RTTF Risk Hot/Full List Generators

Modular risk and passive DNS correlation engine built in Rust. The real-time risk generators are the first production-grade use of Rust at DT, capable of churning through ~650k Kafka messages per second to produce customer-facing risk data.

JuiceBox

PIC/FLIP fluid simulation built using Rust with the Bevy game engine. Utilizes a MAC grid for velocity computation, a hashmap for particle collision detection, and batched sprite rendering for visual effects.

WHOIS

Hello! I've written a few softwares, played in a few bands, and gone on a few tours. I enjoy jamming with new musicians, as well as hiking, climbing, biking, and cooking!

In June of 2024, I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a BS in Computer Science, and a few quarters on the Dean's list 😊.
