MY EDUCATION


I am a senior at Harvey Mudd College, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Creative Writing. Currently, my GPA is 3.85/4. I have taken courses in Data Structures & Program Development, Algorithms, Computer Systems, Operating Systems, Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Discrete Mathematics.



MY PROJECTS
Third-Person Assassin RPG

I made a third person RPG in Unreal Engine 5 using a combination of C++ and blueprints. I implemented a locomotion system that includes crouching, vaulting/mantling, and climbing with motion warping technology. In addition, I created an equipment system that allows the player to use multiple weapons with different attributes and actions. These weapons can be used to defeat enemy and boss AI.

Lorenz96 Graph Neural Network
I am building a graph neural network (GNN) that predicts the two-sccale Lorenz96 system: a chaotic, toy model of Earth’s climate in my research lab. Combining Python and libraries like JAX, jraph, and scipy, I am creating a smale-scale climate model that examines how well GNNs predict chaotic systems like the atmosphere. I am currently writing the academic paper for this project, so I can’t share code until the paper is published.

Java Pirate Platformer
After my senior year of high school, I spent a summer learning how to create a video game from scratch. In other words, I didn’t use an established game engine. I used Java and associated libraries like AWT and Swing to handle the graphics. In addition, I created a custom game loop, physics system, and combat mechanics for engaging platformer gameplay.
