What I've been up to recently
Built an interactive Numberlink puzzle platform with a React frontend and FastAPI backend. Users can generate, solve, and create custom puzzles. Developed three generators, tested three solvers, and benchmarked performance. The PycoEdgeSolver emerged as the most scalable, solving puzzles up to 10x10 grids efficiently.
Developed a single-core operating system with a FAT-based filesystem, kernel, and scheduler. Implemented built-in functions and tested CPU utilization and memory leaks using Valgrind.
Created a tool to automate data analysis for advocate databases in Airtable. It calculates key metrics, reducing manual work from days to minutes, supporting Partners for Justice’s mission to reform the legal system.
Analyzed drivers of Airbnb prices in NYC using datasets on listings, crime, and income. Aggregated and merged data to understand intrinsic (e.g., room type) and external (e.g., crime rates) factors influencing pricing.
Built a web app to analyze football players and teams across leagues and seasons. Features include attribute tracking, filtering, and visual comparisons via graphs and charts.
Developed a gamified edtech platform for teaching personal finance. CommonCents serves 1600+ students across 8 campuses, attracting 2000+ monthly visits.
