Some things I've made

Note: I created a large project over the summer last year for Ridgeback Capital using Elasticsearch and AWS. The project was internal so unfortunately I can't share it here.

Settlers of Catan. A web version of the board game "Settlers of Catan." Group project from my sophomore year in college. The source code is here.
3d graphics project. Project from "3D programming" course in junior year. Mostly implemented by myself. Includes features like deferred rendering, shadows, normal mapping, and a fluid simulation.
Network Science Project. Small project, mostly a task of scraping data from the web and processing it in both R and Gephi.
Topology Project. Small project, mostly a task of cleaning, parsing, and manipulating reasonably large (20MB) data sets for analysis.
Macalester Schedule search. Small project, uses Elasticsearch and NodeJS to scrape the macalester fall schedule, upload the data to an ES server, and then allows me to search classes in a much more convenient fashion.
Internship application project. This is a small project I completed to apply for my internship at Ridgeback Capital. Unfortunately, and perhaps frustratingly, its offline right now. You'll have to take my word that it worked as intended!
Grinell Designs Homepage. Just a web design project. I wasn't a fan of having the images on the landing page be buttons, but this was important to my employer.
DB UI. This is a project I worked on years ago in highschool for a Systems programming course. Its a terminal based user interface for a provided "database". It was a really fun project, and as you can tell from the commits, I worked very hard on it. Looking back on it I'm actually impressed by the scope of it, it kind of exceeds some of the work I'm expected to complete today.
Terminal Doodle Jump. This is another project from Systems in highschool. Smaller, but still neat. Its an implementation of the iOS game Doodle Jump in terminal. It was fun to make.

Other things on this site

Leave a Message. This is a tiny app written in Go on the backend and Typescript on the frontend. Its inspired by a website (who's name I've forgotten) which would let you upload a link, and then redirect you to whatever link was last uploaded. The only difference is that this just passes messages.
Town Square. Another toy app in Go and TypeScript. It's a 2D 'physical' and ephemeral chat room. My dream was to have a ton of people in here and see what happens.
