Designed and implemented a modular rendering engine with a Vulkan backend.
Developed abstractions for device management, swapchain handling, and rendering pipelines, with focus on performance and extensibility.
Built a bottom-up parser with manually defined action and goto tables.
Implemented grammar reduction logic and structured error handling comparable to modern compilers.
Developed a scalable web application with a modular backend and relational database integration.
Implemented authentication, authorization, and service-based data handling with focus on maintainability and extensibility.
Analyzed physiological signals and explored machine learning approaches for classification tasks.
Focused on preprocessing, segmentation, and feature extraction pipelines.
