About

Hello! My name is John and I am a current senior in the George Mason Honors College studying computer science. I have been programming for quite a while now.. years. I started programming a long time ago making games in Scratch, then I eventually moved on to Python, then Javascript, then C, you get the picture. While I find low-level programming the most interesting (specifically compiler design!) I try to give myself a diverse skill-set.

I have worked with tons of programming languages and tools including C/C++, Python, Javascript/Typescript, Java, Assembly (x86 and MIPS), Ada, LLVM, Fortran (90), Julia (I love Julia.. wish I could find more use cases for it), APL, Uiua, R, Forth, and even some Mercury. I am very familiar with linux.. as one would hope for someone of my background.. On my windows (ew) computer I spend most of my time in Ubuntu WSL and I daily drive NixOs for my chud 2009 desktop.

Beyond software development, I also have experience in video editing, graphic design, photography, 3d modeling, and probably some other things I'm forgetting. I can say for sure though that my greatest interests lie in low-level programming (specifically compilers and programming languages). I love compilers so much.. they are so cool.

I have a YouTube channel (which I'm pretty proud of!) where I showcase the things I do. You can find important links below!

Technical Skills

Languages: C++, C, JavaScript, Typescript, Java, Assembly (x86 & MIPS), Python, Bash, HTML, CSS, SQL, R, Julia, (LLVM? idk it's an IR), Ada, EBNF, APL, Uiua, Fortran, Forth, Haskell, LISP (clisp), Mercury, Vimscript, YAML, XML, BASIC (I wrote a tiny basic interpreter and a raymarcher for it.. that has to count for something?), BrainF*ck?? (Topolang and UNIBL but those were designed by me so I don't think they count)

Technologies: Linux, OpenGL, ncurses, GLM, FTXUI, Bash scripting, WebSockets, APIs, Regex & Parsing, Node.js, Compilers & Language Processing, QEmu, Valgrind, GDB, Tmux, Ghidra, vim, those are all I can think of for now

Tools: Git, ffmpeg, CMake, Blender, Photoshop, Davinci Resolve, Virtual Machines, Agentic Coding

Beyond Code

Outside of programming, I have experience in robotics, engineering, and hands-on hardware projects. I enjoy blending software and hardware to create innovative solutions and constantly seek new ways to refine my skills and explore emerging technologies.
