Personal AI co-pilot, a digital instance of myself fine-tuned to write as I do, and to help with case studies and complex problem-solving. Powered by AWS, the agent answers questions in your logical style by providing answers by MCP access to databases containing my knowledge from class and the web, all through a simple React interface.

A Princeton Algorithms two-part certification. Java to implementations of fundamental data structures like stacks, A*, and double queues etc. in the first course. The second part was focused on algorithms for graph traversal, string processing, and minimum spanning trees, building complex solutions from the ground up.
