Portfolio
Featured Projects
You Are Loved App
React Native | Firebase | Github | Expo
The You Are Loved App is a mental health platform where users can share their feelings with their peers. I helped develop the friends list page, implementing features such as adding, searching, and viewing friends via a friend code or by scanning a QR code.
Fridge Buddy App
Java | Node.js | Firebase | API’s | GitHub | Android Studio
FridgeBuddy is a computer vision application used to detect food items and recommend recipes using modern recipe API’s. My role on this project was “Database Specialist” and my main responsibility was maintaining a Firebase database to securely store user input and account information.
Circus Frenzy
C++ | OpenGL
Circus Frenzy is an arcade style game where the user must reach their objective without being captured by Bongo, a killer clown, using classic WASD + mouse first person movement controls. I implemented many features like first-person movement, lighting, and particle effects.
Calculator w/ Built In Parser
C++
Implemented an advanced calculator, which can assign and store variables and use the variables in operations. The built in parser used data structures (stack and heap) to perform operations on user input in the correct order, according to PEMDAS.
2048 Game Copycat
Java | JavaFX
Created a copycat version of the popular mobile game, 2048, using JavaFX to create the GUI. Users can use the keyboard arrows to mimic the controls of the mobile game.
Spell Checker and Autocomplete

Implemented spell checking and autocomplete functionality using advanced data structures (hash-table, bst, trie). The functionality worked similar to that of a normal word processor (i.e Microsoft Word).
