Things I’ve built, by category. Code is on GitHub and games are on itch.io where I can share them.
IT 299: Independent Honors Study, ISU
Rebuilt the User Preference-Aware Fake News Detection model from a published research paper. It combines graph neural networks with text encoders to classify news tweets as factual or non-factual, using both the tweet’s content and the history of the users who reposted it. Training, validation and hyperparameter tuning were automated with MLflow and Optuna.
MAT 268: Undergraduate Research in Mathematics, ISU
With Joseph Wittrock, trained a virtual spider agent in Unity to follow a moving target without falling over. Presented the poster at the ISU Research Symposium.
IT 388, ISU (team of 5)
Implemented the parallel shortest-path algorithm from a published research paper in three versions: sequential, OpenMP and MPI. Built a random connected-graph generator and a test harness that checks the results and compares run times. Ran the experiments on the Expanse supercomputer with batch job scripts.
A Python program for experimenting with simplicial complexes, graph theory and 3D rendering. Completed as part of an Honors Learning Experience in Papa Sissokho’s Discrete Mathematics class.
A simple math game you play from the command line, built while learning Go.
Contract · Full-stack engineering
A web platform that verifies the credentials of professionals, with membership billing, digital wallet passes, a public verification page and automated reminders. Every change is tested and deployed automatically.
Private client project — available to discuss in interviews.
Contract · Web development
A redesign that moves a multi-location clinic’s website off a no-code builder, onto fast static pages built with search engine optimization in mind.

Psst: open the eye on the home page, give the planet a spin, and look for the one gold thing that isn’t a page.
Brackeys Game Jam 2021.2
An action game in which you survive an endless onslaught of angry 2D polygons.
Early projects from my first blog, Schedule, Learn, Program, and GitHub, made in high school and right after.
An offline two-player chess game. Clicking a piece highlights its legal moves, and calculating those moves was the main challenge.
A simulation of chaotic double-pendulum motion.
A three-part blog series and Jupyter notebook covering vectors, matrices, qubit states and tensors.
A biplane with lift, drag and thrust physics that can take off and maneuver like a real plane.
A stick-figure fighter with character and map selection, plus smooth blending between move, crouch, jump and punch animations.
One of my first Unity projects: a top-down exploration game with a survival mode for testing combat and enemies that react to the player.
A mod of the game Shadow Bots, made in a high school game design class. My first Unity project.
