Welcome! My name is Aayush Singh and I love to use mathematical algorithms to solve complex processes. Whether it's solving for optimal moves in my favorite strategy games or using statistical analyses to increase efficiency in a production server, I am looking for opportunities at the intersection of math and computer science.
I'm a new graduate from UNC Chapel Hill where I completed my BS in Computer Science with a minor in Math and Data Science, as well as tons of experience working with various startups, and on my own personal projects. Take a look below!
Jan - May 2022 [8 Months]
I interned at 3DFS Technologies, a startup specializing in using software to correct electricity currents on the scale of nanoseconds. I used embedded programming techniques in C to write software that operates at these lightning fast speeds, meaning algorithm design and optimization were key. I implemented signal processing algorithms and security failsafes, and programmed directly into microprocessor memory for maximum performance.
Alongside product development, I also implemented and designed SQL databases to manage company inventory. I created an HTML, browser-based front-end application for users to log into the databases and perform operations, which were forwarded to a custom python back-end I built for SQL optimization.

Started developing a blockchain based video game, which evolved into a LLC gaming studio called 'Moira Labs' with the help of two other Co-founders. Moira Labs was hand selected for Private Venture Group's exclusive startup accelerator program, and is now developing in stealth. More to come soon!
At Moira Labs, I have designed, managed, and developed key elements of comany software. Being Project lead for one project involved merging pull requests, planning future features and systems, and working closely with a team of developers. I have also specialized in handling the cloud services used by the company, including configuring and launching multiple Amazon Web Services containers, such as S3 data buckets, SQL database instances, Cognito authorization pools, and more.
Everyone knows the classic game 'Chopsticks', but no one knows how to play it perfectly - until now. I independently proved, solved, and then implemented theorems from linear algebra and graph traversal algorithms to make an AI that wins every game without fail. For more info (and a sneak peek at all the cool math and algorithms), check out my Github!

I have a passion for all things math, and teaching is no exception. During my freshman year at UNC, I was able to work as an Undergraduate Learning Assistant with the UNC Math Department. I helped professors teach MATH 231 (Calculus of Functions) and MATH 110L (Algebra), to over 200+ students. I would talk to students during and after class to assess strengths and weaknesses, and create material to help students learn. I would record videos of practice problem solutions, and host group study sessions with students to work on problems together. I'm happy to say that I helped many students not only understand, but gain a newfound respect and passion for math.

I was individually asked by two of my professors to join them under UNC's directed reading program, in order to conduct research into advanced math topics. We ended up researching formal logic systems and Godel's Incompleteness Theorem over the course of the semester. The research concluded with a presentation to the UNC Math Department on our findings.
Participated in Duke University's Triangle Competition in Math Modeling. Formed a team with one other undergraduate student, and used math modeling and data science techniques to analyze a given data set. Using various different techniques, from simple linear regression, to predictive algorithms, we extrapolated sleeping patterns for smart watch users based on their step count record data. We ended up securing 7th place in the competition overall, winning honorable mention slots, as well as prizes.
I also love to build my own personal projects using hardware on my Raspberry Pi. One recent project I built was a model solar panel mounted light detector: I outfitted the Rasberry Pi with light sensors and some servo motors and programmed it to maximise the solar panel output by facing the light! Currently the Raspberry Pi is running an open source java program which allows it to run as a LAN Minecraft server.
During the time I spent studying network protocols, I also implemented my own version of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP for short). SMTP is one of the oldest protocols out there, with an RFC (the official document specifying the protocol) that dates back to 1982, the early days of the internet. Back then, passwords and files would often be sent plaintext, unencryped, over the internet - there was nothing stopping someone from simply checking other people's email (kind of like actual mail)! To get a better understanding of implementing official RFC protocols, and of mail servers in general, I decided to implement my own version of SMTP, compliant with all the protocol standards outlined in the official RFC document in python.
