Projects

  • Webserver: Developed a fully functional HTTP/1.1 webserver in C++98 as part of a 3-person team. The project followed RFC 9112 specifications and used NGINX as a performance and behavior benchmark. Focus areas included socket programming, I/O multiplexing, request parsing, and response handling with support for concurrent client connections, error management, and configuration parsing. Additionally implemented rudimentary WebSocket handling for persistent, full-duplex communication. The server was capable of serving static content and executing CGI scripts.
