Projects
CodeForge
CodeForge on GitHub
CodeForge is a platform designed to compile, run, and verify code across multiple programming languages. Using Docker containers to ensure that code execution is both secure. The platform is useful for educational environments, coding demos. Its containerized architecture allows for easy integration of new languages and verification tools. It was completely vibe coded.
PDF Scan
PDF Scan Automation on GitHub
PDF Scan is a project that streamlines the organization of physical mail and documents. It processes batches of scanned documents, automatically detecting where to split them into individual files, straightening pages, and performing OCR to extract text. This tool reduces manual effort in digitizing and archiving paperwork. It is especially helpful for personal and small office use. It was partially vibe coded.
Autoproof Docker
Autoproof Docker on GitHub
This project provides a Docker image for running AutoProof, a static verifier for Eiffel programs. By containerizing AutoProof, the setup process becomes straightforward and platform-independent. Users can quickly verify Eiffel programs without worrying about complex dependencies. The Docker image is ideal for researchers and educators working with formal verification.
Evolution Showcase
Evolution Showcase on GitHub
Evolution Showcase is a small Python game that visually demonstrates the principles of evolution and natural selection. In the game, agents exhibit random behaviors, but over time, those best suited to the environment are selected, resulting in non-random strategies. The project serves as an educational tool for illustrating evolutionary algorithms and emergent behavior.
OpenSCAD Phone Stand
OpenSCAD Phone Stand on GitHub
This project features a customizable 3D model of a phone stand, created using OpenSCAD. The design is fully parameterized, allowing users to adjust dimensions to fit any mobile phone model. It is ideal for 3D printing enthusiasts.
