Redesigned the existing static website into a modernized, resposive and user friendly application built on react. I designed and developed a modular based front end archetecture to allow for easy debugging, scalability and maintnance. To improve client-side usability and streamline information handling, I integrated an external email service that organizes user submissions—enabling visitors to easily join the mailing list, book the band, and submit inquiries in a structured format.
Collaborated with a team of four to build a web app simulating a real-world incentive platform for truck drivers. We followed Agile practices throughout the semester, using Trello, Azure DevOps, and user stories to guide development. I focused on frontend development and MySQL database design, creating multi-user views with role-based access. Hosted on AWS using EC2 and RDS, the project gave me hands-on experience with PHP, full-stack deployment, and collaborative development across the entire lifecycle.
Developed a simple 2D platformer in Unity as a personal challenge to explore game development and strengthen my C# skills. The game includes core mechanics like jumping, collisions, and physics-based movement, with a custom double-jump feature added beyond the tutorial baseline. This project helped me build confidence in reading documentation, debugging in a new environment, and working within Unity’s component-based architecture.
Built a web application during a 24-hour hackathon that performs data scraping to gather sports information and generates dynamic summaries using OpenAI’s API. I used the event as an opportunity to explore what I could learn and build in a single day, focusing on unfamiliar technologies and pushing toward a functional prototype. The project involved learning Django for backend development, implementing scraping and parsing techniques with BeautifulSoup, and integrating AI-generated content through prompt design and API usage. By the end, I had a working app that reflected fast-paced learning, technical curiosity, and hands-on problem solving.
