• Developed MIT Reality Hack event server using Python, Django DRF, PostgreSQL, WebSockets, and Docker, integrated with Lighthouse mentor hardware, to serve as backend for 500+ engineer yearly developer hackathon.
• Led design and release of ‘Lighthouse’ (open‑source hardware) in Python, C, Arduino, WebSockets, Embedded Linux, and Multicore Processing, a device to call mentors to tables, driving 180% increase in hackathon mentor participation.
• Created Rust‑powered PGP HSM signing CLI, replacing legacy GnuPG scripts and enhancing portability of cryptographic tooling to other Rust-based processes.
• Maintained Kindle2PDF and PDF2Remarkable library and CLI to convert Kindle books into portable PDFs using Python.
• Architected Sundog FPGA interface as a modern successor to MiSTer using VHDL and Verilog, to enable retro gamers to experience hardware-accurate behaviors with modern display interfaces for playing games from Magnavox Odyssey through Gamecube, achieving a 100% open development cycle on Linux boxes.
