I write software where the details matter_

Live multi-server Java game network on Ubuntu / Oracle Cloud. Velocity proxy, MariaDB + Redis, multiple server nodes — designed, deployed, and operated end to end.

• Proxy routing, plugin interoperability, database access, deployment hygiene.
• Region-safe scheduling refactor for Folia / Purpur compatibility.
• Treats tail latency, not mean, as the player-experience metric.

Rust runtime / tooling work for a non-commercial Super Smash Bros. Ultimate modding project with a public community.

• Memory safety and explicit failure handling for code running close to a host process.
• Careful API boundaries with the host runtime; no silent fallbacks.
• Loud in dev, graceful in prod — debuggable for a public modding community.

Full-stack study platform. Next.js App Router + TypeScript, Supabase Auth + Postgres, Row Level Security, persistent quiz attempts, mastery / streaks, leaderboard, profile.

• Designed SQL schema, RLS policies, and triggers / views for leaderboard and mastery.
• Auth, protected routes, account settings, password reset, email templates.
• Polished academic UI with Tailwind + shadcn/ui across courses, quizzes, and profile.

Backend foundations for an original-IP live-service multiplayer game. Public catalog API, locale / chapter filtering, account-linking groundwork, EOS planning for cross-progression.

• Catalog endpoint with explicit protection against leaking internal release_state / parent data.
• Public / private data boundaries treated as a first-class design concern.
• Planning Epic Online Services integration for multiplayer / account foundation.

Python desktop OCR automation assistant. Combines screen capture, Tesseract OCR, AI-assisted interpretation, and OS-level automation with explicit safeguards.

• Robust OCR noise filtering for unstable on-screen text and inconsistent UI layouts.
• Safeguards around input dispatch — predictable, testable automation behavior.
• macOS packaging: app bundling, encrypted config, license-key validation.

Region-safe Java plugin refactoring under Folia's stricter concurrency model. The interesting bug class is "looks correct, runs correct, crashes once a week."

• Refactored unsafe world access patterns into region-safe scheduling.
• Debugged async thread violations, entity cleanup, and world-mismatch errors.
• Documented reusable patterns for the rest of the plugin set.

This site. Hand-written HTML / CSS / JS with an interactive terminal-style REPL, command history, theme toggle, project search, and accessible mobile nav — no frameworks.

• Real REPL with virtual filesystem (cat projects/realfiction.md).
• Command palette (⌘K), keyboard shortcuts, view transitions, live local time.
• Deployed via GitHub Pages with Cloudflare-managed custom domain.

Co-founded a small distributed indie studio. Gameplay / system code across UE4/UE5 projects with C++, C#, and Java alongside a distributed team.

• Reusable gameplay systems: state, input, gameplay behavior, iteration.
• Production habits: source control, code review, distributed collaboration.
• Owned core systems from initial design through deployment and iteration.

Coursework and self-study in computer architecture, assembly, C, and OS fundamentals — the kind of work that makes Rust's borrow checker feel like a friend.

• Assembly and architecture work: registers, memory, calling conventions, instruction-level behavior.
• C / C++ systems study: pointers, memory layout, compilation, OS fundamentals.
• Programming languages: grammars, parsing, automata, recursive descent, shift-reduce.
