Projects

2023

I developed a Ruby-based web application for managing internal employee operations at a café. The system was built with a strong emphasis on the MVC (Model-View-Controller) structure and ensuring security measures to grant appropriate access levels for different user types.

2023

I produced a two-player competitive typing video game inspired by arcade, ASCII, and terminal. My role as producer involved leading the creative direction and overseeing project development of the game.

2021

I designed and developed a fully-responsive website for Pittsburgh's Duquesne Incline to learn HTML/CSS/Javascript. User stories, wireframes, and user testing was done to clarify site navigation.

Side Projects

Ongoing

An explorative vessel to play with the pseudo-anonymity of internet identity. I'm nurturing my childhood memories, anime-inspired fantasies, and nostalgic ideals with amalgamation doodles, stream-of-consciousness illustrations, and formal drawing studies on Instagram.

2022

A website journey + video homage to ASCII art and how the internet draws boundaries between reality and fantasy.

Writing

2022

A few articles that offer a glimpse into my design process/thinking and provide a bit of documentation on the steps involved in bringing a design from concept to fruition. Staying transparent and practicing articulation :-)
