Hey 👋, I'm Cooper!

I’ve been programming for almost 9 years, and love learning about anything. I'm a first year math student at the University of Waterloo, and a huge proponent of open source software!

Projects

  • Centichess, a chess game review service that uses stockfish web workers to analyze your chess games and provide feedback.
  • Twine, a C++ compiler for my own language with direct LLVM IR code generation (Assembly).
  • Racket Prep, a platform that lets you practice Racket code in the browser!

Interests

  • AI Safety Research: thanks, in great part, to Robert Miles. Some of the best introductory videos for the field I've ever seen.
  • Math/logic puzzles: check out Daniel Litt, he has some lovely unintuitive coin flip or present opening ones.
  • Chess, soccer, and hockey!

Stack

  • Languages: JavaScript, C++, C#, Python, Java, Assembly (getting there), HLSL, GLSL.
  • Frameworks & Libraries: React, Next.js, Bootstrap, jQuery, TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, etc.

Achievements

  • First Place Overall at CalgaryHacks in 2024 (my first ever hackathon!)
  • Gold Medalist at Skills Alberta 3x Winner Web Development, Skills Canada 2025
  • Representing Canada at WorldSkills 2025 in Shanghai for Web Technologies
