## Selected projects

- [Chive](https://chive.pages.dev/): An open-source recipe app built on the AT Protocol. Recipes stay in their authors’ repositories rather than an application database, while the static client discovers and reads them directly from the network. [Source code](https://github.com/chive-recipes/chive).
- [InfraRAT](https://agoodyer.github.io/me/projects/infrarat/): A research platform for exploring 20,000+ experimental sessions in behavioural neuroscience, built with McMaster’s Szechtman Lab. Normalized session metadata connects back to original research files for querying and analysis. [Source code](https://github.com/OCD-Rats-Capstone/InfraRAT) · [Research poster](https://agoodyer.github.io/me/assets/files/infrarat-research-poster.pdf).
- [BirdScout](https://agoodyer.github.io/me/projects/birdscout/): A mobile app for identifying, recording, and exploring bird sightings, built to handle uncertain species identification, persistent sighting records, and location privacy. [Source code](https://github.com/agoodyer/BirdScout).
- [GoTracer](https://agoodyer.github.io/GoTracer/): A 3D raytracer built using only the Go standard library. Bounding volume hierarchies and multithreading produced a 36× speedup over the naïve implementation. [Source code](https://github.com/agoodyer/raytracer).
- [TicTacToeBot](https://agoodyer.github.io/me/projects/tictactoebot/): A fully wireless robot built for the 2023 MEC Senior Design Challenge. It achieved the fastest completion time and placed second overall. [Source code](https://github.com/agoodyer/TicTacToeBot).
