Selected work
A real-time multiplayer bluffing game supporting concurrent rooms of 2–8 players. The server-authoritative backend broadcasts personalized per-client game snapshots, and a 7-phase state machine with session reconnection keeps state consistent through concurrent actions and dropped connections.

Off the clock
Outside of school, I spend a lot of time on the tennis court, playing at around a 4.0 level. I recently picked up bouldering and currently climb in the V3–V4 range. I also run a small tennis racquet-stringing business — so if you're around Boston and need a restring, hit me up.
