Projects I have spent the most time thinking through.

A serious product and algorithm project built around puzzle quality, reproducible generation, and a responsive user experience.

• Turns pasted notes into playable crossword puzzles
• Uses deterministic extraction plus heuristic filtering before generation

A collaborative full-stack build where I worked on authentication, user-flow polish, and integrating the frontend cleanly with backend behavior.

• Teacher and student roles in a shared quiz platform
• Authentication and onboarding flows connected to backend state

An applied ML project that covers the whole workflow from audio preprocessing through feature extraction, model training, and evaluation.

• Uses the RAVDESS dataset for speech emotion classification
• Extracts MFCC features and structures the data for training

Lower-level C++ work involving memory correctness, static libraries, POSIX I/O, FUSE, Linux tooling, and debugging under tighter constraints.

• Built a custom memory manager library in C++
• Mounted a WAD archive through FUSE and mapped file operations onto archive logic

A team project centered on protocol handling, distributed peer behavior, and the coordination problems that show up in piece-based file exchange.

• BitTorrent-style peer coordination and piece exchange
• Choke, unchoke, and interested-state logic

An earlier C++ project that shows game-state management, recursion, OOP fundamentals, and the discipline to finish a playable desktop application cleanly.

• Dynamic board generation and randomized mine placement
• Recursive reveal behavior and event-driven gameplay logic
