Path of the Gradient

This is a Unity game project I worked on as a part of EECS 494: Intro to Game Development. Path of the Gradient is a platformer where you can abosorb colors and perform different actions based on the character's color

A Grimoire's Tale

This was my capstone project for EECS 494: Intro to Game Development. In this game, you play as a sentient book with the power to cast and combine different spells in order to make your way through the library and defeat the evil wizard. I worked with a group of five other people over the course of six weeks to develop this game as a submission to the University of Michigan's Virtual Game Showcase. The game was made using Agile Development with weekly playtest sessions.

NES Zelda Dungeon

As my first project in EECS 494: Intro to Game Development, I worked alongside another student to recreate the first dungeon in the original Legend of Zelda Title. In addition, we were tasked with coming up with a new dungeon level with it's own set of tools and challenges.

Javascript Robot Simulation

This was a project I worked on over the course of a semester in EECS 367: Intro to Autonomous Robotics. The 3D Models were generated using the Threes.Js Library. This robot model was used over the course of multiple projects for the purpose of learning topics such as Forward Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics, RRT Path Planning, and Linear Algebra concepts such as Quaternions and Jacobians.

MineSweeper AI

As part of a desire for personal development and exploration into Machine Learning and AI, I completed projects from the CS50AI online course. One of those projects included a minesweeper AI written using python. The AI worked off of "Sentences", or logical statements about the game. Each statement contained a set of board cells alongside an interger denoting the number of mines that were in the set. Each action in the game would generate new sentences and update old ones. The AI would use these sentences to then determine which cells were safe and which cells were mines.

ASP.NET Bug Tracker

As part of an ongoing personal project, I developed a website for tracking software bugs similar to programs like Jira. The website was coded in ASP.NET and C# while using the MVC framework. The website also used SQL for creating, reading, updating, and deleting tickets. There's still more I would like to add to this project, and I would like to use this as a tool for future ones as well.
