Could you build this?
No Designing and producing a production-grade monospace font with custom OpenType layout features and glyph hinting requires specialized typographic software and digital type design expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires creating scalable vector glyph outlines across thousands of Unicode characters in Glyphs or FontLab, programming custom OpenType feature tables (GSUB/GPOS) to detect camelCase casing patterns dynamically, manual TrueType hinting for low-DPI legibility, and font compilation pipelines using fonttools/AFDKO. Professional font design remains a specialized craft.
