I found that trying to quickly onboard onto an online chat messenger, like Discord, was taking too long so I made an online chat messaging website called VChat in order to be able to quickly login and send messages to your friends. This project was a good experience in learning about authentication, as sending messages on VChat requires signing in with some sort of 3rd party account.

As part of our Software Engineering Principles class, our team created a full scale Desktop Tower Defense game. Over the course of the semester, we used JavaFX to render our OOP design and FXML to create the user interfaces for the player. We also learned and followed Agile principles for a more efficient workflow and to create scalable technology.

This project was my first deep dive into REST APIs. As an avid fan of watching TV and movies, I got really tired of scrolling through every streaming platform trying to find what I wanted to watch, so I made a tool where you can enter the name of any movie or show and find what platforms you can watch it on. I used the Watchmode dataset in order to find streaming provider information about shows and movies that you can search for. It can save you a lot of time on your next movie night!

I've spent the last couple years learning about Cryptocurrency and through the WebDev Club at Georgia Tech, we were able to create a Decentralized Exchange (or "Dex") Swap. Essentially, using platforms like Moralis and 1-inch, our Dex allows you to swap any existing crypto that you have in your wallet for any other coin on the Ethereum blockchain (with minimal gas fees!). I learned how to implement important features for a user-facing platform in this project, like login authentication, transaction verification, etc.

As part of a Computer Organization and Programming class, I built a GBA-style dungeon crawler game that was emulated on a GPA device platform. I used DMA (direct memory access) and VBlank in order to directly draw images onto pixels on the screen. I had to create rendering methods for images, strings, and shapes, as well as the game logic for randomly placing items on the dungeon floor, moving the character around, collision detection, and win/loss situations, all in C. While the Pokémon game logic is a little more complicated, this game has a pretty cool retro vibe!

Also through GT WebDev, I worked on creating a Data Viz tool that used real-time, accurate Georgia Tech Health Data on the Covid-19 virus around campus. This data includes information like recent locations, student/employee type, quarantine location, as well as aggregated case numbers for different campus groups. We used the Recharts library to display the data in more readable formats, while using Python Flask to scrape the data off the GT Health website and aggregate case data to use for our backend information.
