Welcome on my profile !

I'm passionate about developing C++ software and libraries in my free time. I love exploring strong typing techniques like those discussed in Fluent C++'s Strong Types. I'm a fan of clean code, expressive code and the effective use of design patterns (when it's useful).

When I not doing code, I'm playing video games, listening music or watching anime like SNK - Attack on Titan, Evangelion, Initial D or Psycho-Pass.

Current projects:

I'm currently working on rebuilding shape-editor from C++11 to C++20. For this goal, I've developed several libraries like integers and common-concepts. I'm also focused on improving ez-draw++ by using RAII, smart pointers, the STL library and new C++20 features. It's a long-term project as ez-draw++ is a header-only library initially coded in C++11. It takes significant effort to convert the library while maintaining the same logic without testss. Therefore, I'm searching for solutions to test the current version of ez-draw++ accross different OS (Linux/Windows).

• ez-draw-pp: A improved version of ez-draw++ using C++20, RAII, design patterns, STL and smart pointers to enhance memory security.
• common_concepts: Common concepts used in various projects.
• integers: Strong types for negative, positive and not null integers.
• shape_editor (new version): An improved version of shape-editor using C++20 for enhanced memory security.
• stringify (currently private): A common concept to stringify any object using 'std::to_string'.

Currently learning:

• Meson
• How make a clean documentation with Doxygen, Breathe, Sphinx and the theme sphinxawesome: Clear Functional C++ Documentation
• How make doxygen-awesome-css like a Meson dependency by using GitHub Actions (currently it's a private project)
• Rust

School projects (archived):

These projects might work or not depending on the time I spend on them. Many of these projects are archive and won't receive further updates.

Working:

• shape-editor: A simple shape drawing tool to explore OOP concepts.
• libimage: Library for loading, saving and editing various image formats (PPM, TGA, PGM, JPEG)

Not working:

• chartor: Load CSV data and draw charts with chart.js.
• ttl_project: Website with CodeIgniter3 and MySQL.
• visualhasher: Visual hasher with different algorithms.
• pem_GL: An OpenGL engine.

Languages:

• C++ ❤️
• Java
• JavaScript
• Python (enough time of using it)
