Projects

Amp Simulator VST Plugin | 2023

Repositories: Codom/CLAP Tutorial & Codom/SimpleGuitarAmp

Created an Amp Simulator VST plugin using the CLAP API, loadable in DAWs like Bitwig.

• Implemented a Biquad Transfer Function to accurately simulate the complex filters found in a typical Fender pre-amp.
• Features functional parameter knobs and digital distortion simulation.
• Abstracted c ABI into a more ergonomic trait system

liballoc (C Library) | 2022

Repository: Codom/liballoc

Designed and implemented a custom, robust allocator interface in a single C header file, loosely based on Zig’s allocator interface.

• Allows for trivial dependency injection of memory management behavior.
• Provides implementations for libc, a custom arena allocator, and a fixed linear allocator.
• Optionally integrates with ASAN (AddressSanitizer) by utilizing memory poisoning functions for superior debugging of use-after-free bugs.

Godot KanBan Board | 2021

Built a multi-project KanBan board utilizing the Godot scene system.

• Implemented serialization to disk via JSON for persistent project state management.

Vulkan Tutorial Implementation | 2021

Repository: Codom/Vulkan-Tutorial

Completed a C++ implementation of the official Vulkan-Tutorial to master modern graphics API concepts.

• Developed a high-level C++ wrapper around verbose Vulkan functions to manage render primitives and render passes more efficiently.
