MajorComputer Science

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Florida with interests in full-stack development, computer graphics, and game development.

I enjoy building projects that combine strong engineering fundamentals to solve important problems.

Outside the classroom, I help lead technical training in the UF Software Engineering Club, where I mentor trainees and build programs that help students grow as developers.

Built and currently developing chesstwin.net, a chess analysis website using Next.js, React, Node.js, and Supabase. Integrated Stockfish WebAssembly directly in the browser with configurable analysis settings and MultiPV support to show variation lines with per-move evaluations. Implemented similarity matching using cosine similarity over precomputed vectors stored in Supabase/Postgres to identify strategically similar grandmaster games efficiently.
