DanielDorante/README.md

Hi, I'm Daniel 👋

Computer Science graduate with a strong backend focus and a habit of building things from first principles.

I enjoy working close to the engine room: APIs, databases, algorithms, and systems that need to be correct, fast, and understandable. I’m especially interested in data-heavy and algorithmic problems, where structure and pattern recognition matter more than shiny UI polish.

🛠 Tech Stack

Languages

  • Python, Java, C, C#, C++, JavaScript,

Backend & Systems

  • REST APIs, JSON pipelines, async workflows
  • SQL
  • Offline-first and data-consistent system design

Data & Algorithms

  • Classical algorithms & complexity
  • Machine learning fundamentals (CNNs, SVMs)
  • Computer vision projects
  • Strong interest in evaluation, optimisation, and correctness

♟ Main Project

🔴 Red Squirrel — Chess Engine

A from-scratch chess engine written in Python.

  • Iterative deepening + alpha–beta pruning
  • Quiescence search & transposition tables
  • Hand-crafted evaluation functions
  • Built to understand why engines work, not just that they do

Current strength: ~2350 ELO (engine vs engine)
