Projects
TheSquad
TheSquad is my longest running project containing many iterations over the past year. It was originally an experiment to replicate the data collection methods of player data gathering websites for the MOBA, League of Legends. Since then, TheSquad has evolved into a personally designed database and API using Flask and Google's Firebase Services as the backbone and Heroku as a hosting service. Instead of pulling singular player data like every other website, TheSquad pulls together data about groups of players, analyzes how they perform as a team, and uses machine learning to recommend champion choices in live games. Design diagrams and example output can be seen using the links below!
MPScrubber
Like many webscrappers before it, MPScrubber or "Marketplace Scrubber" is a freelance project, utilizing a variety of python tools and libraries, for individuals looking to have an edge in the used car marketplace. MPScrubber's primary feature is to retrieve the most recent additions to the used car marketplace online. The user then receives curated spreadsheet reports on the most recently added things. This gives them an edge by increasing the odds that they're the first ones to jump on a good deal. Although in it's early stages, this program may one day greatly aid small used car businesses to increase product diversity and lower research cost!
Zombiture
Zombiture - In extremely early development, Zombiture's goal is to provide an 8-bit styled, time-traveling, zombie ridden 2D arcade shooter experience to both PC and mobile devices. Being developed by an informal game development group called "HazyGames", this game will be built using the open source GoDot game engine and although we're excited, we are currently unsure of a release date. Project Link will currently only reference the current image!
Portfolio Website
This website was made or "bootstrapped" using the React framework's scaffolding system. From there, this website was designed using a straightforward folder structure containing distinct components that all lead to a simple yet functional presentation of me. The link below leads to the repository showing the various files used, as well as the various diagrams that coincide with the projects you see above.
