Portfolio of Niklas Lantau

Welcome to this portfolio of code!

As of 2022-02-04, I've made some clean up of this repository. It's far from complete still, such as my Python section. To get some grasp of my (usually) quick and dirty coding challenge solutions, why not head over to my Code-Challenges repo.

Why install precompiled binaries in no time, when you can compile everything from source? Glad you asked. These are my Gentoo configs.

I really enjoy exploring the new and unknown; learning new programming languages, paradigms and algorithms are some of my top nerdy things I enjoy doing. Flipping bits in a low-level C programs that gets cross-compiled to 8-bit MCUs are just as fun as learning how combinator logic make point free solutions possible in Haskell and APL. I have a firm belief that exploring a wide variety of topics outside my comfortable domains make me a better problem solver.

As of 2021-01-28, I've just started to compile this repo as I figured it might be a pretty good thing to have. I'm in the making and updating of the repo, so it's a bit of a mess right now. Hopefully, I'll have it structured and well-representing of me soon.

I'll do my absolute best to not have anything else but my own code in this repo. If needed, I'll do my best to provide any other authors clearly (for instance in used libraries).

Do you find something that I've missed to reference or anything that looks wrong or whatever, please help me out by notifing me so I can update and/or clarify the code! I do not what do claim any rights to other authors work.

C - Algorithms and Data Structures

• Did the majority of the course Algorithms and Data Structures in C
  • Used driver_main.c to start whatever algorithm and/or data structure that was going to be testet
  • Used tester.py to test driver_main.c
  • More information here

Embedded C

I'm a TA in Embedded Systems Programming and Computer Engineering during the spring of 2022. In this section, I'll keep some code snippets useful for me to have during those sessions.

Python

• TODO

Iptables

I implemented an iptables firewall on Arch Linux and used MacOS as the "attacker" box. Read more about it here
