Trinity Chess Engine

Experimental chess engine to play around with bitboards and search algorithms

Reverse Engineering

I've also done some experiments reverse engineering auth-token generation (not maliciously, just for fun!)

About Me

I'm a computer science enthusiast who loves tinkering around with systems programming, compilers, and game development. I first discovered my passion for programming during the Covid-19 pandemic when I built a series of games with Unity and PyGame to keep myself busy.

During my time at Stuyvesant High School, I continued programming and led the school's First Tech Challenge robotics team to the world championships. I also volunteer mentored middle school students through The Metis Project for 2 years, teaching them programming fundamentals one-on-one. At the end of my junior year, I also landed an internship at Bloomberg, where I have been working for the past few summers on a variety of projects. I've learnt about distributed systems, telemetry, and how to handle production scale code.

At Stony Brook, I've again joined the Robotics team, where I have been able to learn more about ROS, embedded programming, and hardware communication protocols. I have also been working on a high performance system for indexing DNA databases with Prof. Michael Ferdman. I've continued my passion for teaching others as well, mentoring a group of students through building their own chess engine from scratch through the Stony Brook Computing Society's Project Quack.

Currently, I'm interested in a bunch of technologies, including Rust, Haskell, Typst, and Vim. On the non-cs side of things, I love playing chess and basketball, solving Rubik's cubes, and listening to music.
