Upstream

Group Project

Roles: Programming, Design, Music, Writing

A physics-based platformer with a minimalist control scheme where the player controls a salmon who is trying to return to its place of birth in order to lay its eggs. Inspired by other games such as Getting Over it With Bennet Foddy, Celeste, Journey, and Never Alone, the game features challenging levels, a fun to use but hard to master control scheme, as well as an education and emotional narrative.

ConductVR

Group Project

Roles: Programming, Design, Sound, UI

The final culmination of my undergraduate degrees, and combination of my two education paths, this VR education tool will allow students to learn the art of conducting in a 3d space, with audio and visual aids to enhance the learning process. Conductor’s Podium: VR will also enable students of conducting to connect with their instructors for real-time, 3D, instruction from anywhere in the world. This project is currently in progress and scheduled for completion in Spring of 2024.

An atmospheric, first-person, horror game, with a 64×64 resolution, made for LowRezJam 2023. Players are trapped on the bottom of the ocean and must collect the broken parts of their submarine to escape.

Group Project

Roles: Gameplay, UI,

Multi-Dimensional Dic-Tac-Toe

Solo Project

A twist on the classic game of Tic-Tac-Toe that makes the game more engaging to play and less likely to result in a tie. I designed a 3D game mode which is just what it sounds like, Tic-Tac-Toe but with a 3×3×3 cube, as well as a “Multi-Dimensional” game mode. Multi-Dimensional mode starts as a 3D game, but every time a cube is selected, a flat or “normal” game is initiated, whoever wins the normal game, claims the cube. I also introduced “Override Moves” which allow players to play on top of their opponent in the flat game, and further shake up the pattern of traditional Tic-Tac-Toe.

Personal Website

Solo Project

This project is the website you are on right now! I wanted to learn a bit about web development and using HTML, CSS, and JS. This is the second iteration of this website. The first had a blue and white color theme, with a sliding navigation bar on the left side. This new iteration doesn't have any moving parts, yet, but unlike the first one, I feel it is much more enjoyable to use and view, as well as being much better formatted for any aspect ratio of screen.
