About

I'm a software developer. Check out my github.

Took a break from software development for a bit in order to experience more of life. Now im back and ready to crush it! My hobbies are playing the Magic: The Gathering card game, video games, and strength training. Admittedly I have let the strength training fall off a bit. I kindof enjoy watching the Atlanta Falcons, but it's been tough ever since the dreaded 2016 Super Bowl.

Projects

Planeboard

AI Practice Site where user can drop in an excel file to train a machine learning model and calculate predictions. Developed without a machine learning library to help myself learn.

Bonk A musical idle game inspired from pendulum polyrhythms. Available on Steam. Intended to be played in the background with sound that allows for focusing / concentration. Created in Unity with c#

Chess AI Reinforcement Machine learning model that taught itself the rules of chess. Not intended to be any good at chess, just a project to see how difficult it is for machine learning to train a model to follow the rules of chess. Created with TensorFlow. Machine learning coded in Python. Front-end with html/css/js. Leveraged Google Colab to train the model. I think in order to train it 'better' would require more resources, maybe something like Google Cloud Run. Also published an interface with Docker but I took that down as its not really useful.

Space Attack - Stop the Alien Invasion! iOS game developed with SpiteKit. Worked with a friend for all the artwork. Features included: accelerometer controls, GameCenter achievements, High-Score board, multiple weapons(guided missle, machine gun, laser, chain-lightning), upgradable weapons, music, sound effects, power-ups(shield, damage-boost). Now unavailable since I let my apple developer license lapse.

Type - Text editor

macOS Text Editor focused on markdown. Designed to support multiple languages, but will focus on markdown by allowing a web preview. Multi- threaded support on syntax highlighting and code grouping to allow uninterrupted keystroke input when working with large documents. Supports code folding and drag-and-drop of code groups.

BWC - Barbell Weight Calculator iOS app where user inputs desired weight to lift, and then displays which plates to put on the bar. motivation for creating this was specifically for microplates support (plates less than 2.5 pounds).

World of Warcraft Addons
Made several addons for World of Wacraft. As you can see, my naming is very clever

• TNEPIPVP - Changes targeting keybind to target players in player-vs-player instances
• MLAOET - Supplemental addon to MouseLook. Automatically distables MouseLook when player begins targeting with an AOE ground-targeted ability
• ASNIA - Turns on 'Always Show Nameplates' when player enters an Arena instance
• BGWinRate classic - tracks battleground wins and losses

Company of Heroes Maps
I liked this game. So I wasted a bunch of time building custom maps for me and my friends to play.

i = 0;

while (!deck.isInOrder()) {
    print 'Iteration ' + i;
    deck.shuffle();
    i++;
}

print 'It took ' + i + ' iterations to sort the deck.';
