I'm a software engineer studying at Duke University with a major in Computer Science and
minors in Philosophy and Economics. I have a wide variety of interests including applied machine learning,
distributed systems, and game development. I believe in a balance between looking at the big picture and using the
technologies available to us, and hope to gain experiences that expose me to different modes of real-world problem
solving.
Over the course of ten weeks, nine teammates and I created a game authoring program.
Four separate teams were created from the larger group, and I was a member of the team which designed and
coded our game engine. Working on this project taught me how to use Agile methodologies and
effectively communicate with team members in order to construct a well-designed, flexible game environment.

sphereCrypt is a cryptography algorithm that I created and uses a custom encryption
/ decryption scheme. The algorithm generates a key which is used to decode the encoded message back into
human readable form. The image to the left is a visualization of this process, representing a potential
path that may be taken while the program is running.

This project was done in a group as a part of the Operating Systems course taught
at my university, which had us write a thread library that implements thread creation, yielding, locking, and
condition variables. In order to test our library we had to write custom test suites which checked the logic
of our thread queues and context swaps.

I personally created the entire website you are currently viewing -- from the
layout of the elements to the style of transitioning between them. My intention was for the experience to be
smooth for the user while keeping use intuitive for those first visiting the site. Creating this site taught
me how to host a web page that is accessible across all devices and platforms.
