Projects:

Dynamic Meets Static | GitHub | Paper

Constructed a compiler for a statically typed variant of Lua, enabling the ahead-of-time compilation of Lua programs into executables.
Achieved execution times at least three times faster than the standard Lua interpreter.
Ensured programs written in this Lua variant required minimal modifications to be compatible with existing Lua implementations.

Truncate | GitHub

Implemented a URL shortener using Angular for the front-end and Go for the back-end.
Integrated third-party authentication via Auth0, enabling users to log in and manage their shortened links
Deployed the application using Docker Compose, with separate containers for the web server and database, allowing them to be managed independently.

Languages Map | GitHub | Site

Worked with Angular and Leaflet to develop a website that visualizes where different languages are spoken around the world.
Created a responsive UI using Bootstrap, meaning the website looks good while being easy to use on both desktop and mobile devices.

Recipify | GitHub | Devpost

Collaborated with 3 teammates to develop a website that enables you to search for recipes and recommends you a playlist to go with the recipe you choose.
Used Python to access a REST API to search for recipes, and Flask to display this information on a web page, allowing the user to see a list of recipes to choose from.

Images from Images | GitHub | Devpost

Utilised OpenCV and other Python libraries to develop parts of an image processing pipeline to resize and colour images, so that they could be stitched together to create a different image.
