After learning if statements in C++ and applying concepts from discrete math, I decided to build a choice-driven story game. Since I didn’t yet know how to create a custom UI, I developed it in the console to focus on the logic and decision-making process behind the game.
In order to learn how to build User Interfaces, I built a basic version of the classic hangman game using HTML Canvas. Users can set a hidden word and submit guesses for unknown letters. For every wrong guess, a body part is drawn on the canvas until the hangman is complete.
An an exercise on gathering unstructured data in the real world that can be analyzed for a given purpose, I built a web scraping tool using Beautiful Soup. Given the importance of digital information and data today, I need to be comfortable aggregating and processing unstructured information that exists in the real world.
Vintage Wear, a small business based out of Minnesota, contracted me to build their ecommerce store, I used Shopify to create an interactive and dynamic online store. This project allowed me to design custom typography for the logo!
For 'For Our Shared Humanity,' I focused on enhancing user interactivity and creating an engaging experience. I designed the website's logo and incorporated hover effects and videos to make the site more dynamic and visually interesting.
For Nitrous Effect, I built a fully functioning online store that also prominently featured the company’s story. The project was crucial, as the company depended on the site’s functionality to effectively communicate its brand.
