About Me

I'm a software engineer pursuing an MS in Computer Science at UNLV, after finishing my BS in 2025. I build software to explore what I'm learning and to solve problems for people I know.

I work as a Public Service Intern at UNLV OIT and run a Proxmox and TrueNAS homelab. Open to full-time software, systems, and infrastructure roles starting in 2027.

Highlighted Projects

  • WikiGolf: A two-pass Rust parser turns the English Wikipedia dump into a 7.2M-article link graph. The public game runs as a static export; a separate Rust server supports live path queries.
  • PalDash: Built for the Palworld server I host for friends. Combines monitoring and a world map with binary save editing, server-state checks, verified backups, and rollback checks.
  • ClientCrypt: Started with my cryptography coursework. RustCrypto runs in WebAssembly, inputs stay in the browser, and FIPS/RFC test vectors check the results.
  • Stepwise: Started with my algorithms coursework. Recorded execution frames let you step backward through algorithms, CPU schedules, and simulated thread interleavings.

Also built Sudoku for ad-free play with generated puzzles, hints, and a custom solver, and Boardroom for remote game nights. Boardroom's hosted demo is AI-only; online multiplayer requires the self-hosted Node server.

Team and coursework projects include F1tenth autonomous racing (our team placed first in four races; I managed the shared codebase), the Espresso compiler, and a Steam-review NLP paper for which I handled all scraping, data collection, preprocessing, and the initial ML run.

I also build Silt, a Rust version control system with Git-compatible interchange, and Interlay, experimental languages whose interpreters run commit and merge-policy hooks for Silt.

My Mario PPO agent cleared World 1-1 in 10/10 evaluation episodes after 10M training steps; results are limited to that trained level.

Graduate coursework compares vector/graph retrieval, embeddings, and compression using a provided evaluation harness, alongside phishing-model distillation and adversarial-image labs. Coursework source stays private; I can discuss the work and my contributions.

Open to full-time roles in Software Engineering, Autonomous Systems, and Infrastructure beginning 2027.

Pinned Loading

  1. clientcrypt clientcrypt Public

    Cryptography that never leaves your browser — Rust/WASM primitives from classical ciphers to a full TLS 1.3 key schedule, verified against FIPS and RFC test vectors

    TypeScript

  2. wikigolf wikigolf Public

    Golf across Wikipedia: reach the goal article in the fewest clicks. A Rust engine that parses the full dump into a 7.2M-article / 232M-link graph, serves daily puzzles, and maps the whole thing.

    Rust

  3. paldash/paldash paldash/paldash Public

    Dashboard for self-hosted Palworld servers — live map, breeding planner, safe save editing, backups, moderation, metrics, role-based access. One container beside the game server.

    Python

  4. V24 V24 Public

    Backup of my klipper setup!
