Before I knew what the point of Git versioning was, I created an entirely new repo for the sake of creating a new version of my previous anagram solver. Key improvements include the use of a faster Trie search algorithm and effective Scrabble assistance by calculating the score of each word. Simply add your Scrabble letters to this program and see the best possible word you can create. Now, If I were to make a V3, I would include the ability to insert your Scrabble board for the absolute best possible play you could create.

Give a set of letters to the program and it will output a set of possible words you can make according to the English Scrabble dictionary. Wildcards are supported, with a maximum of two. Please note that adding any more possibilities for wildcards adds a larger complexity (O(n^2) -> O(n^3)) due to the nature of the algorithm. I have hard set this at two for this reason. How to use:

During my Fall 2023 semester, I had an extra credit assignment for my Introduction to Computer Systems class that had me solve a Binary Bomb Puzzle. This led me to gain skills such as debugging assembly, converting it into high-level code, and tracking data in registers. 📄 Bomb Lab Instructions (Carnegie Mellon) Phase 1 Commands used: strings objdump gdb disas nexti info registers / i r Run: strings bomb > strings.txt Notable Strings

During the summer of 2023 (article written August 2025), I contributed to research at Loyola regarding how ChatGPT understood CS2 data structures (defined from Pearson, the publisher, as the second Computer Science course in common curriculum–CS1 is akin to AP Computer Science A). I was given the task of evaluating responses from ChatGPT and compiling them on https://curricula.cs.luc.edu/15-cs2/content.html. I contributed to the sections on Maze search algorithms. I found it fun to take my theoretical knowledge from my Data Structures class and pair it with ChatGPT to further enhance my learning.
