Projects

StockAI · Live ML trading research platform · Python, PyTorch, FastAPI

2024 - 2026

Python, PyTorch, FastAPI

Designed a multi-head LSTM that predicts stock price moves from Yahoo Finance data, news, and social posts (YouTube, X, Reddit).
~11,500 lines of Python across 42 modules. Correlation analyzers feed the LSTM, which predicts 10 timeframes.
A retrainer scores past predictions, adjusts feature weights, and rolls back automatically when accuracy drops.

Mayhem Engine · Custom C++ game engine built from an empty VS project · C++, GLFW, rapidjson, OpenGL

2023 - 2024

C++, GLFW, rapidjson, OpenGL

Built a particle system (~1,260 LOC) whose JSON emitter files hot-reload without a rebuild.
Wrote the stat/upgrade system (~710 LOC), so designers tune each upgrade level by editing JSON.
Designed the input layer over GLFW. Shipped Zeppelin Rush, a tower-offense game, to Steam on the engine.

Genetic AI · Genetic algorithm that learns to play a game · Python

2024

Python

Wrote a Python genetic algorithm that played Zeppelin Rush and found a three-star strategy in 16 generations.
Started from 60 random playthroughs and bred and mutated the best ones. It beat the best human score after 14 generations.
Its runs showed the designers where the game was unbalanced.

Treasure Party · Local 4-player couch party game · Unity, C#

2024

Unity, C#

Owned several minigames, each with its own C# state machine.
Wrote the game's AudioManager, which persists across scenes and pools channels by priority.
