Projects

Flagship projects that carry the strongest academic signal.

Primary Signal
Java Architecture Search

Gomoku Engine

Terminal Gomoku implementation structured for adversarial search rather than a monolithic game script.

  • Immutable search state designed for recursive exploration
  • Separation between gameplay, persistence, UI, and search layers
  • Evaluation abstraction prepared for Minimax / Alpha-Beta extension
  • Model → search conversion boundary through a dedicated factory

Flagship
Java B-Tree Databases

B-Tree Index Engine

Balanced indexing engine demonstrating how database systems organize and query large key-value datasets.

  • Insertion and node splitting with balanced tree maintenance
  • Prefix and interval queries beyond simple exact lookup
  • Indexing a real dataset of ~35k French municipalities
  • Direct demonstration of logarithmic search structure behavior

Flagship
Java Systems I/O

External Sorting Engine

Disk-based sorting engine built for datasets that exceed available memory.

  • Run generation under explicit memory constraints
  • Multi-way merge across disk fragments
  • CSV multi-column ordering comparable to database ORDER BY
  • Resource-aware algorithm design instead of RAM-only assumptions

Supporting Projects

Secondary projects that reinforce algorithmic and backend depth.

Investment Optimization

Python DP DAG

Capital allocation modeled as a time-indexed DAG and solved by dynamic programming with path reconstruction.

Complexity: O(n + m)

GitHub

Collaborative Task Backend

Django Backend Auth

Multi-user task system with explicit view-level authorization, team-based propagation, and relational modeling.

Focus: object-level permission logic

GitHub

Mini Compiler

Java ANTLR4 Compilation

Educational compiler implementing lexical analysis, parsing, semantic checks, and stack-machine code generation.

Target: MVaP virtual machine

GitHub

Travel Web Page

HTML CSS JavaScript

Framework-free front-end exercise with AJAX interactions and accessibility-oriented design.

Secondary signal, not a flagship project
