Survival Plus

Java / PaperMC

Survival Plus is a custom built plugin for Minecraft servers running PaperMC, developed by me in my free time, and updated yearly. The current version adds tons of essential commands into Minecraft, as well as new progression paths (Skill Trees) and cosmetics (player titles, hats and trails) unlock able in the Battle Pass via custom quests and objectives!

Loan Shark

Flutter / Dart

Designed as a way to allow its users to lend and borrow items, similar to how Venmo works with currency. This app is fully functional and was developed as my Senior Capstone at Miami University. Built using Flutter/Dart and Google Firebase, this app had custom accounts, sign in with Google, and the ability to lend/borrow items from other users.

Gold Rush

Unity / C#

This game was built in Unity using C# scripts as my Midterm project for an Intro to Game Design course at Miami University. The goal of the game was to progress through the floors of a dungeon while mining new ores to level up your tools and fighting harder enemies as you progress.

Jumper Man

Java

This was my first project that I developed in Java, a full recreation of Super Mario Bros in Java. It took approximately 4 months to develop, and that was with taking the sprites straight from Nintendo. Even though I used the sprites from the original game, all the code and levels were created by me.

Maze Runner

C++

This was created in Spring 2018 during my spring semester at The University of Cincinnati. I used it as a way to further my knowledge of the C++ programming language beyond what we were learning in my intro class and to challenge myself using only my minimal knowledge of the C++ language. The result of this was a recreation of the first level of The Legend of Zelda NES. This was a lot of fun to develop as I only used the default C++ libraries and the C++ command prompt.

J-Basic

Java

This project revolves around a made up programming language that can be "interpreted" into Java code. It features a basic text editor and a custom interpreter that will convert your "J-Basic" code into java and run it.

Spotify Playlist Generator

JavaScript / Node.JS

This was a project that was developed as a final project for my Algorithms course at Miami. Using an algorithm that my group came up with, we implemented using JavaScript and the Spotify Rest API a website that will generate a custom playlist based on your music tastes!

Card Party

Java

Card Party was a project that I worked on during the Spring/Summer of 2019. It was my first attempt at using sockets to create a program that worked with the Internet to connect multiple clients. While never finished, it features working client-server communication and even a couple card games that can be played!

Toilet Talk

ASP.Net

Toilet Talk was a final group project for my databases class at Miami University. The idea was simple. Create a front end system that allows students at Miami University to rate any bathroom on campus and allow students to search for a bathroom by location, or rating. On the front end this was accomplished using .net and C#. On the back end we used MySQL. Together with my partner, we worked on the front end website design using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and C#. We also created the systems needed to interact with the database on the back-end to store all the ratings for the restrooms.

Hunt The Lennie

C++

This project of mine is based on the popular online game Hunt The Wumpus. It was developed as my final project for my Computer Science I class at The University of Cincinnati. As a little challenge to myself, I decided to see how long it would take me to create this project from start to finish, in one sitting. The v1.0 version, which was the version I submitted for class, ended up taking me just under 6 hours in total to create!

The Game of Life

C++

This project was built using the Conway's Game of Life rules. This was built for my Computer Science 1 class at The University of Cincinnati. I went way above and beyond the requirements and built a program that not only follows the rules of the 'game' but also has the edges wrap around to simulate a sphere like world.

Clicky The "Game"

C#

This project was the first game that I ever created and the first project that I updated continuously. At the time, I was obsessed with idle clicking games, so I decided to try and create one of my own with the C# programming language. This project is what inspired me to continue my studies in computer science. I learned a ton from this project, and it helped inspire me to create my future projects.

Calculator

C++

This was my first standalone project that I created. This was developed in the Spring of 2017 while I was taking my first real programming class through my local college during my senior year of high school. This project, while not much at all, helped reassure me that I wanted to study computer science the following year at college.
