Hey 👋 my name is
Karolina Dubiel
I'm a Georgia Tech Computer Science major with concentrations in Cybersecurity and Human-Centered Computing. My interests lie in cybersecurity, robotics, embedded software, and reinforcement learning. Outside of academics/work, I love hiking, solo travel, sushi, and coffee/matcha.
I've previously interned at:
I have too many projects to list all of them here, but here are some of the ones I'm most proud of. The rest are on my Github.
Fault-Tolerant RL Octocopter
I built a custom flat octocopter from scratch with 0 prior hardware experience — from idea to flying drone in 2.5 weeks. CAD in Fusion 360, CNC-milling the full airframe from G10 fiberglass and carbon fiber, and soldering all the electronics. My end goal: an RL-based controller that sustains flight through single and dual motor failures in sim, deployed zero-shot.
Build Progress
UCLA LAHacks '26: Aeromaxx
Quantifies how aerodynamic you are. Extracts body measurements from a photo with MediaPipe, reconstructs a 3D model via Meshy AI, and renders real-time airflow with a custom GLSL CFD shader. Uses Gemma AI to rank drag-reduction interventions by predicted impact.
Stanford TreeHacks '25: HackTCHA
An AI security testbed that benchmarks CAPTCHA robustness by testing solve rates of leading vision-language models (GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0, Mistral Pixtral), and applies novel obfuscation techniques including Diff-CAPTCHA (diffusion model + UNet) to harden CAPTCHAs while preserving human solvability.
HackUPC '25: Travelero Tralala
Solo traveled to Barcelona to build an AI-powered travel coordination platform. Optimizes international meetup locations by computing cost matrices across multi-leg flight routes using Skyscanner API data, with a collaborative Qwen LLM agent and PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy backend.
Hack the North '24: APICasso
At Canada's largest hackathon, built a web scraping tool that converts any website into a structured REST API using Cohere's LLM. Handles dynamic content via custom Chrome drivers and Selenium, with Redis caching and Supabase backend for persistent endpoint storage.
Leaves: Infinite LinkedIn Queens
An infinite clone of the LinkedIn Queens puzzle built with Next.js and React. Custom N-Queens solver with randomized backtracking and dynamic color region generation creates unlimited unique puzzles. Real-time validation and multiple color palette themes.
Impact Hack '23: Particle Visualization
A live air pollutant particle visualization tool for any area in the world using Particle.JS and the OpenWeatherMap API, winning among 300+ other hackers.
