Hello, I'm Connor.

Enhanced backend system performance and reliability by redesigning RESTful APIs, refactoring and optimizing the existing codebase, and improving integration with the frontend and smart contracts. Created an integrated payment system in VisionOS for metaverse and XR applications, enhancing user transaction experience in virtual environments. Successfully demonstrated a custom micropayment solution to diverse portfolio stakeholders, expertly conveying technical details, compelling use case narratives, and significant business impacts.

Developed a future-ready marketplace for sneaker transactions by designing and implementing a Flutter-based mobile application with streamlined Web3 integration. Conceptualized and designed a novel blockchain-based micropayments system in collaboration with cross-functional teams, achieving potential significant cost reductions for small transactions. Enabled seamless and secure transactions across VR and non-VR applications within the Metaverse by creating a versatile cross-platform payment SDK using Unity and C#.

Spearheaded the development of an automated exploit testing system using Metasploit and Caldera, collaborating with a team of researchers to tailor the system to their specifications. Performed comprehensive research on existing exploits, assessing their applicability across diverse system configurations. Developed a custom self-decrypting payload that bypasses Windows Defender, simplifying the deployment process for developers targeting vulnerable systems.

Conducted research into the potential application of ultrasound technology to silently disable microphones, with the goal of creating secure, surveillance-free zones in sensitive areas. Developed and tested a prototype for an advanced microphone-muting system, demonstrating versatility across a range of microphone types.

Developed an automated program to consolidate data from a government API, delivering it in a user-friendly web frontend to boost the sales team's efficiency. Improved the IT department's workflow by automating the equipment addition process in the inventory management system, significantly enhancing efficiency and time management.

Leveraged OpenCL to develop a heterogeneous version of the OpenSURF algorithm that can execute across multiple processors simultaneously. Tested and benchmarked different implementations of the algorithm on a PC and an FPGA.
