Projects
A dark-themed desktop app for Valorant players. Monitors your friend list with live online/offline alerts, lets you send DMs, spam ASCII art to friends, and view your daily in-game shop — all without opening the game client. Reads Riot Client's local lockfile to authenticate without storing credentials.
3rd year thesis project implementing Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) to solve routing problems across varied graph topologies. Visualises the algorithm's pheromone trails and convergence behaviour on different network structures in real time.
