Howdy! I'm a SWE II with 2 years platform eng and 3 years web dev experience. See some projects below.

Java 2D Platformer

Learned basic Java by making a 2D platformer. Features a custom physics engine + tile rendering engine, parallax background, sound effects, collectibles, NPC birds, and a star rating.

FlyDE

In-browser development environment that automatically saves to localStorage on file save. Syntax highlighting, tab detection, and .zip file project downloading.

Handwritten Digit Identification

Draw a digit and see if the Neural Network can guess it. Uses a TensorFlow model trained locally, but run with JavaScript in-browser. Wrong? Retrain it to guess correctly.

Lightweight Syntax Highlighter

Syntax highlighting with React in a surprisingly difficult problem - solved here with a pre displayed over a textarea. Allows custom RegEx-to-color matching.

K-Means Color Space Clustering

Color space is just 3-dimensional data points - a clustering algorithm like K-Means can be used to organize these colors into k groups, and recolor the image to give a cartoon effect.

Verlet Integration Net

One of my favorites from a few years back, a Verlet integration implementation that mimics stress and stretch on the rope. Try clicking around to interact.

Fresco - Better Canvas UI

The real one is slow and outdated, and quite a bit of time is wasted in the cluttered menus. Here's a concept with spotlight-like search and locally-stored data for quicker class access.

Particle Sim

2d particle interactions simulated with simple statics formulas, with vector fields to display field strength.

K-Means Visualization

Simple K-Means visualization for understanding how the algorithm works. Forms identifiable sections, showing the downside of this clustering method.

Brick Breaker Clone

Made for a class final project in high school.

Snow

3d-looking snow test that turned out decent

Massdrop LED Firmware Emulator

The Massdrop firmware is written in C, but that's pretty similar to JS. This emulator makes it easier to write custom firmware, which can then be translated to C and compiled to ARM.

A* Pathfinding, Animated

An animated version of the elegant A* Pathfinding algorithm as it finds its way through an environment. Edit tiles with the mouse.

Arcade Game 1

An old arcade game concept with an exponentially multiplying enemy. Use the arrow keys, and space to shoot.

How Does Facebook Do Confetti In-Site?

From what I could see, with an overlaid Canvas element and a transparent background. Here's a demo.

Do 2D Ions Form a Lattice Structure?

In 3D, that's how we get stable compounds like table salt (NaCl). Does the same hold for 2d interactions?

Nashville System Translator

Many songs use the I, V, VIm, IV structure for chord progressions ("one", "five", "six-minor", "four"), and many more simply add other chords from the root note's scale. This slider lets you see all of them, Nashville-System-style.

Canvas Platforming Engine

A 2D platformer demo, written purely in JavaScript. Tiles could be customized and mobs added to make something more playable.

Sparks!

Particle simulations never get old. Make some fireworks! (click for sparks, space to pause)

Taylor Series Approximation Visualization

Watch as the sin(x) function is approximated by increasing polynomials.

Verlet Rope

Verlet Integration method used to create realistic connected-node physics. Click around to move it.
