Projects

Most of my experience is in Rust, TypeScript, Python, and C++

Some projects you can play with in the browser right now:

  • AntLogic - logic gate education game build for IrvineHacks 2024
  • Ball Blitz - an interactive ball matching game in 3d
  • Interactive EM - an educational interactive simulation of the electric field around charges
  • Matrix Assistant - a tool that guides you through matrix row reduction without making mistakes
  • XprtCalc - an advanced calculator that emulates some features of programming languages

Special thanks to Friday Night Lab for giving me the space to do some of these.

For other projects and pictures of the ones above, you can check out my website!
