I'm an aspiring software engineer studying a Bachelor of Computer Science (Advanced) at the University of Adelaide. I use they/them pronouns. Check out some of my projects below!

Two-Player Chess (C++)

I worked in a team of 3 to create a two-player chess game. I designed and implemented much of the backend, such as check detection, mate detection, draw detection, the save/load system, the testing system, and move validation. The GUI was made with SFML.

Sudoku App (Kotlin)

I'm currently creating a sudoku app for android. It can generate a board at varying difficulty levels, ensuring there is exactly one valid solution. It also contains quality-of-life features such as cell highlighting and note auto-clear.

Advent of Code 2022 (C++)

In December 2022, I participated in Advent of Code. I completed a personal goal to solve each day's puzzle the day they came out, giving me an 8 hour time limit. I learnt a lot about various data structures, algorithms, and optimisation techniques.

Minesweeper (MATLAB)

Created a console-based minesweeper game in MATLAB. Features include automatic image generation of the gameboard after a win or loss, depth-first search after revealing a 0 tile to reveal all adjacent tiles, saving & loading, and custom difficulties.
