Projects

Ocebot:
This is a C-based multi-platform chat bot and application programming interface that runs on a virtual machine. It was started as a community project, but has since become an independent project that I develop and maintain currently on my own. It also has a Python-based "bot" for use on the popular Discord chat service. Support for other platforms is currently planned. My role with the bot was to develop and maintain it's codebase.
