My tech bio

I am a budding software developer with proficiency in C and C++, along with rapidly growing knowledge of other languages including Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript. My background is in business administration. After gaining almost 3 years of work experience as a business analyst and then project manager, I decided to heavily focus on tech and joined the 42 Network to immerse myself in the world of software engineering.

Projects

Some projects I have written blog posts about:

More projects:

FdF - Wireframe Renderer
A graphics project written in C. The program renders wireframe models from height maps, creating a 3D visualization through various projection techniques.
Philosophers - Multithreading in C
The program simulates the classic "Dining Philosophers Problem" that illustrates synchronization issues in concurrent programming.
