• Resolved duel outcome disputes and handled player report tickets.

• Monitored live matches on TotemGuard, distinguishing packet loss and network drops from autototem packet injections.

• Enforced IP bans and tracked alternate accounts to stop banned players from rejoining.

• Moderated active survival servers, handling player reports, chat moderation, and rule enforcement.
• Investigated player harassment and doxxing threats, correlating account histories and IP ranges to ban offenders.

• Wrote a Wayland crosshair daemon in C using gtk-layer-shell on the overlay layer surface, with input passthrough so game clicks pass through with zero latency.
• Rendered customizable reticles (dots, rings, crosses, subpixel offsets) using Cairo.
• Added a SIGUSR1 signal handler to reload configuration without restarting the daemon.
• Built a companion Qt6 GUI (crosshair-gui) that matches system themes.

• Built a terminal music player in Python with Textual that streams from YouTube Music and pulls Spotify metadata without requiring Spotify Premium.
• Controlled playback via a background mpv process over a Unix domain IPC socket.
• Cached streamed audio to ~/.local/share/spoff/cache/ for offline playback.
• Piped audio data through a cava FIFO pipe to render a 60 FPS spectrum visualizer.
• Implemented the D-Bus MPRIS 2 interface for hardware media keys, Waybar, and lockscreens.

• Built a Discord bot that queries player rankings and parses live tiers across multiple competitive Minecraft tierlist APIs.
• Integrated the Mojang REST API to resolve player usernames to permanent UUIDs, caching cross-roster tier history in SQLite.

• Configured Hyprland with direct scanout and tearing enabled to eliminate compositor latency in full-screen games.
• Themed Neovim, Kitty, and DankMaterialShell with a unified dark monochrome Oxocarbon palette.
