I graduated from Fordham University with my B.S. in CompSci this May, but I have been developing projects for over a decade and my fundamentals are tight.

My first publicly released project, Lithium, reached 200,000 downloads before I finished high school. That involved learning Objective-C and Theos, an arcane set of tools for writing tweaks for jailbroken iOS devices. https://codeberg.org/constancebello/lithium

My latest large project, tf2ultimate, has gotten me over $200 in Team Fortress 2 items by identifying profitable arbitrage trades to make using a comprehensive listing matching algorithm with nearly no hardcoded logic to parse the game's item schema, allowing it to learn how items interact with each other directly from the game files. Through this I've learned lots of Rust and PL/pgSQL. I plan to return to this with a major refactor to improve the code's fault tolerance and add more functionality using pg_durable. https://codeberg.org/constancebello/tf2ultimate
