• Systems programming: hands-on experience in C++, C, Python, and JavaScript, focused on system-level programming and software architecture.
  • Projects: builds modular, layered applications from scratch, including a desktop staff management system (C++, Qt6, SQLite) and a custom game engine covering rendering, AI behavior, and event systems.
  • Technical practice: applies data structures, memory management, and design by contract principles to write maintainable, testable code.
  • Leadership: led 5S implementation across a 2 million square foot facility, reducing downtime by 20%.
