Hello, Mars! 👋

I'm a passionate a software engineer who likes fast Python and weird math.

Current obsessions are number theory, factorization, optimizations, and useful apps.

twosquares: A Python package for computing all solutions of the form $n = x^2 + y^2$ for any $n$ as efficiently as possible.
quadint: A Python package for quadratic integers, including a version of Python's complex backed by int instead of double.
pixmatch: A modern VisiPics replacement—cross-platform duplicate-image finder that scans folders + ZIPs for visually similar images (including GIFs/animated WebP) and lets you quickly keep/ignore/delete.
Magic Square of Squares: A solution for the magic square of squares problem.

quatint: Similar to quadint, this is a package for dealing with quaternions that have all integer or all half-integer values. Feature packed and performant!
Python NetForms: A Pythonic library for using NetForms.
Python Net GUI Automation: A Pythonic library for using C# GUI Automation libraries.

While these are important repositories, this is work that I haven't touched in a long time and are more useful as archives.

Xbox 360 Disc Integrity Checker: A system to verify the integrity of Xbox 360 game discs.
The Tesseract on Xbox 360 for Black Ops 2: A modding platform for Black Ops 2 on the Xbox 360.
The Tesseract on Xbox 360 for Modern Warfare 2: A modding platform for Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360.
CUDA BigInteger: My attempt at implementing a BigInteger solution that would support CUDA. I would not recommend anyone try to use this.

I believe in the power of collaboration and contribute to open-source projects like Django.

Feel free to connect with me:

Let's create something awesome together! 😊
