About Me

Hello, real world!

I love the process of troubleshooting and breaking down problems piece by piece until I've found the root cause. Although frustrating at times, there is no better feeling than when you have finally squashed that bug that has been hiding in your code for days. I am highly interested in web development, but I also enjoy creating multipath text-based adventure games in different languages to brush up on my skills. I am always eager to learn, anything is possible with a lot of coffee and a little debugging!

My Hobbies

I love video games, scifi & comic conventions, practicing yoga, pad thai, Geralt of Rivia, elves, seltzer water, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, iced americanos, outlandish fantasy novels, and Fen'Harel.

Portfolio

Overworld

Senior Capstone Project

I spent my final semester creating additional pages to the Overworld website, as well as implementing requested features. I spent the semester researching various web development frameworks and concepts in order to effectively resolve issues that were marked by the original developers. Overworld's current test environment can be seen here (www.overworld.netlify.com). The IGDB API is used for all of the video games/information on the site.

Studyflo

Final Project for COMP335 Web Application Development

This was the first website I built from the ground up, using HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Node.js. It was also my first time hosting a site on Heroku, which was a daunting, but worthwhile experience for a web dev newbie (at the time)! There are a few elements I would like to refactor, but this project will always hold a special place in my heart.

Emulate a Gameboy

Project for COMP406 Computer Architecture

In C++, I wrote a Nintendo Gameboy emulator that can play Super Mario Land. I am going to upload a link to the screen recording of myself playing through the emulator soon!

This website right here! I built this with Bootstrap and designed everything myself, with the help of FontAwesome. ;)
