Bee Major Beethoven – Spring 2023
Class Group Project

Bee Major Beethoven was created in Unity as a class group project for a Game Development class I took in the Spring of 2023.
This three-level game was conceptualized, developed, and published in the span of approximately 3 months.

All of the level design, art work, and planning was done by myself and my two other group-mates. All of the game code was done independently by the group members. I was in charge of a portion of the programming, asset designs, animation, and game testing. I was the sound designer for the project and I created a mini-game portion of the game independently.

This game centers around a young bee who was separated from his hive and must travel through dangerous landscapes, such as the woods and the suburbs, to return home.

Into the Mewniverse – Summer 2023
Individual Class Project

Into The Mewniverse was created in Unity as a class project for a Game Development class I took in the Summer of 2023.
This is a single-level game conceptualized, developed, and published in the span of approximately 3 months.

All of the level design, art work, and planning was done by me. The majority of the code was supplied by our professor, as that was the nature of the class, and I created some unique scripts to better suit the mechanics of the game.

The story of Into The Mewniverse follows a cat living in the age of space-faring humanity who accidentally takes an escape pod to an alien planet. He must speak to aliens and collect parts to fix his ship in order to get back home to his human (and his scratching post).

Pokemon Team Builder – Spring 2024
COP3530 Data Structures and Algorithms Final Project

The Pokemon Team Builder is both a passion project and a scholarly project wrapped into one product. The final project for the Data Structures and Algorithms course required our team to create an executable or website that compared two data structures in some form and somehow used 100,000 datapoints.

There was a lot of creative freedom afforded to us in this project, and my team and I decided to create a site that sorts 100,000 Pokemon and allows users to pick their own team of 6 Pokemon and display their name, type, sprite, resistances, and weaknesses. Since there are definitely less than 100,000 Pokemon, my teammate created a function that fused together thousands of Pokemon into brand new creatures.

I was primarily charged with frontend development and UI/UX design. I also developed the ordered map structure using red-black trees. Though the project was turned in, my teammates and I continue to develop this site to make it the best it can be.

Tabletop Tavern – Spring 2024
CIS4930 Internet Programming Final Project

The Tabletop Tavern is a one-stop-shop for all Tabletop Games or Boardgames. This was a final group project for my CIS4930 Internet Programming course, in which we needed to create a functional website or proof of concept that would be genuinely useful to people in some way shape or form.

Our team chose to create a site that allowed users to search through our extensive database of boardgames and find games they may enjoy. Users can search and filter through games by genre, number of players, age rating, and much more. If a user finds a game they enjoy, they can save that game to a personal collection and rate/ comment any game of their choosing.

Every member of our team did both frontend and backend work.

CIS4930 e-Portfolio – Spring 2024
Individual Class Assignments

CIS4930 – Internet Computing was an elective class taken at the University of Florida that focused on nearly all levels of web-development and the many different languages and libraries that can be applied in that setting.

The languages and libraries that were used throughout this course include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, MySQL, and PHP. The assignments in this course progressively got more labor-intensive and complex, as they slowly incorporated different and new concepts in a hands-on manner.

My e-Portfolio is, much like all of my assignments in this course, hosted via the CISE server. It contains all 7 projects we’ve completed thus far in the course, all of which vary in complexity and subject matter but demonstrate my current skills in web-development and UI design.
