4. Personal Projects
4.1 Rage request
Reverse engineered the custom network encryption protocol of Grand Theft Auto 5 and completed a static analysis of the PowerPC assembly code.
Reimplemented the custom network encryption protocol in a Python library. This enabled penetration testing of previously unexplored private APIs.
Successfully reported four vulnerabilities, including two of high severity.
4.2 GTA 5 JSON Editor
Created a WinForms application to remotely connect to a running instance of Grand Theft Auto 5. The application would then inject a custom PowerPC remote procedure call handler, allowing debugging of native game functions.

4.3 EF Cash Carry Tool
Created an application, using WinForms, that automated ~60 hours a week of manual work. The application intercepted and parsed customer order print-outs allowing it to add additional annotations to help reduce the rate of operative errors as well as automatically generating previously manually created documents.

4.4 Argos Tools
Created a Progressive Web App that scraped the catalog numbers of all Argos products. The project enabled retail employees to query products, using a wild card search. This project enabled the discovery of many lost products and was responsible for a significant efficiency increase in picking of items.
