Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hey! I’m Jonathan, a freshman at MIT studying AI and Math. I got into coding by making small games in Pygame, then switched to C++ because I wanted to have control over my code and make it fast. Since then I’ve built a bot that plays GamePigeon’s Word Hunt using a neural netowrk I wrote from scratch (no AI libraries), an AI that solves Wordle, and a reinforcement-learning trading bot that won Jane Street’s AMP competition. Right now I'm building a PyTorch-style deep learning engine in C++ and CUDA, (built my AutoGrad engine now I'm looking towards building my own transformer class) and doing algorithms research and machine learning engineering at MIT CSAIL. In my free time I also do competitive programming!
