Tetris!
Play Tetris 4 made in JavaScript
A project I made on my laptop. Tetris, the original block puzzle game, but made by me. I used my knowledge of graphical programming and javascript and combined that inside a fantastic coding playground p5. Using the tools of the p5 library I was able to code from scratch and JavaScript a working replica of Tetris that you can play in any web browser (that supports p5's coding environment).

Security Encryption / Asymmetric Key Cryptosystems
ft_ssl_rsa
This project is a continuation of the previous encryption project. I coded a random prime number generator and used it to make private RSA keys. I recoded part of the OpenSSL program, specifically GENRSA, RSA, and RSAUTL.

42 Robotics Lab
Robotic Autonomous Painting Robot
I was part of an R&D team creating a programmable robot with the goal of autonomously painting a flat wall section. My major contributions were coding the brain (Arduino) that takes control of the motors. The motors kept track internally of its position within its frame via encoders. This was a sponsored project with 42 Robo Lab, led by Daniel Goncharov.

Raycasting 3d game engine
Wolf3D
A project to test the understanding of graphics and practical application of mathematics. I built an engine to render a custom 'map' similar to the popular '90's game Wolfenstein 3D.

Graphically Beautiful Fractals
fract'ol
I made an interactive program that uses the mouse position as an input to the formula which displays a fractal image. I programmed more than one set of famous fractals, and the ability to view depth with varrying color schemes. I also implemented multi threded processing to improve performance.
