Projects

Some small programming projects I’ve worked on for fun.

Riichi mahjong library

GitHub | Demo

Language(s): Rust, WebAssembly.

Background: A Rust library for Japanese mahjong.

Motivation: Learn Rust and Wasm while exploring the computational aspects of the game of mahjong.

Roadmap:

• Short-term: Score calculator with a simple frontend. Check it out.
• Medium-term: Programmable tactics/strategies, Monte Carlo game simulations to test them.
• Long-term: Throw a bunch of ML/RL algorithms at it, see what comes out.
• Very-long-term: Train and deploy a bot with reinforcement learning to reach phoenix rank on Tenhou.

Image collection organizer

GitHub

Language(s): Python.

Background: A lightweight desktop application for tagging and querying an image collection.

Motivation: I personally use a (heavily customized) version of this on a quasi-daily basis to organize around 80k images (and counting). Learning (Py)Qt was a nice bonus.
