\resumeSubHeadingListStart

\resumeProjectHeading
{\textbf{Trading Bot Operator} $|$ \emph{Rust, Kubernetes, kube-rs, Axum, SQLite, OpenAPI, tokio, Docker}}{2025 (Active)}
\resumeItemListStart
\resumeItem{Built a Kubernetes operator in Rust (kube-rs) that manages the full lifecycle of trading bot deployments via Custom Resource Definitions, creating and cleaning up Deployments, ConfigMaps, and Services}
\resumeItem{Designed a declarative risk management API embedded in the CRD spec (position size caps, daily loss limits, stop-loss thresholds), making risk parameters version-controlled and auditable via \texttt{kubectl}}
\resumeItem{Exposed a full CRUD REST API for an Asset Registry backed by SQLite, with OpenAPI 3.0 docs auto-generated from Rust type annotations via utoipa; credentials sourced from Kubernetes Secrets at reconcile time}
\resumeItemListEnd
\vspace{-13pt}

\resumeProjectHeading
{\textbf{Ecosim} $|$ \emph{Rust, Bevy, ECS, WASM}}{2025 (Active)}
\resumeItemListStart
\resumeItem{Developing a planet-scale ecosystem simulator in Bevy supporting multiple gameplay modes (invasive species spread, planet terraforming, competitive biomass racing)}
\resumeItem{Designed a type-safe hierarchical state machine where invalid state transitions are unrepresentable at compile time}
\resumeItem{Architected all subsystems for determinism (seeded RNGs, BTreeMaps, explicit system ordering) to enable peer-to-peer multiplayer with no dedicated server}
\resumeItemListEnd
\vspace{-13pt}

\resumeProjectHeading
{\textbf{Procedural Generation Engine} $|$ \emph{Rust, Bevy, ECS, H3}}{2025 (Active)}
\resumeItemListStart
\resumeItem{Built a planet-scale hexagonal grid engine using Uber's H3 library (resolution 0--15, up to billions of cells), with no pole singularities and uniform neighbour distances across the sphere}
\resumeItem{Implemented adaptive LOD: cells refine into 7 children or coarsen to a parent based on camera proximity, driven by a custom ECS schedule decoupled from the render loop}
\resumeItem{Designed a trait-based \texttt{Simulation} interface so ecosystem models are swappable in one line; simulation data preserved across LOD transitions via aggregate/subdivide patterns}
\resumeItemListEnd
\vspace{-13pt}

\resumeProjectHeading
{\textbf{GPU Shaders} $|$ \emph{Rust, Rust-GPU, SPIR-V, Vulkan, H3}}{2025}
\resumeItemListStart
\resumeItem{Implemented SPIR-V vertex and fragment shaders in Rust using Rust-GPU, generating H3 hexagonal cell boundaries entirely on the GPU from a list of cell indices with no mesh data uploaded from the CPU}
\resumeItem{Forked the \texttt{h3o} crate into \texttt{h3o\_noalloc} for \texttt{no\_std}/no-allocator SPIR-V: replaced heap allocations with fixed-size arrays, a 20-bit bitmap for face sets, and \texttt{u64} scratchpad iterators}
\resumeItem{Resolved the absence of 64-bit transcendentals in Vulkan SPIR-V by writing a compile-time-selected math backend that casts \texttt{f64} to \texttt{f32} for GPU intrinsics while maintaining a unified cross-target interface}
