Hey there. I'm Nolan Barker, a programmer based in Farmington Hills, MI. I've been enjoying using computers to solve problems with code for nearly a decade now. I lead the programming team of FRC team 3414 (Hackbots), where I was nomitated for Dean's list in 2025!
I'm currently enrolled at North Farmington High School, class of 2026.
- Rust
- Go
- Python
- Java
- C
My favorite problems to solve are those with respect to:
- control theory
- robot vision and autonomous navigation
- math-focused problems
I've (technically) made contributions to open-source libraries like WPILib, but I plan on working more on that in the future and being more involved.
Some of the fun problems I've solved with code include:
- A very fast spellchecker, built in rust
- E2EE chat server built in Go with TUI interface
- Autopilot, a real-time pursuit algorithm for FRC teams.
- CLI tool to generate PathPlanner autonomous routines from a small scripting language
- More to come!
