This program was created to easily retrieve 10K documents from the SEC’s website. It works by inputting a company ticker and will retrieve and download the last five years of 10K documents from SEC.gov.

This program comes in two versions: the game version, and the no game version. The program displays a2D graphical dashboard of a car. It links to most modern racing games using a localhost based UDP protocol and retrieves all the current statistics of the game such as speed, RPM, pedal position, car telemetry, and compiles it onto a visual dashboard. The no game version will boot up and render a dashboard without requiring any input, while the other version has a launcher for you to choose a dashboard and launches with the game.

Coupled with the last program, this program compiles data from modern racing games the same way, but this UI is oriented more towards applications in a physical simulation. Therefore, the data is positional data that could be translated for use in actuators that mimic the movement of the car.

Controls: W, A, S, D to move around and mouse to pan the camera
This was my first attempt at rendering 3D points onto a 2D surface. I had several epiphanies during this time that led to a greater understanding of 3D graphics.
Language: C++
At last, I moved from Python into C++ to which I have remained to this day. After getting an understanding of basic 3D graphics concepts, I decided to move them over to C++. I learned to parse 3D object files and render them at the lowest level.

After my previous attempts in 3D graphics, I finally moved from the theory and into practice. This was the first time I stream-lined my OpenGL usage as well. This time I focused on memory management in terms of objects that needed to be rendered, as well as using polymorphism to expand the capabilities of the engine.
Language: Python
My interests during this part of my life drifted from programming into mathematics, then back to programming when I found a mathematical application for some programming. I made a simple python script to render fields defined by a differential equation, and used the created vector fields to simulate particles moving in a closed system.

Controls: Space to end turn
After doing 3D graphics for a while, I took a small break and started focusing my efforts on understanding an efficient architecture for a graphics engine (which is arguably the most important part). Thus came a basic architecture I continue to use for smooth animations.

I had too much fun doing the 2D graphing that I extended it in the 3D realm with my then second iteration of my 3D rendering engine I called Ansel. It allows you to make a 2D or 3D equation and graph it in a 3D environment as well as construct 3D shapes that are defined by equations.

Perceus is my ongoing project that is now in its third iteration. It is aimed to be a 3D Game Engine, but at the moment serves its purpose as a 3D rendering engine. The main selling point is its completely api-abstract architecture. The engine doesn’t have any popular rendering framework’s code built it. Instead it has a layer of abstraction that allows you to implement your own rendering api.
