Projects
I mainly use C++, Python, and MERN stack now. Sometimes I use Swift, C, Java, and Bash.
- Buzz - Independently built a Twitter-inspired social media site using the MERN stack with 4,000+ lines of code, with Redis-based rate limiting, NGINX load balancing for fault tolerance, and unit testing.
- Random Byte Generator - custom seed sources, hardware RNG capability verification, block-wise output, advanced C memory management, developed using Unit Testing, Valgrind, and AddressSanitizer.
