Deep NN Chess Engine
2025PyTorch
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
TasteBuds
2025Next.js
React
Socket.io
Node.js

2025PyTorch
Python3
Ray
Tensorboard
SKLearn
- Self‑taught machine learning concepts from scratch to modern ResNets in PyTorch over 7 days
- Developed a custom modular 56‑layer ResNet trained on 33 920 chest X‑ray images to identify COVID‑19, Lung Opacity, and Viral Pneumonia
- Integrated Ray Tune and TensorBoard to visualise training metrics and auto‑optimize hyperparameters, filtering outlier runs
- Achieved 92.93% classification accuracy on CIFAR‑10, matching top models from the original ResNet paper
