Project Management: Mock Google Budget Integration
- Collaborated on managing the project of a mock Google Budget application, managing hypothetical resources, including personnel and salary allocations.
- Utilized Microsoft Project for scheduling, budgeting, and risk management.
- Implemented project layering techniques to streamline the development timeline and optimize resource utilization.
Multithreading Simulation in a Doctor's Office
- Created a multithreading simulation where threads represented different entities in a doctor's office (patients, receptionist, nurses, and doctors) interacting with each other.
- Debugged complex threading issues and ensured smooth interaction between multiple threads representing real-world processes.

CPU and Memory Interaction Simulation
- Developed a simulation of CPU and memory interaction using pipes and forks to create two processes that fetched and processed commands, simulating a basic CPU architecture.
- Debugged issues related to pipes messaging and wait systems; adapted the project to Linux due to the lack of support for forks and pipes in Windows.
