Creating puzzlehunts has been one of my primary hobbies since I joined Puzzle Hunt CMU (Carngie Mellon's puzzle-writing student org) in 2017. I went on to be co-president of the org for two academic years from 2018-2020, and helped the club organize five student puzzlehunts. Meanwhile, I had started solving the MIT Mystery Hunt with teammate, and in 2020 I joined the sub-group that was organizing the first Teammate Hunt. I contributed some art and puzzles to this hunt, but got more heavily involved in their next three hunts: Matt & Emma's Carnival Conundrum (2021), The Puzzle Factory (MIT Hystery Hunt 2023) and Matt & Emma's Deep-Space Disaster (2025). I acted as the head of the art and story team for all of these, and I pitched the ideas for Carnival Conundrum and Deep-Space Disaster.

I like to explore puzzlehunts as a medium for storytelling, integrating the setting or plot directly into the puzzle-solving experience as much as possible. When writing, I often take inspiration from a puzzle's in-universe context. I also have a special fondness for wordplay, interactivity, and metapuzzles. Below is a list of puzzles I've co-written, which can almost all still be accessed and solved online. My favorites are marked with stars. Potential spoilers are hidden like this — [example spoiler] — but can be revealed by hovering over them. Internet research (besides reading a puzzle's solution) is also considered fair game when solving any of these.
