Computer Science Student

University of California, Santa Cruz

I’m actively working to break into cybersecurity and machine learning.

I'm a computer science student at UC Santa Cruz, graduating in 2027. I work mostly in Java and Python, and I'm building toward security and ML through coursework, job simulations, and projects like Luna Yoga. Before college I was programming lead on my high school robotics team.

PacMan: Capture the Flag

Built intelligent agents for a competitive Capture-the-Flag variant of Pac-Man — offensive and defensive agents making strategic decisions in a dynamic, adversarial world. We used A* search for real-time pathfinding, and our team placed 5th in the final tournament.

Demo Walkthrough

The red team navigates the maze in real time using A*. The offensive agent collects food and goes for the flag while the defensive agent guards home territory and intercepts opponents.

It shows risk assessment, threat evaluation, and cooperative behavior — the red agents are built to outplay the baseline blue team.

03 — EECCOA Challenge · 2023

EcoSpool

A system that collects plastic water bottles on campus and recycles them into spools of 3D-printer filament. Named a finalist in the 2023 EECCOA Challenge.
