I am a Computer Science student at the University of Florida with a deep interest in software engineering, ranging from full-stack architecture to computer graphics and game development.

My background spans building end-to-end web applications, developing backend APIs with Node.js and Spring Boot, managing databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL, and exploring graphics programming and game design.

Additionally, I studied abroad in Japan alongside Kyoto University students where I developed my skills in Rust, worked on impactful projects, and joined a language-exchange program.

Integrated Stockfish WebAssembly directly in the browser with configurable analysis settings and MultiPV support to show variation lines with per-move evaluations. Implemented similarity matching using cosine similarity over precomputed vectors stored in Supabase/Postgres to identify strategically similar grandmaster games efficiently.
