HPC Software Engineering Intern

• Developed temperature-aware SLURM scheduling logic to mitigate node overheating and optimize resources.
• Engineered an MQTT application for rapid remote profile deployment and automated node provisioning.
• Provisioned clean Linux VMs to systematically test and validate automated profile deployments.

Student Tutor

• Instructed undergraduate students in Computer Programming I (C) and II (C++).
• Guided lab sessions on pointers, manual memory management, dynamic structures, and algorithmic complexity.
• Assisted students during tutoring hours with live debugging and code optimization.

Python · Ollama (Llama 3) · Textual · GitHub Actions

• Engineered a Python game engine integrated with a local Llama 3 LLM for dynamic narrative generation.
• Architected a strict MVC pattern to isolate deterministic combat mechanics from the AI narrative layer.
• Designed a CI/CD pipeline via GitHub Actions using Pytest for validation and PyInstaller for deployment.

C++23 · SFML · CMake · OOP

• Engineered a 2D physics-driven space game using C++23, relying exclusively on SFML for rendering.
• Implemented procedural surface generation via Perlin noise and dithering passes for real-time rendering.
• Architected a custom object-oriented framework to efficiently manage game resources and simulation state.

Python · STFT · SVD · QR Factorization

• Built a lossy .wav compression pipeline converting time-domain signals via Short-Time Fourier Transforms.
• Implemented SVD and QR factorization to compute low-rank approximations and compress spectral data.
• Reconstructed audio via Inverse STFT and analyzed cumulative errors across multiple compression cycles.

Python · Playwright · Stockfish Engine

• Developed an automated board observer parsing live web game states from the DOM using Playwright.
• Interfaced parsed board positions with the Stockfish engine via asynchronous subprocesses for evaluation.
• Implemented adjustable engine depth parameters to dynamically balance analytical precision with execution speed.
