the programming page

my experience in Javascript and HTML has mainly come from building this website. see the about page for more info.

i have also spent a lot of time programming embedded systems for my rockets. i work with Arduino IDE and occasionally with command-line bootloaders like bossac. early on, my code mostly stuck to the setup() and loop() program flow, but over the years i have matured into using much more efficient interrupt-driven programming styles for my arduino projects, with the most notable of these being the code behind my chute release/altimeter system.

though i most often work in c in the context of arduino programming, i have done a couple of projects in pure c to achieve various tasks. my biggest to date is an image compression algorithm for the QOI image format. i am interested in eventually creating a video version of QOI. WIP.

i learned java for my AP CS-A class. i think it is ok. later, i learned about processing. i think it is really cool. i have used processing to visualize the data from an accelerometer, and i plan to make an info dashboard to view rocket telemetry in the future. the interactive scale on the archive page is made with p5.js, the Javascript version of Processing!
