Projects

Univibe

Univibe is a campus exploration app that helps students share and discover interesting places around campus. Users can create their own profiles and post about unique places or events around their university, and earn awards based on their activity on the app!

WLP4 Compiler

WLP4 is a programming language that is a subset of C++. WLP4 programs are compiled into MIPS assembly code which are then converted and linked to machine code to execute the users written program. The compiler goes through the 4 main stages of compilation, including scanning, parsing, context-sensative analysis, and code generation. Another language to learn :)

YelpCamp

YelpCamp is an application where users can create profiles and upload their favourite campsites for others to see. Users can view the campground posts of others and write reviews for them. It also features an interactive cluster map using geolocation to track campgrounds' locations.

Tales of Nuiryn

Tales of Nuiryn is a 3D fantasy RPG game developed in Unity. This was a submission for the 2020 Game Institute's Game Jam, where I was one of the lead developers. Our submission also received an award for being the most creative (playable demo available soon)!

Oakwald Escapade

Oakwald Escapade is a 2D game where there is a lone hunter in a field that has to fight off waves of ghosts for survival. Players can choose between 4 maps with different difficulties, with each wave of ghosts getting proggesively harder. After beating 4 waves, the player wins the game.

Craps!

Craps is a common dice game that is played in casinos. It is a game of chance, where players bet on the outcomes of a pair of dice. This iOS application re-creates this game, but virtually. Note that the app is not published on the app store, but the repo is available.
