Another way to look around
Try gallery mode for a more immersive experience: the same work as objects in a room, with a playable Hex board and a search you can watch think.
about
I like programs where you can prove something about the result. The work I am proudest of so far is my thesis, five months of squeezing nested sets below what an entropy compressed baseline can do, in C, with every claim benchmarked. The work I had the most fun with is a Hex engine, where the joy was watching simulations per second climb.
Outside my degree I work as a quantitative analyst, keep the books as treasurer of DTU's padel club, and run Impasto, a small digital painting business. The thread through all of it is the same: I like owning things end to end and being accountable for the result.

Compressed bitvector structures in C. Storing nested sets relative to their parent instead of the universe cuts the encoding by 47 percent against an entropy compressed baseline, at 1.3x to 1.7x slower queries. Graded 12/12.
