A mix of public and private work. Some of the more interesting things are under NDA or still in progress.
C
AirLang: Aviation DSL Compiler
A programming language and compiler built from scratch for aviation flight planning. You write a route in AirLang, the compiler checks your weight and balance, validates fuel against performance tables, pulls live weather, and flags anything that would violate ICAO rules all before anything runs.
- Seven-phase pipeline from lexer to code generation, fully in C
- Native support for aviation units, waypoints, alternates, and NOTAMs
- v3.0 has an embedded runtime for executing plans directly
Ada
ATC Radar Simulator
A real-time air traffic control simulator written in Ada. It tracks aircraft positions, enforces ICAO horizontal and vertical separation standards, accounts for wake turbulence categories, and generates resolution advisories when conflicts are detected. Written in Ada specifically because the concurrency model and strong typing make the correctness constraints easier to express.
- Live conflict detection with automatic resolution advisory output
- Wake turbulence enforcement by aircraft weight category
- ASCII radar display with flight phase annotation

RVR-Modbus: Runway Visibility Service
A service that reads Runway Visual Range from a serial-connected sensor, applies a light intensity correction factor, and publishes the adjusted visibility value over Modbus TCP. Runs on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an ATmega2560 handling the sensor side. Containerized and working on deploying it on k3s.
- Modbus TCP server with clean register layout for client polling
- Handles serial communication, ambient light correction, and protocol translation in one service
- Containerized with Docker, imported into k3s via containerd after resolving image import issues

AirPeek: Runway Incursion Detection
A small device that receives live ADS-B traffic on a Pi Zero, cross-references it with NAV CANADA open aeronautical data, and drives an ESP32 display. Built around a gap the TSB identified in its 2025 Watchlist on ground movement safety.
- ADS-B decoding, custom alerting logic on top
- NAV CANADA open data for runway geometry and threshold positions
- There's more to this than the description covers reach out if you are intrested or work in this space

IrisPathQ: Quantum Route Optimizer
The implementation side of the IrisPathQ paper. A hybrid QAOA and A* system that searches flight route alternatives under real operational constraints. Airspace structure, weather exposure, and traffic density are all encoded into the quantum cost function.
- QAOA layers built with Qiskit, classical A* handles the initial candidate generation
- Outperforms greedy routing baseline across multi-flight test scenarios
C++ · Arduino
Aircraft Monitoring System
An embedded monitoring system on Arduino tracking aircraft state, control inputs, and ground communication. MPU6050 for attitude, IR remote for control, RFID for operator authentication, all feeding into a Node-RED dashboard over serial.
- Sensor fusion across IMU, temperature, and motion inputs
- Node-RED dashboard integration for real-time visualization

The Contrail Case
A desk ADS-B tracker built into an enclosure. An ESP32 polls adsb.fi for live overhead aircraft and scrolls the data across a 1602A LCD. Mostly just a fun build, but it runs 24/7 on my desk.

ATOM Flight Computer
Custom flight computer for model rocketry featuring sensor fusion, active stabilization, and real-time telemetry. ESP32 S3-based system with IMU integration, thermal imaging (MLX90640), and servo-controlled fin stabilization for flight control.
- Sensor fusion across IMU, barometer, and thermal imaging inputs
- Real-time servo control for active fin stabilization during flight
- Telemetry logging and post-flight analysis support

Project NorthStar Interactive App
A bilingual interactive web app for the C-54GM NorthStar restoration project at Project North Star Association of Canada. Visitors can explore the aircraft through a clickable SVG diagram with 845 individually mapped paths, and view a Three.js 3D model of the aircraft.
- 845-path SVG with click-to-identify part lookup
- Full English/French bilingual interface
- Three.js 3D viewer converted from source model files
C
AeroC: Aviation Booking Language
A domain-specific language for Global Distribution System (GDS) operations. Parser and interpreter for airline booking workflows, covering passenger reservations, fare rules, and seat inventory. Designed to show how DSL principles apply outside of technical domains and into aviation commerce.
- Custom lexer and recursive descent parser for GDS command syntax
- Interpreter evaluates booking transactions and validates against fare constraints
Java · Swing · SQLite
Quantum Circuit Simulator
An interactive desktop app for building and simulating quantum circuits, built with Java Swing. Supports gate-by-gate circuit construction, qubit measurement simulation, and histogram visualization of output state probabilities.
- Client-server architecture with SQLite for persisting circuit designs and user sessions
- Supports standard gates (H, X, Y, Z, CNOT) with live state vector updates
