Featured Projects

SSH Environment Manager

sshstate

Go / OpenSSH / SQLite / Cryptography / Docker

Released an open-source Go CLI for managing SSH hosts, connection options, keys, and trusted host keys across macOS and Linux. An optional self-hosted relay syncs the environment with client-side encryption and explicit conflict review. An encrypted local vault and SSH agent keep managed private keys off disk in plaintext while OpenSSH handles connections.

CNC Machine Embedded Control System (In Progress)

portable-cnc-machine

C/C++ / C# / .NET / Avalonia / KiCad / grblHAL

A modular, portable CNC mill intended to let remote First Nations communities fabricate replacement parts locally, targeting ±0.05 mm accuracy in aluminum. Designed to operate offline, it uses a Teensy 4.1 controller that extends grblHAL to run G-code from an SD card and verify axis position, while an Avalonia/.NET app lets operators preview toolpaths in OpenGL and control the mill. Its fabricated electronics enclosure will house the power, motor, spindle, and emergency-stop systems.

Quad-Tree Image Compression CLI

img-compressor

Rust

Rust CLI for quad-tree image compression with O(1) variance queries, scaling to 6k x 9k images across 100k iterations in 7.6s.

Course Reviews Web Application

ratethatclass.com

Next.js / React / Node.js / Express / Python / PostgreSQL / Docker

Launched an anonymous course review platform with course search, detailed ratings, community voting, and admin moderation. Developed 11 university-specific scrapers to normalize 60,038 courses into a searchable PostgreSQL database.
