Founder & President / Full-Stack Engineer
- Founded and currently lead EECAA, scaling membership to 50+ active members while establishing governance and operational structure
- Engineered and deployed a full-stack platform for automated news, events, and media management
- Built a custom rich-text editor and implemented backend concurrency handling for reliable content workflows
- Designed system architecture including role-based access control, admin dashboards, and scalable workflows
Math and Physics Tutor
Student Success and Support Center (SSSC), Florida Tech
- Tutored 300+ students in mathematics and physics, including calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, and introductory physics
- Supported students through one-on-one tutoring, group review sessions, and structured problem-solving strategies
- Designed visual explanations and study materials used during tutoring sessions
- Strengthened leadership and communication skills through peer mentoring and group instruction
Projects
Darhaal Games Platform
Next.js, Supabase Realtime, WebSockets
- Engineered a real-time multiplayer system tested with 70+ concurrent users across multiple sessions
- Designed low-latency state synchronization using WebSockets and Supabase Realtime
- Built extensible architecture supporting multiple multiplayer games and shared gameplay logic
- Focused on system reliability, session management, and smooth real-time user interaction
Chess Structure Clustering
Python, Scikit-Learn, PCA, K-Means, DBSCAN
- Developed an unsupervised learning pipeline to study structural patterns in chess games
- Compared PCA, K-Means, GMM, Agglomerative Clustering, and DBSCAN across multiple feature groups
- Analyzed dynamic, structural, and opening-family features to evaluate clustering behavior
- Found that chess games behave more like continuous strategic tendencies than clean style clusters
Chess Counterfactual XAI
PyTorch, Counterfactual Explanations, Saliency
- Studied counterfactual explanations for a chess-position CNN using one-piece board interventions
- Measured prediction flips, material distance, and model sensitivity across predicted classes
- Used gradient saliency as a baseline explanation method for model behavior analysis
- Identified fragile decision-boundary behavior under small board-state changes
PageRank Numerical Linear Algebra
MATLAB, Sparse Matrices, Power Iteration
- Implemented PageRank as a sparse numerical linear algebra problem in MATLAB
- Used sparse transition matrices, dangling-node correction, and power iteration
- Compared damping factors and verified results with a direct linear solve on a small graph
- Connected search ranking to eigenvectors, fixed-point iteration, and convergence analysis
Leadership & Activities
Member, Treasurer, Vice-President & Competitive Team Captain
Chess Club — Florida Tech
- Organized chess tournaments and club events with 100+ participants
- Built a web-based scheduling and pairing system using React and Node.js
