PROJECTS

Note: For most of my career, my work (specifically my software/code) has been protected by IP, meaning I'm unable to share samples of my contributions to the codebases I've worked on. But wait! The projects below I either own myself, or are "sandbox" projects made to showcase my abilities as an engineer and creative professional.
