Portfolio
Systems programming projects from 42 School and personal exploration. Mostly C and C++, focused on understanding how things actually work under the hood.
42 School · Codam Amsterdam
42's project-based curriculum focuses on building things from scratch — no libraries, no shortcuts. These are the projects that shaped how I think about systems programming.
Docker · System Administration
Built a complete virtual infrastructure using Docker Compose: NGINX reverse proxy, WordPress application, and MariaDB database — all containerised, networked, and configured from scratch without using pre-built Docker Hub images. Enhanced understanding of container orchestration, service isolation, and production-style web server setup.
HTTP/1.1 Server · C++
Collaborated in a team to write an HTTP/1.1-compliant web server in C++ from the ground up. Responsible for implementing the Python CGI system (Common Gateway Interface) and the automatic directory index generation — both of which required deep understanding of the HTTP spec, forking, and pipe-based IPC.
Bash-like Shell · C
Built a functional Bash-like shell from scratch in C. Implements a lexer, parser, and executor for commands including pipes, redirections, environment variables, and built-in commands (cd, echo, export, unset, env, exit). Deepened understanding of how shells work at the process and file-descriptor level.
