Lua Obfuscator

Mar 2022 - Present

I wrote a program that obfuscates Lua code. It allows you to release programs coded in Lua without distributing the source code. It can be used for Roblox games or any general purpose Lua applications.

  • Kotlin
  • Gradle
  • JUnit

Slippy

Jan 2024 - Apr 2024

As programming lead and team captain, I helped to design and program an FRC robot complete with swerve drive, full odometry, dynamic autonomous modes, command-based inverse kinematics, and dynamic trajectory calculations that allowed the robot to shoot from anywhere. This robot won awards for its code at the local Long Island Regional and for its innovative bumper design at the world championships in Houston, Texas.

Lua Deserializer

Mar 2022 - May 2023

I created a program that takes in Lua code, complies it, and deserializes the compiled output. This allows you to work with the internal structures of the Lua language, and can be used to view the compiled output or to build an obfuscator on top of the language. Used in my Lua Obfuscator.

Portfolio Website

I developed this website using Astro and Less, creating a fully responsive design and implementing SEO best practices for improved visibility on search engines.

Safe Water Operation

Sep 2023 - Apr 2024

As part of a small group, I developed an app to make water quality data easily accessible to everyone. The app shows data from the United States Geological Survey on a map to make it easy to tell the water quality in your area. This app won the congressional app challenge for NY01 and was presented to congress at the house of code event in April 2024.

SwoLib

May 2022 - Jan 2024

I created a library for programming FRC robots with a customizable swerve drive, swerve autonomous utilities, limelight utilities, and math classes for vectors and bezier curves. It's fully documented with Dokka and has full unit testing with JUnit, making it easy to use and reliable during competitions.

Good News Goose

Jan 2023 - Apr 2023

As programming lead, I programmed a robot for the FIRST Robotics Competition that had swerve drive, full odometry, dynamic autonomous mode, and a PID controlled arm. This allowed it to compete at the highest levels, earning it a spot in the world championships in Houston, Texas.

MiniSteve

Jan 2022 - Mar 2022

As programming lead, I coded an FRC robot with a custom swerve drive train, field orientation, PID controllers, full odometry, and a dynamic autonomous mode. These advanced features provide precise control, accurate tracking, and customizable movements for a strategic advantage during competitions.
