Ways to see the work

01 Play my chess engine Ransom, my entry in the Optiver AI Chessathon, running in your browser. On the board: a recorded game, Ransom against itself.
02 Code I wrote from scratch Two learning algorithms, a web server and a piece of git, written by hand to understand what is underneath.
03 Apps I built fast Small things built quickly with AI help. Each card says how much.
04 Resume One page: projects, school and skills. You can print it or save it as a PDF.
