About
Projects
I was Problem Czar for the HMMT February 2015 contest, along with Bobby Shen and Victor Wang. We were also the Problem Czars for the HMMT November 2013 contest.
I was one of the co-organizers for the Harvard-MIT Undergraduate Math Symposium.
Hobbies
Competitive Programming: For the past three years, I’ve been on Harvard’s ACM-ICPC team. I’m also on codeforces - you can find my profile here.
Ultimate Frisbee: I currently play on Princeton’s ultimate team (Clockwork Orange). In the past, I was on Red Line (Harvard’s ultimate frisbee team), where I played mostly as a cutter. Before that, I was on Bred Line (the B team).
In high school I was an avid Dominion player. I played on Isotropic under the handle dnkywin. I still play on the new interface from time to time.
Other things I enjoy doing (definitely not an exhaustive list): crazyhouse, poker, basketball.
