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

Aug 2023 – Present

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
