Binary Serialization System
A C++ exploration of file formats, memory representation, schema-driven data, versioning, and checksums — designed with future game save systems in mind.
Open to internship opportunities · 2027
I’m Aiden — an incoming Computer Science student at the University of Maryland, College Park. I like understanding how software works beneath the surface, then making something with it.

01 / A little more context
Good engineering is collaborative. These snapshots capture a little of the person and the community behind the projects.
01 / Selected work
I build projects to make abstract ideas tangible — from memory management to interpreted languages and game systems.
A C++ exploration of file formats, memory representation, schema-driven data, versioning, and checksums — designed with future game save systems in mind.
A ~600 line experiment in parsing instructions, interpreting source, and translating code into behavior.
A custom dynamic integer-list implementation built while learning memory allocation, arrays, and object-oriented design.
02 / The short version
I’m not trying to collect technologies. I’m trying to understand them well enough to build things that hold up.
My strongest interest is the space where software meets the machine: data structures, memory, game-engine architecture, infrastructure, and the systems that make products possible.
I bring a learner’s mindset, a bias toward fundamentals, and experience collaborating with engineers on real infrastructure work at T2S Solutions.

A foundation in programming, a first look at professional engineering, and plenty more to explore.
B.S. Computer Science · Incoming student · University Honors program
Directly admitted to Computer Science with previous coursework in programming, computer science, and Calculus I.Genesis engineering team · Aberdeen Proving Ground
Worked across Kubernetes, OpenShift, Terraform, AWS GovCloud, GitLab CI/CD, Argo CD, container security, and Windows image automation alongside software and infrastructure engineers.Programming · CS coursework · Oracle APEX
Built an Oracle APEX application for a 150+ vehicle school car show. President of Game Development Club and programming mentor with Huskies Who Code.T2S / Selected contributions
Two projects that helped me connect infrastructure, automation, and user needs.
Prototyped an AI-agent workflow that gathered live flight and hotel data alongside user trip details, then produced a travel authorization request and structured itinerary aligned with government contractor travel regulations.
Contributed to a standardized Windows 11 golden-image workflow: a repeatable, documented baseline designed to meet security requirements and be deployed quickly across environments.
04 / Toolkit
Some tools are practiced daily; others were introduced during my internship. I care about being honest about the difference — and curious enough to close it.
