This page preserves a selection of computer science projects completed during my Computer Science degree program at Oregon State University. The projects cover algorithms, systems programming, optimization, software testing, and object-oriented design.
Although these projects predate my current focus on data engineering, they reflect the engineering foundations I continue to apply today: problem solving, software design, debugging, performance analysis, and building reliable systems.
Coursework projects demonstrating algorithms, systems programming, optimization techniques, software testing methodologies, and object-oriented design principles.
A Unix shell implementation written in C supporting command execution, foreground and background processes, and signal handling.
A text-based adventure game written in C++ that demonstrates object-oriented programming concepts including inheritance, polymorphism, and dynamic game behavior.
A C++ object-oriented adventure game demonstrating inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic memory management, and modular class design.
The project implemented a three-dimensional game board, interactive gameplay mechanics, and object-based entities using core object-oriented programming principles.
A team project analyzing multiple algorithmic approaches to the coin change problem, including brute force, divide-and-conquer, greedy, and dynamic programming solutions.
A team optimization project developing high-performance solutions to the Traveling Salesperson Problem. The implementation achieved the fastest runtime on 3 of 7 benchmark test cases using Cheapest Link and 2-Opt optimization algorithms.
A Java-based testing project involving manual testing, input partitioning, and automated validation of the Apache Commons URL Validator.
