I co-wrote limchess with a friend of mine for UNC Chapel Hill’s Comp 580 (Enabling Technology). The project is mostly JavaScript and leans heavily on jQuery to bring chess to the accessible world of limited-input devices. (I haven’t done anything with node, but I think this still counts.)
For AP Computer Science (high school), I implemented a game called “Baffles” in Java. One shoots lasers into a grid and guesses where in the grid are located “mirrors” that deflect the laser.
I also wrote a compiler for a subset of Java in Java. So much Java…
There’s more: check out prolog-java.
During my time in a pilot for Principles of Programming, I built a git terminal and web client in Clojure. The previous year, I wrote a simulator for a type of computer called “Intcode” in Standard ML (in addition to a bunch of other small programs).
I also built loner, an LL(1) checker and context-free-grammar library, in Scala.
I’m working on a formal-languages library and application in Clojure, and I have a few more ideas for which SML or Haskell might be well-suited.
I recently wrote smlnj-parser-style, a small static-analysis library for UNC’s Comp 524 (Programming Language Concepts).
I wrote many MIPS programs for Comp 411 at UNC Chapel Hill (Computer Organization).
I recently wrote a MIPS interpreter in MIPS for Comp 541 (Digital Logic). More information on mips2 on GitHub.
I proudly present the Frosthaven Manager, a cross-platform desktop application for managing scenarios during the legacy game Frosthaven. While it is functional, there are many more feature to build!
While at CapitalOne, I wrote a small language to generate necessary documents for database migrations my team performed. I wrote a larger language that combined general-purpose programming with a specific (HTTP/S) API to make controlling Kafka clusters easier.
I wrote a Lisp interpreter in Java for UNC Chapel Hill’s Comp 524 (Programming Language Concepts). Previously, I wrote a compiler for a subset of Java (also in Java) for Comp 520 (Compilers).
I have grander plans, though.

It’s on my reading list this summer.
Where do I start? I’ll leave my projects for reference, and call loner one of my earliest “good” ones. Loner deals with the LL(1) computation on contex-free grammars.
While my contributions to Roslyn probably count here too (they were a patch), I
figured I would highlight another small contribution that resulted in a new
feature: I added a new prompt placeholder to
gitsh.
There it is, my first “real” open-source contribution. I had been lurking in the Roslyn team’s commits and issues for a while—at the time, I was very interested in the new C# compiler—and I discovered and fixed an issue with the use of shell variables. Veterans will likely recognize the quoting issue being resolved.
I became a maintainer of dracula/vim, which I consider to be a significant open-source project. That doesn’t mean there won’t be others though :).
I presented becoming a git wizard to the Pearl Hacks 2020 Hackathon. It was my attempt to bring git to a beginner-friendly environment and explore the core concepts (immutable trees of information, collaboration, etc.) in a practical way.
I presented a lightning talk on Vim to other CapitalOne TDPs.
I also presented a lightning talk on the importance of Git commit messages; specifically, I advocated for details about why changes are being made.
