ALAN SELORMEY

Dynamic and eager Robotics Engineering Student at Aberystwyth University, looking to secure a placement so I can learn the ins and outs of production code and apply my own skills to them. I specialize in using general and system-level languages like C and Java. I'm familiar with Arduino, and Raspberry Pi's and have some knowledge of STM32 boards. I excel in innovating solutions like the usage of Custom data structures for lower latency on my text-editor project, demonstrating technical prowess and a continuous learning mindset.

Leadership demonstrated through the management of a team of 10 during the large cleanup at the 2023 FOSDEM

Effective Teamwork developed through the group collaboration of a presentation with 3 other students

Clear communication and competency are shown through tutoring other computer science students in C/C++

Problem-solving is developed through solving project creations and Leetcode problem-solving

Adaptability and Open-mindedness shown by swapping my website from C# to Go-lang for performance benefits

Personal Website: irlalan.net
• Personal website and blog showcasing projects I've made and anything else I find interesting. It uses Go-lang, HTMX, and templ, and runs on an AWS Ubuntu server instance.
Cross-platform C++ build and automation tool: gcreate
• A build tool like Cmake that is configurable through a config.toml file and can create/manage any C/C++ projects and will later be able to serialize into a Makefile. It is made entirely using Go-lang
Custom text editor
• A Custom modal text editor that’s GUI GPU-accelerated using SDL
Cellular automaton (Conway's Game of life, lenia)
• My attempt at making Conway's Game of Life and expanding it into a lenia cellular automata that uses continuous data instead of discrete which is what Conway's Game of Life uses.
C++ game engine framework: VEngine
• A Custom game framework to make voxels and voxel games. Using OpenGL API and GLM for linear algebra.
