PROJECTS
My Recent Projects
Campus Map
Campus Map is an app designed for Penn State Students by a Penn State Student.
It allows a user to locate any building on the Main PSU Campus.
When a building is selected its pin is displayed on the map. Tapping this pin displays the name, year-constructed,
and image of the building. A route to this building from their current location or another set location can be generated.
The user can pin any location on the map and swipe between standard, hybrid, or satellite map views.
WordWizz
Word Wizz is an app that allows the user to play between two versions of scramble.
The Regular Scramble Game or the New York Times Scramble Game, each having their own
game modes and rules.
Available in English, Spanish, or French.
Stock Neural Network
The stock market’s spikes and downfalls have mystified people since its inception,
with nothing, machine or human, able to predict its future effectively. An AI Network
called Aladdin controls over 7% of the entire world’s financial assets, which is almost
the size of the U.S.’s total GDP!
I thought, why not take a crack at it?
SQL Based European Travel Guide
A European travel guide was created in an SQL database management class as the final project.
The goal was to apply our understanding of SQL to a hands-on project with a real-world application
and UI.
Created with test driven development practices.
Lottery Smart Contract
A lottery smart contract. Players enter the lottery using ethereum. When the lottery ends a winning
player is chosen at random via the contract. Written in JavaScript and Solidity, tested on Remix and
on a personal etherereum Blockchain Ganache using Mocha.
Deployed to the Rinkbey Test Network.
