Technologies: C++, Lua

Developed a high-performance 3D game engine that supports real-time rendering, physics simulation, and an integrated Lua scripting API. This engine allows for customizable and efficient game development, providing tools for asset management, scene editing, and debugging. Key features include dynamic lighting, advanced shader support, and cross-platform compatibility.

Highlights:

• Implemented a modular architecture for easy extensibility.
• Optimized rendering pipeline for enhanced performance.
• Integrated Lua scripting for flexible game logic customization.
• Supported multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Technologies: C, ASM

Designed and implemented a custom C compiler and ASM assembler tailored for low-level software development. This toolchain optimizes code for performance and resource management, enabling developers to write efficient system-level applications.

Highlights:

• Implemented lexical analysis, parsing, and code generation modules.
• Optimized assembly output for various CPU architectures.
• Supported advanced features like inline assembly and macro definitions.
• Ensured compatibility with existing development workflows and tools.

Technologies: Python

Developed a comprehensive network crawler designed to scan local networks, identify connected devices, and gather detailed information about each device. This tool aids in network management, security analysis, and software auditing.

Highlights:

• Implemented device discovery using ARP and ICMP protocols.
• Collected device-specific information such as IP, MAC addresses, and open ports.
• Integrated login capabilities to analyze running software and services.
• Provided detailed logs and reports for network analysis and security assessments.

Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP

Developed a secure and feature-rich website for the Wisconsin Cyber Threat Response Alliance (WICTRA). The site includes advanced bot protection mechanisms, user management, dynamic forms, a ticketing system, jobs board, and a content library.

Highlights:

• Implemented CAPTCHA, 2FA, and JavaScript challenges for enhanced security.
• Developed a robust user management system with role-based access control.
• Designed and integrated dynamic forms and a ticketing system for efficient issue tracking.
• Created a jobs board and content library to manage and display organizational resources.

Technologies: C++

Created a utility tool designed to identify and package the necessary DLLs required by an executable. This simplifies the distribution process by ensuring that all dependencies are included, reducing runtime errors and improving application stability.

Highlights:

• Implemented dependency scanning to detect required DLLs.
• Automated the packaging process for efficient distribution.
• Ensured compatibility across different Windows environments.
• Provided detailed logs and reports for debugging and verification.

Technologies: C, C++

Developed GCML, a comprehensive library of macros designed to streamline development workflows in C and C++. This library includes macros for debugging, logging, memory management, and bit manipulation, significantly enhancing coding efficiency and reducing boilerplate code.

Highlights:

• Created macros for easy logging and debugging to accelerate development cycles.
• Implemented memory management macros to prevent leaks and optimize usage.
• Developed bit manipulation macros for efficient data processing.
• Ensured compatibility and ease of integration with existing projects.
