But my limited website knowlege would suggest that I should have some sort of past-and-present
projects page. (Alternatively, you can view my actual resume here).
Munch
Free food is abundant on college campuses, but it's not always easy to find. I designed and built Munch
to solve that problem: it's a community-based app powered by Firebase where users can report and locate free food
events around the RIT campus.
qDungeon
Created as a project for a software design class, qDungeon is an in-browser turn-based
dungeon-crawler in the style of NetHack or other old roguelikes. I built it along with a friend
as practice using React to craft a responsive webpage.
qGroup
Another React-powered group project, qGroup aimed to create a service that would provide teachers
and other would-be group-makers with a convenient, customizable way to create groups and organizational
seating layouts.
qRoute
Yep, it's another Q-project. What does the Q stand for?
It's a long story.
This was a another group project in a CS class, where we aimed to solve the travelling-salesman-esque
problem of optimizing transport routes.
NetHack RL Project
Summer of 2022, I was part of a research team affiliated with UMD. We were working on solving the
NetHack Learning Enviroment (NLE)
using a variety of reinforcement learning techniques. I left the
team at the end of the summer, but it was a extremely interesting project and my first taste of working
with artifical intelligence.
McCollege University Webpage
This was an independent project to work on my webpage design my making a satirical mockup of a fictional college's website.
I'm a big fan of satire in general and this project was an enjoyable way to mix humor and web design.
Building Projects
The Cabin
The cabin (also known as "the fort," "the shed," and "the awesome shed") was a summer project
of mine. I CADed the blueprints, registered the construction with the Department of Permitting
Services, and then built it myself using materials salvaged from local dumpsters.
Specs:
- 150 square feet, plus a porch.
- 15 feet high.
- 6 operational windows.
- Watertight roof made from corrugated tin.
- Sided with slats from shipping pallets.
- Furnished with a hammock and salvaged furniture.
- Lit by self-contained GravityLight system.
The Lounge
After a basement rennovation, I took it upon myself to build the perfect furniture for a teenager
hangout zone. All the furniture was built to provide maximum comfort for teens while we're playing board games and eating
snacks by the dozen.
Specs:
- Three daybeds:
- Twin mattress-sized.
- Sided with lacquered plywood to match the hardwood.
- Hinged lids to store linens inside.
- Coffee table/game table:
- 4ft x 6ft (to host even the most sprawling board games).
- Built with recycled shipping pallet slats
- Drawers to hold sorted LEGO collection.
- Lockable wheels for easy room reorganization.
