I like building software from cloud all the way down to metal. I've written a chess operating system that boots on bare hardware, I maintain an inventory app that small businesses use every day, and I built a full-stack website that maps how players are connected.

ChessOS

Operating system · C++ and assembly

A small 64-bit operating system that does one thing: play chess. It boots straight from a USB stick or virtual machine without Windows or Linux.

Own two-stage BIOS boot loader in x86 assembly: A20, memory map, VESA graphics, long mode.
Alpha-beta chess engine with a hash table, null-move pruning and a tuned evaluation at roughly 2450 Elo.

Full-stack web app · live, in active development

Finds the shortest chain between any two Riot Games players through shared games, kills and assists, across every region except KR.

Indexes players by Riot PUUID, which stays the same across regions and games.
Graph built from months of crawling NA, KR, EUW, EUNE, BR and LAN matches, stored in Neo4j.
Works within a development API key's rate limits using a Redis-backed seed queue.

Composite Inventory

Production app · in daily use

An inventory management application I built and maintain. Small-business customers rely on it every day to keep track of their stock.

I built it and continue to maintain it.
It connects to the Amazon and Walmart APIs so users don't need to check twice.
