About Me

I developed a passion for programming while in college studying game development, with my programming foundations rooted in C/C++ and C#. This all came together in my capstone project, Awakened, built with Unreal Engine 5. Since graduating, I've broadened my horizons to software and web development, having learned Python, JavaScript, and more. I also don't see myself stopping anytime soon either. My journey is far from over, and I'm excited to showcase my skills and start my full-time career.

Technologies & Frameworks: Firestore(NoSQL), Express.js, React, NodeJS

Description: TADO is a react-based webapp that is a to-do list that can be checked off, edited and deleted. It is made using the FERN stack. I wanted to create a full stack webapp and also learn react and thought making a to-do app would be a good project to be able to put it all together.

C$50 Finance

Languages: HTML, CSS, Python, SQL

Frameworks: Flask and Bootstrap

Description: This is a finance app created using the Flask framework for Python. I worked on it while taking CS50x. It is a simple web app that allows you to create or log into an account. You can then look up a real-world stock price using Yahoo Finance API. In the web app, you can also buy, sell, and track your stock. All the information is stored in a SQL database and passwords are encrypted. None of the money and transactions are real it is a simple demonstration. The majority of the code was written by myself but parts of it were written by the CS50 team at Harvard.

GitHub Repo *Notes: This isn't a live web app, none of the money or transactions are real, this project is just a demonstration of my skills and educational purposes.

CLI Friends Sorter

Languages: Python

Description: A Python CLI program that allows you to input a list of friends with an attribute and birthdate. It then outputs a new list with the friends' role in the friend group and their star sign. The idea for this project came about after having a heated argument with my friends about what role we all play in our friend group. At the time I was taking Harvard's CS50P course and was about to start my final project. So I decided why not make a Python CLI program that allows you to be able to sort your friends and even yourself.

GitHub Repo *Note: You will need python installed to run this program.

Portfolio Website

Languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Framework: Boostrap

Description: I built this site you are on from the ground up using vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I have added some additional libraries and frameworks to help build the site. The framework and libraries are Bootstrap, Lightbox 2, and Animate on Scroll. I am using Formspree to handle the contact form.

Dorkmode for Visual Studio Code

Languages: JSON

Description: A Visual Studio Code dark theme. This theme was created because I really liked the GitHub Dark theme. Though as you may have guessed I had my own issues with the theme. I decided to recreate the theme into my own image. I used many of the same colors found in GitHub's theme but changed into something I find more appealing.

Dorkmode for Chrome

Languages: JSON

Description: A Google Chrome theme for people who like it dark but don't want it black. Inspired by another theme I created for VS Code. Chrome is my preferred browser to use for surfing the web. But I never was a fan of its dark theme. It wasn't ever dark enough for me. I tried out some other dark themes, but even they didn't fully get the color I was looking for. So, after making my own VS Code theme, I thought, why not create one for Chrome? I even used the same name and palette. Thus Dorkmode-for-Chrome was born.
