About Me
I’m a junior at the College of William & Mary pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science. I work as a software engineer for the DisinfoLab at William & Mary, where I contribute to research on tracking and analyzing misinformation. Outside of academics, I’m an avid board game enthusiast, with favorites including Chess, Everdell, and Root.
Projects
A high-performance, lightweight chess engine built in modern C++, with support for both native desktop and WebAssembly builds. Its search is powered by a minimax core enhanced with iterative deepening, Alpha-beta pruning, move ordering, quiescence search, transposition tables with Zobrist hashing, and multithreading, achieving an estimated playing strength of around 2100 Elo.

HistoricalSpots is a full-stack web application built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB that lets users explore, add, and review historical sites across the United States. The site uses EJS templates with Bootstrap for layout and styling, and integrates MapTiler to provide an interactive map view of all listed locations. User authentication is handled with Passport.js, while Cloudinary is used for image storage. The application includes full CRUD functionality, allowing registered users to create, update, and delete their own historical site entries, as well as leave reviews on others’ submissions.
