About
I am a student at Harvard University studying computer science and mathematics, as well as a competitive programmer and musician.
I love thinking about programming languages, graphics, machine learning, and systems. Recently, I wrote a photorealistic renderer, a compiled Datalog engine in Rust used by security researchers, and a real-time semantic segmentation library for autonomous vehicles. Currently, I maintain Set with Friends and am building a modern math typesetting system.
At Harvard, I have previously been a teaching fellow for Data Structures and Algorithms, as taught by Michael Mitzenmacher, and Artificial Intelligence, as taught by Boaz Barak and Milind Tambe. This semester, I am a teaching fellow for Operating Systems, as taught by James Mickens. Aside from teaching, I am involved on campus with chamber music and theatre productions. I was also principal viola of the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra.
I wrote a physics book for high school students with Branislav Kisačanin, which was recently published by AIP. The free PDF version is available online here.
Competitive Programming
In high school, I won two gold medals representing the US at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), placing 7th globally. I also ranked highly in the national math and physics olympiads, and I compete on Harvard's ICPC team.
I have written and tested problems for major national and international programming competitions, including the following:
- USA Computing Olympiad (USACO)
- National Olympiad in Informatics Philippines (NOI.PH)
- PWSH Programming Contest
- HackerEarth CodeStar Contest
My advanced algorithm and data structure library is available here. If you are looking for tutoring, I have previously taught recorded courses with Alphastar Academy for motivated students aiming to perform at a high level in programming competitions.
