Hi! I'm John, a software engineer who specializes in embedded systems.

fn projects() {

  • KeylayRust

    Keylay is a tool that can be deployed on your network that allows users to use keywords to jump to different URLs on your intranet or the Internet. It showcases my experience with professional development standards including testing, containerization, documentation, reproducibility, and heavy use of CI/CD.

  • MetamorpherRust

    This is a tool used to convert data into metadata! Basically it takes an input file and creates a directory structure full of empty files with a Base64 encoded representation of the input data in the filenames. I even had an article published on Hackernoon about it! If you happen to use Arch Linux, you can also find metamorpher in the AUR.

  • RCC: The Remote C CompilerC

    This is a project from school that I enjoyed quite a bit. It's a tool for shipping source code over the network to more powerful build servers so you can still use your low-power device's IDE, etc. There's also an accompanying whitepaper.

  • Nanos G20 Guide

    The Nanos G20 is an older ARM single-board-computer that I worked with in the past. This repository stores some (probably dated) guides, code, and configurations for embedded developers targeting this platform.

  • This Website!Rust, HTML/CSS

    This website is written in plain HTML, CSS, and a Rust web framework called Rocket. Putting it together was a great learning experience for me, and I got the chance to leverage a (primarily) systems programming language for the web! I also used Skeleton for a lot of the HTML/CSS boilerplate. It's also packaged as a ~35 MB container image and deployed on Kubernetes!

  • U-Boot ContributionC

    In the defense industry, it's very difficult to get open source contributions through company bureaucracy and into the public domain. Despite this challenge, since open source software is important to me and the business case for re-contribution is very strong, I fought to get this patch into upstream U-Boot! The patch also serves as a good example of my low-level C experience.

  • Advent of CodeRust

    Advent of Code is an annual, Christmas-themed coding challenge that I learned about in 2018. The solutions I've implemented are all in Rust. This challenge is one of the primary ways I learned the language!

  • Project EulerC, C++, Rust, Bash, Java

    Project Euler is a programming challenge more heavily focused on mathematics. I've written solutions in several different languages which helped develop my understanding of how to leverage different languages' strengths and solve problems idiomatically.

fn contact(guess: &str) -> ContactInfo {

In an effort to reduce spam emails and phone calls, I implemented a little "completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart" (a.k.a. CAPTCHA)!

To see my contact information, enter the third word in the following quote (refresh to get a new one):

Machines certainly can solve problems, store information, correlate,
and play games -- but not with pleasure.
		-- Leo Rosten

Note: word is whitespace-delimited with punctuation included.


Of course, if this was important, I'd use an industry-accepted CAPTCHA system, but this is way more fun! Also, thanks to fortune for generating the quote!
