About Me


I'm currently a junior at Texas Tech University majoring in Computer Science. I enjoy putting my technical and soft skills to work, and I'm always testing out new technologies to stay ahead in this fast-changing field. Upon graduating, I'm excited to use what I've learned to tackle complex challenges — both in software engineering and the financial markets.

Lately, I've been diving into algorithmic trading concepts, data pipelines, and backtesting frameworks, with the goal of building flexible, data-driven tools that can handle the ever-shifting nature of financial markets. I'm also getting to learn more advanced CS concepts, and efficient systems programming with Rust.

In my free time, you'd probably find me cubing, reading a book, playing basketball 🏀, or catching up on the latest Grand Prix 🏁

CodeClash - HackwesTX hackathon (Second Place Winner 🥈)

React 18 Node.js PostgreSQL Tailwind CSS Socket.io Gemini API

CodeClash lets you challenge friends or AI bots to real-time 1v1 coding duels, where the first to solve the problem wins. You can track your progress, climb ranks from Bronze all the way to Grandmaster, and see how you compare on global leaderboards. Beyond just duels, users can customize their profiles, choose avatars, display skills, and set goals — making practice more personal and engaging. It’s a way to practice coding, compete with friends, and have fun doing it.

My contributions:

  • Architected real-time multiplayer system using Node.js, Express, and Socket.io to enable synchronized 1v1 coding duels between users, ensuring consistent game state and preventing desyncs across concurrent WebSocket connections
  • Implemented secure user authentication and authorization with JWT tokens supporting multiple login methods (Google OAuth, email), while maintaining session security and seamless user experience across the platform
  • Integrated Gemini API to power intelligent bot opponents for solo practice matches, creating adaptive AI competitors that simulate realistic coding challenge scenarios and provide users with engaging single-player gameplay options
