A chess lab: a game that proves itself, an AI that teaches itself
Chess is rare among programs in that the hardest part has an exact answer: the number of legal move sequences from a position to a given depth is a published constant, so a move generator is either exactly right or it is not. This game's engine matches those reference counts across more than ten million positions, with castling, en passant, promotion, and every draw rule implemented. On top of it sits a classical AI built from negamax search with alpha-beta pruning, a quiescence search so it stops misjudging captures at the edge of its sight, and a material plus piece-square evaluation, behind an SFML interface with drag-and-drop pieces, a promotion picker, and a board that flips when you play Black. The repository's second half learns the game the opposite way: an AlphaZero-style policy-value network trains purely from self-play with Monte Carlo tree search on a single GPU, gated like AlphaGo Zero, and is measured against a fixed ladder that includes the very alpha-beta engine it shares the repository with.
Uptime & SLO Monitor
A self hosted service that probes live endpoints on a schedule, records latency and availability in Postgres, and serves this public status page. It computes availability and latency SLIs over rolling windows, tracks error budget burn against per service objectives, and fires multi window multi burn rate alerts so a fast burn pages immediately while a slow burn only warns.
Commit-level benchmark dashboard
Tracks build, test, and benchmark results across every commit, so performance and accuracy regressions show up the moment they land instead of in production.
A small language & bytecode VM
A compact programming language with a hand-written lexer, Pratt parser, and a bytecode compiler and virtual machine, fast enough to run real scripts.
HTTP load-testing tool
A concurrent load generator that drives a target at a set request rate and reports latency percentiles and throughput, so you can find where a service starts to break.
Durable job queue
A background job queue with retries, exponential backoff, and a web UI to inspect, requeue, and cancel jobs, so slow or flaky work never blocks the request path.
