DESCRIPTION

I am currently studying Computer Science at Stellenbosch University, and am currently in my third year.

I have a massive love for Software Development (specifically lower level systems) and the GNU/Linux ecosystem. I am an advocate of the FOSS movement, and believe in it's ideals.

Primary skills include programming in C (langauge of choice), bash (scripting), python, java. I am proficient in backend web development (either in C, java or python) as well as working with databases.

WORK EXPERIENCE

  At/for Stellenbosch University

I have tutored and or "demi'd" multiple courses for SU, those including,

    • First Year Mathematics

    • Second Year Computer Science

SELECTED ARTIFACTS

These projects are hosted on a private repository, since many of these projects are re-used by SU, and hence must be hosted privetly to prevent students from plagiarising.

If you are interested in viewing these, please send me an email, and I can provide you with a .tar of the project.

  ALAN Compiler

ALAN is a pascal like langauge, and my second year Computer Science project was to write a compiler for the ALAN language, for more information feel free to read the spec. The compiler is written in C.

  Othello Bot
This project was to create a bot to play the game Othello, the bot makes use of a negamax trea search with alpha beta pruning to find optimal moves. Written in C, using MPI API.
