I am an experienced video game developer and software engineer with hands-on experience in projects like Call of Duty, casino slot machines, and military weapon systems. Holding both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science, I focused my studies on cyber security and video game development.
In addition to my industry background, I have spent eight years as an educator and tutor, with three years as an online tutor, two years as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, and three years as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, helping students in the field of computer science and various core subjects. My interests encompass game development, software development, cyber security, artificial intelligence, web development, and more.
UNL GDC Admin Database (Python, MySQL, HTML5, CSS3)
The UNL Game Development Club's Admin Database was created as both a class project and a club project. This database was designed to track club member information, including year, major, meeting attendance, event attendance, and contact information. As part of the class project, this information was put into several D3JS templates to visualize the data in four different charts. The project and the report can be found at the GitHub link below. In addition to the class project, I developed a script to interface with this database that sent emails to all club members using their registered information.
