▌OFF THE CLOCK

low-level rituals performed off-hours · hobby specialization tree

Away form the day job, I like getting closer to the metal. C/C++, OpenGL, manual memory management, writing shaders, and reimplementing things the hard way — because understanding what the abstraction hides makes you dangerous at every level of the stack.

▌ SIDE QUESTS

optional dungeons · built for the craft of it

▶ TERMINAL ALGORITHM VISUALIZER

JAVA / NO UI FRAMEWORK / TEMPLATE·STATE·FACADE PATTERNS

A terminal-rendered visualizer for sorting, maze generation and pathfinding algorithms — no external UI framework, all rendering handled directly in the terminal. Runs live below via a ttyd + Docker session streamed straight to your browser.

▶ BOOT LIVE TERMINAL GITHUB SOURCE
ttyd://docker — live sessionscreen may flicker over network — that's the terminal repainting, not a bug

▶ ContraJS — PLAYABLE

VANILLA JAVASCRIPT / NO ENGINE / NO LIBRARIES

A browser platformer recreating classic Contra gameplay through level one — written from scratch in vanilla JS. Physics, sprites, collision, game loop: everything hand-rolled.

▶ PLAY IN BROWSER

▶ Contra: Java Edition — IN PROGRESS

JAVA / LWJGL (OPENGL) / REINFORCEMENT LEARNING FROM SCRATCH

Rebuilding ContraJS from JS into Java using OpenGL, with reinforcement learning implemented from scratch — every library written by hand so the AI learns to play the game itself. Multiplayer support planned along the way.
