    Projects

    Deep NN Chess Engine
    2025
    PyTorch
    Tensorboard
    Google Colab
    • Designed a neural network–based chess engine using self-play and MCTS inspired by AlphaZero
    • Accelerated training by leveraging multiprocessing, batched inference, mixed precision, and layer pruning to save training time by 1700% versus a naive single-CPU loop
    • Streamlined a self-play data generation pipeline alongside supervised learning in Python to bootstrap engine performance to ≈ 2000 ELO within only 10 hours
    • Achieved a competitive ELO on custom test suites against Stockfish-level tactics while training cost was free
