📜 About Me

I am a computer science major with a 4.0 GPA studying at the University of British Columbia. I have educated myself on numerous programming languages and frameworks: Javascript (React.js, Node.js, Three.js, React-native, JQuery, Mongoose, several Node.js libraries like Express.js, etc.), HTML (ejs), CSS (Bootstrap), Java (JUnit, Swing), MongoDB, C#, Python (NumPy), Lua, and Racket. In each new language, framework, or library, I always learn by constructing challenging projects, and as such I believe I would be able to learn any new package or language very quickly. In my free time, I like to play video games, basketball, and solve leet code problems.

‍🚀 Projects

2-Dimensional Physics Engine

Built a 2-dimensional GUI physics engine in Java to simulate objects based on Newton's three laws of motion and conservation of momentum.
Utilized event listeners to record keyboard and mouse motion events to construct a heavily interactive application
Implemented OOP principles and the MVC pattern for a successful and interactive experience.
Incorporated data persistence with CRUD data-parsing algorithms on JSON files to store and load application states.
Constructed JUnit tests to ensure proper functionality of code while developing
Drew clear and precise UML diagrams to convey models of class interactions.

Personal Portfolio Website

Developed a portfolio website that employed a 3D background rendered by a rotating camera system to view detailed models of the Earth and moon in space.
Utilized Three.js to implement shaders, bump maps, specular maps, post-processing, ambient and dynamic lighting on 3D WebGL objects.
Constructed with Vue.js to display a page structured with Bootstrap and scroll event listeners from JQuery
Hosted the website using github-pages linked to a custom domain observed by google analytics.
Optimized the website’s search engine presence with relevant sitemaps, backlinks, meta-tags which yielded 200+ unique visitors from 8 different countries
