I am a student passionate about learning and working with engineering. I challenge myself and work
very hard to achieve my goals. I am looking for an opportunity to learn and contribute. I promise to
put my best effort.

Software Projects
TRON Simulation Team Lead, Developer
Team Lead and Developer of a Java-built TRON game.
Worked on algorithmic programming of the AI and CPU-controlled players, along
with specifications and providing status reports.
This game involves networking concepts as well (uses server sockets), meaning the
user has three play modes:
Individually against the computer.
Choosing an individual player to go against.
Word Sorter
This applet uses a Scanner to organize a set of words in alphabetical order.
An ArrayList of Strings stores each inputted word. When the user has finished and enters a
number, the list is then organized using Insertion Sort.
IrregularPolygon
Developed a program specifically for students learning geometry, which determines the area and
perimeter of any 2D shape, given point coordinates; the shape is also subsequently drawn on the
screen.
In order to make it easier for students to find areas, the program uses Picks Theorem to
facilitate calculations.
MorseCode
Translates English into Morse code and vice-versa.
Takes each set of characters (English or Morse code), uses a Binary Search Tree to find the
respective requested language, and outputs the result.
