        <h2>Experience</h2>
        <p>Since I began programming in high school, I have worked on a number
        of projects.</p>

        <h3>MegaMiner AI</h3>
        <p>As a member of the <b>ACM SIG-Game</b> Game and AI sub-teams, I
        have helped organize
        <a href="https://siggame.github.io">MegaMiner AI</a>,
        a 24-hour event held once a semester by SIG-Game that has competitors
        from all over try to create the best AI for a game that we design over
        the course of a few weeks.</p>

        <p>On the teams that I have been a part of, I have helped to develop
        game mechanics, balance game mechanics, and design my own AI to test
        the game. I also try to make my AI the best I can just because I find
        it fun.</p>

        <p>The game server is developed mainly using Typescript, while the AI
        clents can be created using any of the following languages:</p>
        <ul>
            <li>Javascript</li>
            <li>Java</li>
            <li>Python</li>
            <li>C++</li>
            <li>C#</li>
            <li>Lua</li>
        </ul>

        <h3>ACM SIG-Game AI Team Lead</h3>
        <p>I am the team lead for the AI team of ACM SIG-Game as well,
        where it is my job to make sure that each new member of the development team has the appropriate
        knowledge to be able to make their own AIs for the MegaMinerAI competition, as well as for
        testing the game server in order to fix any possible bugs.</p>

        <p>Along with instructing new members, I am also there to make sure that each of the supported
        languages has a basic shell AI for the MegaMinerAI competitors to use to start the competition
        with. I design the basic idea for the shell AI, then assign a development team member to translate
        it to each of the supported languages. I then do one final check to make sure that each one is
        working properly.</p>

        <h3>Chess</h3>
        <p>During the Spring 2018 semester, I have been developing my own
        chess AI for my Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course using
        many different techniques. I have been implementing the AI using
        SIG-Game's AI framework that it uses for MegaMiner AI, however,
        instead of using simple tactics to implement a specific strategy, I
        have been trying to implement the Minimax search algorithm to play
        chess. Along with Minimax, I have also developed my own
        <a href="https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Bitboards">
        bitboard</a> in order to speed up my AI's search time to have a better
        chance of winning the game.</p>

        <p>My chess AI client was developed entirely in C#.</p>

        <h3>Archlinux</h3>
        <p>Since 2017, I have been continually trying to teach myself all that
        I can about Linux and everything that it has to offer. The Linux
        distribution that I have been learning on is
        <a href="https://archlinux.org">Archlinux</a>, a simple distribution
        that I thought would be the best to get a good idea about Linux and
        how everything about it works. It was somewhat hard to setup, but I
        eventually figured out the basics of setting up my own desktop
        environment, and now I do most of my programming on Arch, which is
        much easier to develop on than Windows. I do still have Windows on
        my desktop computer for most things, but for developing, I prefer to
        do it on Linux.</p>
        <p>For my own reference, I made my own git repository to help myself
        to remember my setup here:
        <a href="https://github.com/trunko/linux_config">link</a>.</p>

        <h5>Other Work Experience</h5>
        <p>I have worked in a few other locations, to find out more about me,
