Sridaran Thoniyil - 750Z Programmer

My name is Sridaran Thoniyil and during the 2018-2019 robotics season, I was one of the programmers on 750Z, one of the two "shadow teams." The shadow teams consisted of freshmen in the robotics program, and they acted as learning grounds so that the new people could have the opportunity to learn on their own instead of watching established teams operate on their own.
Outside of robotics, my hobbies include playing the trumpet and expanding upon my computer science knowledge.

Personal Project - CodeEncryptor

This was an application I wrote during the robotics season to encrypt code before publishing it to our public GitHub repository.
While that was the original intent, it became clear that using it for that purpose would have been unnecessary and inconvenient. However, the application can still be used to encrypt other files.
Currently, files are being encrypted using the AES-256 algorithm. Images are not yet fully supported, but that is the next step.
