๐ About Me
My programming journey started in 2013 when I taught myself Lua in order to make multiplayer games on Roblox; my games garned over 1,300,000 plays. This experience motivated me to study Mathematics and Computer Science at Rice University. For the past year, I have been learning new skills and tackling big challenges at Amazon Web Services.

Hierarchical Bloom Filters
CBashResearch
Problem
Bloom filters are used ubiquitously due to their speed and memory efficiency in theory and in practice. However, the standard implementation of sufficiently large bloom filters suffers from page faults.
Solution
We can create a bloom filter implementation that guarantees one page access per operation. This minimizes page faults, thereby drasticaly improving efficiency. I show theoretically and empirically that this hierarchical implementation is expected to be faster than the standard implementation without alterating the false positive rate.

Particle Life
Go
About
Particle life is a particle simulator implemented in Golang showcasing emergent behavior. Each particle color is randomly assigned different repelling or attracting forces to other particles. Conservation of energy is not required and pairs of forces do not need to be opposite and equal. (Newton is rolling in his grave!) This simple system displays emergent behavior as life like structures form under these simple constraints.Search Engine
JavaSQLReact
About
This is a fully functional search engine built from scratch made of three primary components.
- A web crawler to scrape and index the websites.
- Search engine which quickly finds websites based on your query using a minhashtable and comparing relative frequency of trigrams.
- A slick frontend using React, which interfaces with the backend engine.
O-Week Geneaology
TypeScriptReactNext.jsFull Stack Development
Problem
Every Rice student is assigned to an orientation week "famlily" and upperclassmen "parents". Students wonder how they are related to their peers in this family hierarchy, but there is no central place to do it.
Solution
A site that dynamically pulls and render data about who belongs to which o-week family and how they all connect. Now, students can easily search and explore our family o-week tree. Currently over 3,000 students are represented in the dataset, and growing!
