Recent Projects
Ongoing
A personal website to host a more detailed CV and a list of projects I'm proud of. It's built from scratch to present a detailed CV and list of my projects in a way I find visually appealing.
It's designed specifically to work well on desktop and mobile, and with (nearly) full functionality even with JavaScript disabled. It allows me to send sensitive information in separate requests verified by reCAPTCHA.
December 2021
A Minecraft server hosted on a Linux EC2 instance, a cloud computing service offered by AWS. Multiple other AWS components work together to start and stop the server on command, saving money and offering more flexibility than off-the-shelf solutions.
More projects to come!
