Systems Developer Student at 42 Heilbronn
Building from first principles
I write software that operates close to the metal. My work focuses on systems programming, low-level optimization, and understanding how things work beneath the abstraction layers.
Competitive Rankings System
A ranking platform for 42 students implementing the ELO rating algorithm. Features real-time leaderboards, match history, and statistical analysis of player performance over time.
Raytracer Implementation
A raytracer written entirely in C, implementing the fundamental algorithms of computer graphics from scratch. Handles multiple light sources, shadows, reflections, and various geometric primitives.
The challenge was implementing mathematical concepts—vector operations, ray-sphere intersections, Phong lighting—without relying on graphics libraries.
Shell Implementation
A bash-like shell built in C. Implements the complete pipeline: lexical analysis, parsing, and execution of commands with pipes, redirections, environment variables, and signal handling.
I'm currently at 42 Heilbronn, a peer-to-peer programming school where learning happens through building.
My focus is systems programming—the layer where software meets hardware. I find satisfaction in understanding how things work at their most fundamental level, whether that's memory management, process scheduling, or network protocols.
Beyond C and Unix internals, I work with Go for concurrent systems, and TypeScript for web applications when the problem calls for it.
"The best way to learn is to build, break, and rebuild."
I'm interested in systems work, performance-critical applications, and projects where understanding the fundamentals matters.
