Featured Public Projects

Reach out to me via LinkedIn if you'd like to see my private repos. I'd be more than happy to walk through my active projects in a screen share. They are focused on much more complex applications and architecture using .NET, Blazor, Web API's, SvelteKit, and an iOS application using Swift & SwiftUI.

Subnautica Mod

Reverse Engineering

A very basic cheat mod menu created for Subnautica. This was to start expanding on C# and .NET while I also continued my knowledge for reverse engineering.

Typeracer Bot

Python Scripting

This is a python script that I created for the Typeracer website. It not only solves races but also uses an OCR API so that it can automatically solve challenges. This allows a fully automated bot that can go from account creation, to login, to completing races and finishing challenges so it can post its score on the leaderboards.

Private Projects

These are a quick summary of a few projects that I'm actively working on (as time permits) but do not have open source code for. If you would like to see some of the code, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn.

eCommerce REST Web API

This is a self-serve eCommerce web API with a web application for configurable user settings. While I cannot get into details on the functionality, the overall gist of the API is to be a one-stop solution for companies trying to combat fraud. This is going to be done in a variety of ways over time and ideally create a large network that leverages shared intelligence, advanced analytics, and real-time data to proactively identify and prevent fraudulent activities. By enabling seamless integration and customizable controls, the goal of the platform aims to empower businesses of all sizes to protect their transactions, reduce risk, and foster trust with their customers.

iOS Fitness App

This is my first mobile application I've put some serious amount of work into and I figured I'm crazy enough to run with iOS. Mostly because I want to actually be able to use the app myself, but I also like to give myself very difficult challenges and prove that I can overcome any sort of obstacle in my way. The app is being built on Swift and SwiftUI which is brand new to me causing a very lengthy amount of development time being spent on research and learning of the UI framework and Swift language. I plan to add some unique features that will separate it from your typical fitness app and this is where my experience can shine. The backend is being built in .NET and communication occurs between a REST API for secure server sided validations.

Self Hostable Admin CP

This self-hostable admin control panel is a solution for those who have homelabs and want to be able to access all of their services and docker containers in one location. The app will support a variety of self-hostable services that are common and utilize their APIs to access them. It will also support a user to add their own servers' SSH details. It supports either private keys to be added or regular login credentials for the SSH details. Even though this is meant to be self-hosted in a secure homelab environment, security is still a top priority. Authentication is handled through ASP.NET Identity and any sensitive data being added such as SSH details is encrypted through Microsoft's Data Protection solution.
