Projects

Share

Share is a social networking and online marketplace that allows members to lend and borrow items with fellow neighbors. Share users can list their items, freely adjust daily borrow fees and time limits, and engage in lending with other users. Users can also leave reviews and message others directly. My roles in this four person team included being the sole designer, lead front end developer, and backend support. This full-stack application was made using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, MySQL, Java, SpringBoot, Thymeleaf and multiple APIs. This application is also completely mobile-responsive with all original assets.



Adlister (Manga Trader)

Find, sell and browse all types of manga with Manga Trader. Create your own account, log in and see what other manga lovers post and share. This full stack application utilizes a user-centered MySQL database along with servlets and JSPs created using Java.



The Witch's Lair (Console)

The Witch's Lair is a console based game utilizing Java and Object-Oriented Programming. Players have the ability to choose their own class, have special abilities, fight unique enemies and collect items all while searching this magical world, with the story being specially tailored to their actions.
