I am a software engineer with experience in software development, reverse engineering, and simulation design. I am experienced with C#, Unity, SILAB, Java, C, Python, Arduino, and more.
My main open source project is collaborating with an international team of reverse engineers to manually decompile a retro videogame's MIPS assembly code into C for preservation purposes. I also collaborated with a team of hobbyist game developers to modify a pre-existing project in order to include our original ideas, and assets.
My strength is coming up with creative and effective solutions to problems and realising them in a timely and professional manner. I'm always looking for new tools and projects to indulge myself in and learn from.
