- Wrote a contouring algorithm for smooth maps in C.
Experience
COVID-19 Enrollment System
A Simple CRM in Python 3
Core Banking System Design
The software was decentralized with a focus on auditability, security, and authority. Auditability was achieved by using an executable event log of pseudonymized operations, security through strong cryptography on communication points, and authority through the RAFT consensus protocol.
