OpenSource project:

• Transcendence This project involves creating a website for a Pong contest with real-time multiplayer games, integrated chat, and robust security. Utilizing NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, participants focus on user authentication, customization, and a responsive Pong game. Security measures include password hashing and protection against SQL injections. Submission is via Git, emphasizing precise file naming for evaluation.
• Webserv Nginx from scratch This project provides me with the opportunity to engage in the development of my own HTTP server. The objective is to create a server that can be tested with a real browser, allowing me to gain practical experience with one of the most prevalent protocols on the internet. Acquiring a comprehensive understanding of HTTP is essential, as it proves beneficial even if my professional focus is not primarily on website development.
• Inception This project is about showcasing my proficiency in system administration using Docker, as demonstrated through the successful completion of the 'Inception' project at 42 school. I independently crafted Docker containers for NGINX with TLS, WordPress with php-fpm, and MariaDB, adhering to strict project guidelines. This hands-on experience enabled me to master the utilization of Dockerfiles, Makefiles, and environment variables.
• Converse Landing Page Developed a responsive landing page for the Converse store using React, Vite, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS. The landing page is designed to seamlessly adjust its layout and content to provide an optimal viewing experience across various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
• SO_LONG This project is a very small 2D game. Its purpose is to make you work with textures, sprites, and some other very basic gameplay elements. using mlx 42 library. Being a developer is a great thing for creating your own game.
• Push_Swap This project will make you sort data on a stack, with a limited set of instructions, using the lowest possible number of actions. To succeed you’ll have to manipulate various types of algorithms and choose the most appropriate solution (out of many) for an optimized data sorting. I used radix algorithm.
• Philosophers I never thought philosophy would be so deadly This project is a training to multi-threads/multi-process programming with the use of mutex and semaphore. It contains 3 different programs simulating a twist of the famous Dining Philosophers problem, all with the same basic rules. This project is also a good lesson in C optimization as we need to save every bit of CPU usage we can to ensure the survival of our philosophers.
• Minishell This project is about creating a simple shell. Yes, your own little bash. You will learn a lot about processes and file descriptors MiniShell will introduce you to the world of shells, which provide a convenient text interface to interact with your system. Shells might seem very easy to understand but have very specific and defined behaviour in almost every single case, most of which will need to be handled properly.
