PwnOS: Your Own Operating System

PwnOS: Your Own Operating System

This is my most adventurous and most exciting project. Together with 3 colleagues, we are developing an OS designed to be optimal for High-Performance Computing and to be easy for others to modify. Good organization and documentation are key.

Inventor IDE

Inventor IDE

In an effort to finally have a low-level software development system that has the built-in capabilities I need, I've made my own. It's come a long way in the short time its been in development, and it should be ready for beta in the summer of 2009

Past Projects

Visualizing Higher-Dimensional Data

Visualizing Higher-Dimensional Data

People who've had to work with data in more dimensions than 3 know that there are few good options for viewing that data. This gives a way of viewing certain types of data in up to 12 dimensions, especially to analyse exponential solution spaces and how algorithms search them. This was my project for the Computational Geometry course at Carleton University.

Java Game Editor

Java Game Editor

This was a handy editor and engine for creating 2D tile-based games in Java. I haven't posted it online since it hasn't been a priority and I haven't worked on it in a long time, but if anyone really wants it, I'd be glad to post it; just send me an email.

Synchronization

Synchronization

The plan with this project was to have synchronization of files and program settings between devices, computers, and the internet. Unless I get requests for it, I'll probably save it for when Inventor IDE has some settings to synchronize.
