BRANDENRIVERA.

A single-file database engine in C17 that stores rows in 4 KB pages behind a page cache, indexed by a B+ tree that grows to any height for O(log n) inserts, lookups, updates, and deletes.

Made every write crash-safe with a redo write-ahead log, ordered fsync commits, and replay on restart. Added CRC-32 page checksums, request-ID idempotency, a single-writer file lock, and begin/commit/rollback transactions; verified with 170+ tests, kill -9 crash cases, reference-model randomized testing, and AddressSanitizer/UBSan fuzzing.

An LLM coding agent that executes multi-step software tasks through structured Read, Write, Delete, and Bash tools using an iterative tool-calling loop with runtime and execution limits.

Created an 18-task evaluation harness comparing three models across six task categories. The FastAPI and SQLite application persists conversations, handles provider fallback, explains routing decisions, and includes 62 automated tests.

A serverless AWS pipeline that ingests new Parquet files from a public Deadlock match data lake each hour and publishes per-hero win rate, pick rate, and match-length statistics.

Added DuckDB deduplication, late-data coverage rules, and pre-publish validation; delivered a React/TypeScript dashboard with Wilson-confidence hero tiers and trend charts through private S3 and CloudFront, with infrastructure defined in Terraform.

A Pokémon Showdown project centered on a FlyWire-derived fruit-fly connectome. The model will encode battle states, propagate sparse neural activity through a biologically constrained network, and decode legal moves and switches.

The initial milestone is behavior cloning recorded Gen 1 OU decisions, comparing the connectome-constrained policy with control topologies, and visualizing battle and neural telemetry in a web interface.
