My Projects and Plans

Cyberdeck

Status: Design Phase


Currently working through a design document to have a cyberdeck fully built out by end-of-year. The goal for this project is to have a small and handheld device that allows me to connect antennae, ethernet, usb, and GPIO pins for a "modular" experience, while running on a linux based system such as ParrotOS to provide vital ethical cybersecurity utility, especially in homelab scenarios.


6502 Class Cpu

Status: Complete(Rolling updates)

This project is a virtualized 6502 CPU, built entirely in typescript, exhibiting strong OOP skills, and project development using node.js to compile and run assembly within a strict character set in the terminal. My vision for expanding this is giving it a frontend, maybe even adding it as a fun little addition to the page you're already on!

MAPLE-A1 Github Code Submission Evaluator

        

          
Status: Complete
 

          The goals for this project were to explore using AI "forward"
          development as compared to AI "assisted" development to deliver a
          high-level product in a condensed timeline, while maintaining the
          end-results that were reminiscent of a capstone project. The codebase
          itself provides a safe, docker-droplet based code testing environment
          for instructors to more efficiently grade submissions from students.
          The project makes use of a pipeline that fetches github code
          submissions and runs them in docker-droplets for safety, the project
          also features auto-grading, given a strict set of guidelines based
          upon a predefined grading rubric provided by the instructor. The
          project is on-track to be adopted by the Marist University School of
          Computer Science and Mathematics for future versions and polishing.
        

      

      

        
IBM Z Badges

        

          
Status: In Progress
 

          Currently working through the IBM Z Xplore badge program, building
          hands-on experience with REXX, JCL, COBOL, and mainframe environments
          to broaden my understanding of enterprise computing.
