Puzzles
I participate in the MIT Mystery Hunt and various other puzzlehunts, as a solver and writer on teammate.
For Teammate Hunt 2025, I was the Hunt Director and Lead Editor. I also sometimes contribute to art for puzzlehunts, such as the Wyrmhole, an infinitely zooming fractal/tessellation/collage.
If you want to try one of my puzzles, but are new to puzzlehunts, I would recommend Starship Battle if you like logic and Wildlife Watch if you like words.
My personal favorites are Diagramless-ception, Mixed-Up Mixtape, and The Reactor.
