@icloud.com.

      Five projects, in detail.

      Curated, not exhaustive. Each shipped publicly, won at a hackathon, or led to a paper. The remaining eight are listed below.

      Disaster mesh network · Alameda Hacks 2025

      AnchorMesh

      Built with Jerry Wen and Aditya Das at Alameda Hacks 2025, selected first place out of 900+ submissions. A mobile-first emergency system that turns ordinary phones into Bluetooth Low-Energy SOS relays — when LTE coverage fails, a trapped survivor can still ping responders through the nearest unbroken device.

      We reverse-engineered BLE mesh propagation to route SOS packets across hop counts and relay chains, then surfaced everything to a responder dashboard: priority alerts, live hop traces, relay-chain provenance, and a map triage view.

      Self-healing QA agent · WeaveHacks 2026

      QAgent

      Four cooperating agents — Tester, Triage, Fixer, Verifier — that browse a real web application, identify UI regressions, apply a code fix, verify the patch holds in a fresh Browserbase session, and emit a signed evidence packet. Won Best Use of Browserbase at WeaveHacks 2026.

      An agent that does work in the browser rather than describing it. The unified private build extends the public hackathon repo with local-first execution, signed packages, run benchmarks, and a governance layer for reviewing what an agent shipped.

      Finalist · Ship to Prod AWS 2026
      Agentic frontend repair · Ship to Prod AWS 2026

      FlowPR

      A frontend QA agent that opens a real application, walks through a critical user flow, captures the failure as evidence, diagnoses the regression, patches the source, verifies the fix in a fresh run, and opens a pull request with the proof packet attached. Finalist at the Ship to Prod AWS Hackathon 2026.

      FlowPR is QAgent shaped as a product: a command center, a worker loop, run detail pages, health gates, and a dashboard that lets a reviewer ship or kill an agent's output in one glance. Backed by Redis streams for run fan-out and InsForge for storage.

      Real-estate prediction market · Cognee 2026

      FairValue

      Built with Sean Chiu at the Cognee AI-Memory Hackathon (March 2026), first place. A multiplayer market where players trade Over / Under appraisals on real listings against a Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule market maker — with QR-code room joins, live odds, leaderboards, and Qdrant-backed contextual memory.

      An exercise in market design: how do you elicit private beliefs about price, score them under uncertainty, and let a social game emerge from the math? The LMSR pricing function does the heavy lifting; WebSocket room state carries the multiplayer feel.

      COSITE 2025 paper · patent Dec 2024 — Oct 2025
      Assistive hardware research · Dec 2024 — Oct 2025

      SmartCane

      Ten months of research on an Arduino-driven assistive cane for users with low vision. Ultrasonic obstacle sensing on the front edge, IMU-based fall detection in the handle, thermoelectric LEDs for low-light visibility, and a paired Android caregiver app over Bluetooth HC-05 that streams fall alerts and live position to family.

      The portfolio's anchor outside web software — embedded systems, mobile Bluetooth pairing, sensor fusion, safety research. Written up for COSITE 2025 (Communication Systems & Information Technology) and filed as a provisional utility patent.

      05 About

      A short biography.

      I'm Rishabh Bansal. I'm eighteen, graduating from American High School in Fremont, California in May 2026, and starting at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign this August — Information Sciences, Data Science, and Computer Science.

      The work clusters in three places. Agent systems that do real browser work — QAgent, FlowPR, RePro, MasterBuild, and ImmiFile, won at WeaveHacks, Cognee, and the YC Browser Use Hackathon. Civic and public-interest software — AnchorMesh (first place at Alameda Hacks against 900+ submissions) and two years at Hey, Blue!, where I shipped verification, map data, and iOS distribution serving 500+ community connections across 14 states.

      And applied research — SmartCane, ten months of embedded work that became a COSITE 2025 paper and a provisional utility patent, and won first place at both Stem4All and the Alameda County Science & Engineering Fair.

      I prefer to ship things rather than describe them. When I write, it's usually a README.

      Let's talk.
