Extending a C# Chess Engine with King Safety and Material-Based AI

Extended a tutorial-based C# and WPF chess application with independently developed king-safety validation, castling rules, captured-piece tracking, and a computer-controlled opponent.

TL;DR

Problem: The guided implementation needed stronger rule enforcement and a playable single-player experience
Solution: Added board-copy simulation, king-safety filtering, castling validation, captured-piece tracking, and a material-scoring Black AI
Impact: Produced a clearer demonstration of C# architecture, game-state reasoning, and desktop UI integration

Material BasedAI Evaluation

2Solution Projects

Technical Leadership

Kept chess rules in the ChessLogic project and presentation concerns in ChessUI rather than embedding engine behavior in event handlers.
Used copied board states to validate candidate moves without mutating the active game.
Designed the computer opponent to consume the same legal-move pipeline used by the human-facing game flow.

Outcome:Turned a guided implementation into a stronger portfolio project that demonstrates object-oriented game architecture, rule validation, board-state simulation, and asynchronous UI coordination.

Rummy.green Angular Game Engine Validation

Built a production Angular 21 frontend and reducer-driven game engine for a multiplayer Rummy platform before backend persistence existed, using AI opponents as a validation mechanism to continuously test and refine gameplay logic.

TL;DR

Problem: Complex game rules needed validation before backend infrastructure existed
Solution: Built a reducer-driven Angular game engine and introduced AI players to continuously exercise gameplay scenarios
Impact: Accelerated game engine development, uncovered edge cases early, and established a foundation for future multiplayer expansion

Reducer DrivenGame Engine

Technical Leadership

Designed the initial game architecture around a reducer-driven state management approach to keep gameplay logic predictable and testable.
Recognized early that manual testing would not scale as game complexity increased.
Introduced AI-controlled opponents as a development and validation tool rather than waiting for multiplayer functionality.

Outcome:Created a playable environment capable of exercising complex game rules, exposing edge cases, and validating game engine behavior long before multiplayer infrastructure and persistent storage were introduced.

Building a Transaction-Safe Multiplayer Game Backend

Designed and implemented a transaction-safe multiplayer backend that mirrored the Angular game engine, enabling persistent game state, authenticated gameplay, API-driven actions, and multiplayer synchronization.

TL;DR

Problem: The frontend game engine needed to evolve into a persistent multiplayer platform while preserving gameplay integrity.
Solution: Built a Fastify + Prisma backend that mirrored the Angular game engine and validated every action through a centralized server-side rules engine.
Impact: Enabled authenticated multiplayer gameplay with persistent state, deck validation, and transaction-safe action processing.

Technical Leadership

Designed the backend architecture from scratch around the existing Angular game engine.
Created a mirrored server-side game engine to ensure rule consistency between frontend and backend.
Identified deck integrity validation as a critical requirement for multiplayer reliability.

Outcome:Delivered a production backend capable of enforcing game rules, preserving deck integrity, synchronizing player state, and supporting future multiplayer expansion.

Connecting a Frontend Prototype to a Production Multiplayer Platform

Connected an Angular multiplayer game platform to a newly developed Fastify backend by incrementally replacing client-side functionality with authenticated API-driven workflows while preserving gameplay continuity and maintaining production stability.

TL;DR

Problem: A frontend-only game engine needed to evolve into a production multiplayer platform without disrupting existing gameplay.
Solution: Incrementally replaced local functionality with authenticated API integrations while expanding backend capabilities.
Impact: Delivered a fully connected production platform with persistent state, administration tooling, and scalable architecture.

Technical Leadership

Defined an incremental integration strategy that minimized risk while connecting frontend and backend systems.
Identified opportunities to replace local functionality one API at a time rather than attempting a large-scale rewrite.
Designed API contracts that mirrored existing frontend game actions to simplify migration.

Outcome:Successfully transformed a frontend-first prototype into a full-stack production platform supporting authenticated users, persistent game state, multiplayer gameplay, administration features, and scalable backend services.
