• 2D Isometric Game, Ongoing
   An isometric 2D game with visuals to fake a 3D look and feel. The player is a ball that can roll around. The physics are all done in 2D, and the 3D rotation of the ball is calculated using a sphericle projection and determining the rotation based off player velocity.
• 2D Game Engine, 2026
   Realistic physics simulation, resolution managemer, world generation, enemy and player interactions, minimap. To pick out one feature I'm particularly happy with is the quad-tree modified to work in a toroidal world. A quad-tree helps to make the n-squared physics comparisons down significantly. Essentially, the quad-tree divides the world into four quadrants, and further divides the quadrants if enough entities are in that present. This work done on this project is utilized in future development.
• Snake AI, 2023
  Artifical Intelligence at UML
   Developed a Snake AI program in C++, implementing Q-Learning along with diverse pathfinding algorithms for comprehensive analysis and comparison. Created a user-friendly interface enabling algorithm selection followed by real-time visualization of gameplay, showcasing the execution of the selected algorithm.
• Encrypted File Storage, 2022
  Computer & Network Security I at UML
   Utilized the C++ standard library and socket programming techniques to develop implementations of the AES and RSA network security algorithms. Enabled users to encrypt .txt files utilizing AES 128-bit encryption, then securely store them remotely, employing RSA encryption for enhanced data protection.
• Custom Paint, 2021
  Computer Graphics I at UML
   Reconstructed Microsoft Paint from scratch using the WebGL Library in HTML and Javascript. Allows the user to generate and manipulate shapes on a canvas. The user may also download their art as a jpeg, or save and load projects to be further edited in the future. Other notable features include object selection, transformations, and multilayer undo.
• Study Group Meetings, 2020
  Database II at UML
   Developed both a webpage and mobile app enabling seamless enrollment in study group sessions. Utilized PHP and SQL to construct a robust backend database, complemented by a user-friendly front end comprising of PHP/HTML and Java/XML for the website and app, respectively. Implemented personalized user pages facilitating easy management of enrolled sessions with options for removal and created a parental feature allowing account creation, linkage to their children's accounts, and seamless management of their kids study group participation.
• Foundations, 2019
  Foundations of Computer Science at UML
   Created implementations of structures important to the core of Computer Science as well as their relevant functionality. These structures include DFA, NFA, and Reular Expressions. Important algorithms of note include the union and concatenation of these structures, Kleene Star, and the transformations for regex to NFA and NFA to DFA.
• Computing Projects, 2018
  Computing IV at UML
   Multiple projects utilizing the SFML and boost libraries. Projects include an Image Encoder, LFSR, Pythagoras Tree, and more.
