Projects and Experience

Search-Engine- C++, Built a search-engine application where a group of distinct text pages are found using keywords and different logical operations entered by the user. Developed a page-crawler to parse text of files and find relations to other pages. The application find the page rank of the identified pages and organizes the results alphabetically or by page rank.

Event Simulator- C++, Created a traffic simulator that simulates the flow of cars from a starting point through the roads and intersections that lead to an endpoint. Roadblocks and obstacles may be implemented by the user which would impact the flow of traffic. The cars flow across the edges of a graph created by the user. The simulator calculates time it takes for all cars to flow from a starting point to an end point.

Blackjack- Java, Created a console-based Blackjack game in Java with a robust user interface including an option to add players locally and created an automated dealer with Artificial Intelligence that plays against the users.

The Dark Forest- C#, Group project constructing a 2-D role-playing game in Unity. I created the game’s user interface and programmed multiple character interactions with animated objects and enemies within the game.

Global Pixel Picture- HTML/CSS/MySQL/Java, Group project developing a website where registered users may edit a global 128x128 pixel canvas. Users choose colors from a color wheel and all pixels they select change to that respective color and their contributions are saved. The pixel canvas is then archived at 12:00 AM each day. Users may view archived images and the edits each user contributed.
