I always wanted a self-contained single-page LLM-auditable implementation of Shamir's Secret Sharing scheme. So I made one. You can split a password into multiple shares and reconstruct it only when a sufficient number of shares are combined. Check it out here: shamir.rovder.com

This project started off as a joke/dare, when my colleagues said it's impossible, so naturally I had to do it... The Ethereum Gatling Gun is a contract wallet that enables its owner to send arbitrary amounts of arbitrary transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. Basically, a rapid-fire wallet. It allows for sending transactions hundreds of times faster at a fractional price (gas savings). Check out the Ethereum Gatling Gun operation page, the Medium article as well as the demo video.

This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when a bored programmer is stuck at home because of the Scottish weather. If you were ever wondering what the world-record largest maze ever generated is, you may now stop wondering and check out the story of its creation here. :)

As a part of the System Design Practical at The University of Edinburgh I made a football-playing robot. Being a combination of hardware, firmware, computer vision, and AI strategy, this course truly covered it all and was definitely one of the highlights of my uni time. More details here.

In 2018 I was mentoring students of the Machine Learning course at the University of Edinburgh. The lecturers love describing the mathematics behind neural networks and tend to gloss over what the fancy maths looks like in code. This frustrates engineers, so I decided to write a side-by-side maths-to-code implementation of a simple neural network and give it to my students. I think it demystified it sufficiently.
