About Me
Hi there! My name is Tiger, and I'm currently pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at Brown University with a focus on Software Principles and AI/ML.
Some of my other hobbies and passions include:
- Breakdance! I'm the Dance Captain of Ground Breakin', Brown's premier breaking club — you might catch a glimpse of me spinning on my head if you drop by one of our practices.
- Classical Music — I've played violin and piano for over 8 years, and I'm a current violinist for the Brown University Orchestra.
- Basketball is my favorite sport, and on any given day you'll likely find me playing a pickup game or obsessing over NBA analytics.
- Word Hunt. With a high score of 55.1k and over 2,500 wins, you'll be hard pressed to find a bigger WH fanatic than me.
Featured Projects
NeuralDecompiler
A state-of-the-art, transformer-based neural network trained on 10,000+ files and 5,000,000+ parameters, capable of translating low-level x86-64 assembly instructions to human-readable C programs.
Python, TensorFlow, Flask
Word Hunt Solver
Find all solutions for a given Word Hunt game! This program uses a custom trie data structure to efficiently validate all potential words produced by a recursive depth-first graph traversal by discarding letter chains that aren't present in the trie.
Python, Flask
Sunflower Washateria
A dynamic, full-stack platform implemented for my local washateria supporting a custom-created user account system with login and registration capabilities, a page enabling users to schedule orders for pickup and delivery laundry services, and an automated email contact form.
React, Express, Node, MongoDB
Other Notable Work
Multi-Threaded Search
Built a concurrent, thread-safe search engine that implements tf-idf scoring and Google's PageRank algorithm to return relevant results for a given query.
C/C++
Caching I/O
Programmed a virtual single-slot cache to optimize read, write, and seek system calls for a custom file input/output library.
C/C++
Travel Planner
Implemented Dijksta's Algorithm to calculate the ideal path between any two cities based on minimum cost or duration as well as maximal directness.
Java
Decision Tree
Developed a decision tree machine learning algorithm to predict the classification of various items on provided datasets with over 80% accuracy.
Java
