puzzles
In July 2021, I organized and hosted the Hunt20 Puzzlehunt (what is a puzzlehunt?). I wrote 19/20 of the puzzles in the hunt and set up the website (modified from gph-site).
You can check out the logic puzzles I have written (and other puzzly things) on my puzzle blog.

ambigrams
Ambigrams are designs of words that can be read in different directions (sometimes with different meanings with different perspectives). Here a few that I've designed.
juggling
I first learned how to juggle with the Georgia Tech Juggling Club in September 2022, and I was the GT Juggling Club president from January 2024-January 2025. I am now mainly working on 5 balls and 4 ball Mills' Mess, as well as some other fun tricks with clubs.
