Web Applications
Key Skills: REST APIs, React, Flask, Python
A very simple budget application for a single user. The application supports several budget
categories, and a set monthly limit for each category (e.g., $825 for rent, $400 for groceries,
$130
for gas, etc.). The application allows the user to enter new categories and purchases and
present up
to date lists of the user's current categories and past purchases. Any purchases that were over
budget for that month will be highlighted red in the list. The purpose of the project was to
gain
expeirence building RESTful APIs, and using two web-based frameworks cohesively. I gained
experience
using React, Flask, Python, ORMs, and REST APIs.
Due to the academic integrity policies of CS 1520 (Programming Languages for Web Apps) and the
University of Pittsburgh I am unable to share this code publicly. However, upon request, I will
be
more than happy to demo the project, explain how it works and how I implemented it.
Key Skills: Java, JDBC, PostgreSQL, Project Management
The primary goal of this project is to implement a single Java application program that will
operate
BeSocial, a Social Networking System. The core of such a system is a database system. The
secondary
goal is to learn how to work as a member of a team which designs and develops a relatively
large,
real database application. I am implementing an application program using Java, PostgreSQL, and
JDBC. The focus is on the actual service and not the UI elements. One of the more fun aspects of
the
project was using Python to write a script that would generate SQL `Insert` statements to be
used as
sample data.

University of
Pittsburgh I am unable to share this code publicly. However, upon request, I will be more than
happy
to demo the project, explain how it works and how I implemented it.
Key Skills: Python, Flask, JavaScript, AJAX, JSON
A web application that hosts and manages chat rooms. The purpose of this project was to gain
experience using AJAX and JSON by building a website to host and manage multiple chat rooms. I
also
gained experience with HTML, JavaScript, Python, and Flask while implementing this project.

Key Skills: Python, Flask, JavaScript, HTML
A web application for a catering company. This website functions as an event scheduler, where
customers can request events, and staff can sign up to work events. The goal of this project was
to
gain experience using Flask and building data models via an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) by
developing a website to help manage a catering company. I gained experience using HTML, CSS,
Python,
Flask, and SQLAlchemy.

Key Skills: Java, Spring Boot, Unit Testing, Project Management
The Cookbook Web App, crafted with React and Spring Boot, was born out of frustration with
lengthy
preambles in recipe sources. Its aim? To provide users with quick, straight-to-the-point cooking
instructions. React ensures a responsive interface, while Spring Boot handles backend
functionalities like data processing and user authentication. With this streamlined approach,
users
can swiftly access concise recipes without unnecessary narratives, simplifying their culinary
experience.
As part of the project, I advocated for and strategically selected cutting-edge technologies in
line
with prevailing industry trends, including React for the frontend, Spring Boot for the backend,
and
MySQL for the database. Utilizing Java within the Spring Boot framework, I spearheaded the
development of a robust backend service and API controller, implementing a variety of software
design patterns to ensure scalability and maintainability. Rigorous testing was integral to our
process, and I orchestrated comprehensive testing protocols, achieving a remarkable 100% code
coverage using JUnit, thus adhering to stringent quality standards. Over a span of four months,
I
assumed leadership of a team comprising four members, guiding and coordinating efforts to
successfully implement and thoroughly test the full-stack application.
Key Skills: Dart, Flutter, UX Design, Mobile Development
The application was designed as a part of the Interface Design Course I took and it's purpose was
brought upon by a frustration that when doing laundry at the University of Pittsburgh I had to
pull
out my phone, go to a website that could only be accessed through 4 clicks, and then fill in all
my
credit card information just to have money on my card to do laundry. It wa frustrating, so I
took
inspriation from a variety of sources that have facilitated loading currency onto company
currency
like Starbucks, Dave and Busters, and Dunkin.
The application was constructed utilizing the Flutter programming framework. Our primary
objective
was to conceptualize an app idea, sketch its design using Balsamiq Wireframes, and then bring it
to
life through implementation with Flutter. The project unfolded across five distinct phases, each
intricately connected to the design life cycle, ensuring a comprehensive approach to
development.
Games
Key Skills: Godot Engine, Rhythm Game, Project Management
It's a captivating game featuring an immortal horticulturist dedicated to nurturing their
community.
With a core focus on environmental advocacy and community involvement, it earned the prestigious
"Judge's Choice" Award at Pitt Games 4 Social Impact Game Jam 2023, and can be played on itch.io.
In my role, I spearheaded the design and implementation of key game elements, including the
central
gameplay loop and an engaging rhythm mini-game. Guiding a talented team of five, we collaborated
intensively over a two-day period to bring this vision to life using the powerful Godot Game
Engine.
Key Skills: Twine Engine, Story Writing
An immersive narrative game developed within the Twine engine, drawing inspiration from Karel
Čapek's
seminal work, "R.U.R.," and the perennial question: "What does it mean to be human?" Set in the
evocative backdrop of the 23rd century, players step into the shoes of an engineer employed at
Rossum Corp., a cutting-edge technological conglomerate pioneering advancements in artificial
intelligence and robotics.
players navigate through the game, they are confronted with a myriad of choices that shape the
destiny of their character and the unfolding narrative. From navigating ethical dilemmas in the
development of sentient AI to grappling with the complexities of human-machine interaction, each
decision resonates deeply within the game's richly textured world.
Key Skills: Twine Engine, Story Writing
A game that invites players to embark on an enigmatic journey within the confines of a mysterious
apartment building, drawing inspiration from Karel Čapek's seminal work, "R.U.R." Set against
the
backdrop of a sprawling metropolis, players assume the role of a curious inhabitant navigating
through the labyrinthine corridors and interconnected lives of the building's residents.
As players progress through the game, they unravel the complex tapestry of secrets, hidden
agendas,
and intertwined fates that lie concealed within the building's walls. Each choice made by the
player
peels back another layer of the narrative, revealing startling truths and unforeseen
consequences.
Key Skills: JavaScript, HTML, CSS
A web-based implementation of the classic game Battleship. This project was the first assignment
in
my Programming Languages for Web Applications course at Pitt. The goal was gain experience
building
interactive web applications through the use of JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM).
I
wrote all of the source code used in the project. I gained experience using HTML, CSS, and
Javascript.
Due to the academic integrity policies of CS 1520 (Programming Languages for Web Apps) and the
University of Pittsburgh I am unable to share this code publicly. However, upon request, I will
