Hello! My name, or psuedonym I guess, is Nukkel. A 17-year-old developer from the US.

I have been programming for 6 years and am currently interested in a variety of topics (see my pins) mostly oriented towards lower-level programming. Additionally, I am one of the programming leads for FRC 2046. The majority of my development happens in Rust, consequentially the programming language I am most experienced with, but I choose the best fitting toolset for a project regardless of language.

I have heavy interest in:

• Compilers and Programming Language Development
• GPU-related Programming (primarily with wgpu)
• Data Compression
• Robotics
• Performance

I have minor interest in:

• Distributed Systems
• AI (I don't know enough to specify further)

Right now I am working on mdns-impl. An implementation and exploration of the mdns/dns-sd protocol in pure rust to get more familiar with implementing specifications, creating libraries, and unit testing. This is a precursor for another project I am working on lanp2p2, a rewrite of a P2P TUI chat client I wrote prior last year. I am focused on learning as many new things as I can right now so I can familiarize myself with common practices in larger scale projects.
