University Projects
DevOps Project (IBM Collaboration)
2025
Team leader for a project integrating CI/CD principles and containerized deployment. Applied Agile methodologies, version
control (Git), and collaborative tools for iterative progress and quality delivery. Gained practical experience with automation, code
integration, and testing pipelines.
Intrusion Detection System (IDS)
2025-2026
Developed an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as part of my Bachelor's Thesis, using a hybrid network-based approach that
combines traditional detection techniques with machine learning. The packet capture and parsing components along with the
signature engine are implemented in C++ for maximum performance, while the machine learning pipeline is developed in
Python, targeting deployment on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Personal Projects
Game Development with Unity
2020-2024
Designed and developed several games using the Unity Engine and C#, applying object-oriented programming principles and
Unity's component-based architecture to build reusable and scalable systems. Implemented gameplay logic, UI, animation, physics, and save systems while improving skills in software architecture, debugging, performance optimization, and iterative development
with Git.
Custom C++ Game Engine and Native Game Development
2026-Present
Developing a reusable 2D game engine in modern C++ with a focus on modularity, extensibility, and clean software architecture.
Alongside the engine, I develop games directly in C++ using SDL3, exploring low-level graphics programming and engine design by
implementing core systems such as rendering, input handling, asset management, scene management, and collision detection. This
includes standalone projects, such as recreating Flappy Bird entirely within a single main. cpp file to deepen my understanding of
game architecture without relying on a full engine.
