My Projects

Bengine

A lightweight game engine written in C++. Provides tools for parsing textures, animations and tilesmaps through TinyXML onto a display window created with SDL2.

Spring

A platformer game built in JavaScript using Phaser3 and Tiled. The player must navigate through the vibrant forest and ominous caverns, avoiding environmental threats.

Teamwork Simulator

A collaborative whiteboarding app built in a week where users can register an account, create teams to be managed, and roles per team. Includes data modelling in Sequelize ORM and PostgreSQL to associate users with teams, members, and roles. Front-end developed using HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript, and Materialize CSS.


PetRex

Full stack pet health management application built with two other developers where users can register their pets to an account to store/manage each pet’s data digitally, as well as find nearby veterinarians. Partnered with my teammates to develop wireframes and build a decoupled app. The key development piece I owned was the back-end database built using MongoDB and Mongoose ODM. Front-end developed using ReactJS .

Spring Again
