Personal Projects

A collection of coding projects that I have worked on in my free time and during my studies at the University of Washington.

Annoying Goose Browser Extension

• Developed a browser extension using JavaScript and the Chrome Extension API
• Explored how subtle interactions can create memorable user experiences
• Iteratively fixed bugs and added features to the extension based on user feedback
• Achieved over 7,000 weekly active users

Dungeon Adventure Game

• Led a team of two in iteratively developing a dungeon adventure game in an Agile manner with user stories
• Utilized multiple design patterns such as MVC, Singleton, Memento, Builder, Factory, and Mock Object
• Experienced the SDLC by writing an SRS document, designing UML diagrams, implementing the designs in sprints, and deploying the game as an installable application

Procedural Terrain Generation Tool

• Custom implemented the Wave Function Collapse Algorithm, which follows local constraints to collapse cells into tiles, borrowing concepts from Quantum Mechanics and Information Theory.
• Designed a web interface to visualize the algorithm in action and generate custom images.
• Conducted performance analysis on different implementations of the algorithm using Python, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the terrain generation.
• The professor who oversaw the project stated my new twists on the implementation were likely novel ideas for terrain generation.
