bpsite.xyz: Branden Pavon

Hello!

This is my personal portfolio website. It is run on a personal VPS with a bought domain. I use this site to host my project showcases. Look at my SMA backtest Showcase!

I am passionate about systems programming, infrastructure, and quantitative finance, and I enjoy building software that interacts closely with operating systems, networks, and hardware. My academic interests include operating systems, kernel development, networking, and performance-oriented software design. Outside of work, I build systems-focused software projects that emphasize performance, networking, and real-time data processing. I also maintain a personal Linux homelab where I deploy and manage self-hosted services using technologies such as NGINX, WireGuard, Cloudflare, and Fail2Ban.

Cache Latency Profiling HTTP Server (C)

Cache Latency

This project built a lightweight HTTP/1.1 server in C using Linux socket programming, implemented concurrent client handling to support multiple connections, optimized file I/O and memory management to minimize latency, and exposed HTTP endpoints that run benchmarks to measure L1, L2, and L3 cache latency.

Rolling Sharpe Ratio Engine (C++)

Sharpe Ratio

This project developed a low-latency C++ engine that streams live ETF data to compute rolling Sharpe Ratios across 1m, 5m, and 10m intervals, calculates volatility and returns in real time, and visualizes the results through a custom Linux socket-based HTTP server with documented development and version history on GitHub.

Simple Moving Average LETF Backtesting Visualized (Python)

SMA Backtest

This project is a simple SMA backtesting tool that uses two stock tickers—one for generating signals and another for making simulated buy/sell decisions.

SusCalc.org (Full Stack)

SusCalc

This is a web-based carbon footprint calculator and resource hub that helps everyday consumers understand how their daily habits contribute to their environmental impact — and what they can do about it.

Cloudlab/Homelab (Linux)

Cloudlab

This project is a Cloudlab hosting my website, private git server, private cloud storage, and a couple of one-off services that I need once in a while.

These are some tutorials that I have created. Quick start guides for tools that I have used.
