I'm a first-generation college student heading into a Computer Science and Math double major at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I like understanding systems from the bottom up — whether that means writing a chess engine's search from scratch, pushing thousands of instanced particles through raw OpenGL, or fine-tuning a model on MRI scans. If it's low-level, uncertain, or a little too ambitious for a weekend, I probably want to build it.

From-scratch engine in Java A full chess engine built from the ground up: FEN parsing, legal move generation, alpha-beta search with Zobrist hashing and a transposition table, null-move pruning, and a tapered evaluation on piece-square tables — verified against perft to make sure the move generator never lies.

Real-time graphics with LWJGL A real-time particle simulator rendering thousands of spheres through instanced rendering in modern OpenGL, built directly on LWJGL with no engine in between — just the graphics pipeline and me.

Agentic AI medical voice assistant A 24/7 agentic assistant that autonomously handles patient phone calls — scheduling, prescription refills, doctor lookups — through a real-time voice pipeline built on Twilio and the OpenAI Realtime API, backed by a FastAPI service and a PostgreSQL patient database for context-aware responses.

Portfolio & project hub My personal site, pulling my projects, research, and resume together in one place. Inspired by PedroTech, this was built using React and TailwindCSS,
