CNC & Engineering

Watch us almost burn down the school with the CNC

Fortunately, nothing bad happened. We turned it off promptly. It would have been much safer if we had installed the emergency stop earlier, but we learned from our mistakes and added that soon after.

Rust blockchain

Passion project (bitcoin prototype)

Rust-powered Bitcoin-mock permissioned blockchain.

This was just a passion project during christmas break of my junior year (2024). GPT sucked then so i hand-wrote all of the code. It was incredibly inefficient and stupid (fork detection was O(n^2) time). I’m pretty proud of it.

Proof-of-work consensus with a mining algorithm similar to Bitcoin’s
Longest-chain validation and UTXO tracking
Peer-to-peer networking over raw TCP

AWS Solutions Architect Associate

Passed the cert first try (idk how bro 💀)

Anxiety

As testing day is a week away, I smile in sadness under the solemn rain, regretting my stupid choice of an AWS cert without any prior cloud experience.
