A few select projects...

• Physically Based Rendering Raytracer

  Work-in-progress reimplementation of the raytracer described in the book Physically Based Rendering (Pharr, Jakob, Humphreys). Originally described in C++, remade in Rust, with some significant redesigns to better fit Rust conventions (e.g. less inheritance), and some personal opinion. Long term personal project for learning Rust and PBR.

  Since it's a learning project, the goal is to eventually implement from scratch many of the low level internals like math structures, memory management, maybe concurrency, to replace and compare with existing crates. I started with the basic math library (Vec3, Transform, etc.)...which was probably one of the hardest to start with when it came to implementation design.

  Produced with my implementation. A few details: Simple path tracing integrator (max depth 5), independent sampler, Gaussian reconstruction filter, 400px × 400px, 256 samples/pixel

• Raft distributed consensus algorithm implementation (classwork)

  Implementation of the Raft algorithm, utilizing async I/O. Final project for Networks & Distributed Systems.

  Raft is a distributed algorithm for achieving consistency and partition/fault tolerance for systems with replicated state machines, via consensus. It's similar to but simpler than Paxos.

  Assignment was tested under simulated conditions over local instance processes and ports, but the code is ready for running over real networks.

• This site

  Mainly uses Astro, including some manual optimization features. Checked for accessibility with automatic tools and manual testing. CSS designed from scratch.

  

  

• Real-Time Physically Based Rendering (PBR) + GUI (classwork)

  Final project for Computer Graphics, similar to many of the OpenGL PBR demos out there, with the addition of a UI for playing around with mixing materials, material properties, models, etc.

• Secure Messaging Protocol (partner classwork)

  Design and implementation of a secure messaging system without the use of existing TLS functions, as well as analysis of the security properties of our and other teams' designs.

  Message content is sent P2P, while a central server is used for authentication and bootstrapping user discovery.

  An interesting detail was the issue of a malicious server possibly MitM-ing user-user key establishment, which we almost overlooked, and got a few other teams.
