Projects

Space Snake: Classic Arcade Game

Jun. 2024 - Sep. 2024

Embarked on a learning journey to develop a classic Snake game using the Unity Game Engine and C#. This project served as an introduction to game development, allowing me to explore fundamental programming concepts and Unity's core features.

You can view the source code on GitHub here or download and play it now on itch.io.

TradeNote: Candlestick Charts with Entry/Exit Notations

Feb. 2024 - Mar. 2024

Contributed a major feature to the open-source project TradeNote on GitHub - candlestick charts with notations for entries and exits. This feature significantly improved data visualization and technical analysis capabilities for users.

Data Conversion Application | East Texas Professional Credit Union

Nov. 2022 - Feb. 2023

I was tasked with developing a method for converting raw data files into a defined format to be received by one of our partners. I constructed a robust application that would be able to detect errors in the raw data, allow the user to easily repair the errors and format the data. The application was also built to be easily updated if the format changes in the future.

In this project I had the opportunity to learn and utilize Java Swing. The finished application has received positive feedback.

Book Your Book: Simulated Bookstore Web App

Sep. 2021 - Dec. 2021

Our team was tasked with creating an application that would allow users to view and simulate ordering from a selection of books stored in a relational database. The application also provides some information about the books such as its publisher, author, genres, etc. All book and user data is editable by site administrators.

For this project our team decided to learn and utilize PHP to create a web application.

The source code can be found in my GitHub repository here.
