Portfolio Overview

My work focuses on embedded systems, systems-level software, custom rendering, interface structure, and interactive applications. I am most interested in projects where software design has to respond to real hardware or real constraints.

Project Highlights

Flagship Embedded Project

Capybara OS — ESP32-S3 Handheld System

Built a handheld system running directly on a microcontroller with a custom menu system, interactive applications, joystick navigation, and direct display communication over SPI.

  • Structured an OS-like architecture that supports multiple programs
  • Reduced redundant draw operations to improve rendering efficiency
  • Achieved smooth visual output while working under hardware limits
  • Diagnosed display initialization and timing issues at the hardware level

Interactive Educational Tool

CS Learning Platform

Developed an interactive learning site with modular topic sections, searchable content, expandable information panels, and browser-based code practice.

  • Built modular content sections for languages and core CS topics
  • Added interactive filtering and expandable information areas
  • Focused on clarity, navigation, and tool-like usability

Game and Rendering Systems

Arcade / Firefly

Created browser-based systems supporting animation, entity logic, collision, score systems, and responsive menu interactions.

  • Maintained stable frame rates using controlled redraw logic
  • Designed gameplay systems including scoring and combo tracking
  • Built menu transitions and responsive layouts
JavaScript Canvas Game Systems
Open Arcade
Development Infrastructure

Self Hosted Local Server and App Platform

Built and maintained a Linux-based local hosting environment to organize multiple projects, share assets, test changes immediately, and streamline development workflows.

  • Organized a scalable app structure with shared resources
  • Used command-line tooling for debugging and server control
  • Improved iteration speed through direct local testing
