Jakob Underwood
@jakobunderwood
I build high-performance C++ simulation software and solve complex systems problems through structured analysis.
What I'm looking for
I built BlazingFastBaccarat, a modular C++ simulation engine for modeling baccarat and blackjack strategies, statistical outcomes, and long-term performance.
I developed a multi-threaded Monte Carlo system capable of processing millions of hands, implementing Expected Value, variance, risk of ruin, bankroll behavior, and side-bet analysis. I used object-oriented design to separate game rules, simulation runners, and statistical analysis while optimizing execution paths for speed, scalability, and reliability.
Alongside my computer science studies, I troubleshoot complex building systems at The Scion Group, using root-cause analysis, preventive maintenance, and clear technical communication to manage more than 350 residential split HVAC systems.
