PROJECTS Solitaire Cipher: Created an encryption and decryption program modeled after Bruce Schneiers
cipher featured in the New York Times Bestseller Cryptonomicon. The Solitaire Cipher allows
users to encrypt plaintext messages using modular arithmetic based on cards drawn from a 54-
card deck. A shuffling algorithm rearranges them based on their positions relative to the Joker
cards to reassign each letter in the alphabet to a different one, providing security that Schneier
boasts holds up against even the most well-funded military adversaries with the biggest
computers and the smartest cryptanalysts.

League of Legends Elo Boosting Company: Started and operated a small business based on the
game League of Legends alongside a partner. The company website, coded in HTML and CSS,
connects clients with potential boosters to help them elevate their in-game rank.

GPA Calculator / Planner: Coded a program in Python that allows users to record their past,
current, and presumed future coursework. They can then input their grades for these courses to
calculate their current GPA as well as predicted GPAs based on future course performance while
comparing prospective options for upcoming semesters.
