My Portfolio
this website
Probably the best display of my current web design and development skills. I initially threw this site together in about a day to use for applying to summer internships. Since then, it has turned into a living, breathing showcase of my skills and projects. I have future plans to add an about page and maybe even a blog.
maze solver
One of my favorite algorithms homework assignments of all time, this was the first time in my computer science education where it felt like I was creating something useful. It was a pretty simple connected components problem using a depth first search, but sometimes it's the simple things that make us appreciate the tasks we've come to find mundane.
city map
Another one of my favorite assignments, this one was all about Dijkstra's algorithm—finding the shortest weighted path through a graph using a modified breadth first search. It blew my mind when I started thinking about how Google Maps is essentially one huge uncomprehensible Dijkstra problem. I know that's an oversimplification, but still, it excites me. Regardless, it was refreshing to work on something that felt like it had real world applications.
AR basketball
At my first ever hackathon, my roommate and I tinkered with Apple's ARKit. Click the image for a screenshot of what we came up with. Not bad for 36 hours and not knowing anthing about app development.
sorting algorithms
For another homework assignment in my data structures and algorithms class, we had to implement quicksort and merge sort in C++.
cryogenics research
I worked on a research project during my time at Governor's School. We explored why computer chips fail in cryogenic conditions like deep space. I was exposed to basic physics and engineering, Autodesk Inventor, ANSYS, and materials science. Click the thumbnail to see our final poster.
chaparral video
While working at Harbortowne Marine, I had the opportunity to create this promo video for one of their listings using a single camera and iMovie. The camera wasn't the best for video shoots, and iMovie didn't do a great job of stabalizing all of the shots. All in all, we made the most of what we had.
my first website
This was my first experience with any code, and it's arguably the reason I'm studying computer science now. It was written completely from scratch (with a little help from Bootstrap), but no WYSIWYG editor. It looks pretty rough now, but I learned a lot about web development. I was very proud at the time.

my second website
Also pretty rough, but I was eager to learn more about web development after my first crack at it. It was left unfinished, but I still learned a lot, especially with incorporating a Content Management System this time.
