My wife and I do meal planning every week before making a shopping list and kept feeling like it was more work than it needed to be and we kept repeating meals every week. We decided to try something different where we put all our meals onto flashcards, categorize them, and then draw the next one in line based on what we needed for a given day. We had 3 categories: easy, hard, and leftovers. The problem with this analog approach is that each meal can only be in one category and we wanted a better way of doing this. That's where the idea for Platter Palette came from. This is a very new project, so it hasn't been deployed yet, but I look forward to sharing it and even have ideas to use it as a side-hustle project. Platter Palette allows a user to set up their "kitchen" and add all the meals that they want to cook in their kitchen. You can then go through your calendar and mark days with any categories needed to for the given day. It then automatically populates the meals for each day, satisfying the categories. I have plans to add several paid features in the future. One big one is to invite other users to your kitchen with various permissions to edit or view certain things in the kitchen or meal schedule. This would be great for a family! I also want to eventually add two more large features that would build off of each other. The first is to add recipes for each meal. The second is to use the recipes to build out the grocery list for the week. These could really streamline the process of meal planning and creating a grocery list each week and could take a fraction of the time that it does currently. My project is private on Gitlab since I have plans to hopefully use it to generate money in the future, but if you request viewing access to it I can review your request. I will be sharing an image as soon as I have a little more content to show.

myWWU is the student portal site used by all students at Walla Walla University. I have played a large part in the development and maintenance of this app, working as a fullstack developer, with more of a focus on the UI portion.

A friend and I wanted to be able to build and record workouts, so we built a web application to do that for us. It is still in development, needing some enhancements, but it is fully functional.

This was my senior project and involved some things that were very new to me. Walla Walla University's engineering department has built a bioprinter over the last few years and they are always looking to improve the current design. I worked in a team of four, with a mechanical engineer and two bioengineers, in the 2019-2020 school year to make improvements. My portion of the project was to build a machine vision system that could monitor prints and record any errors with the filament stream. I had to do some self-learning on machine learning to get this working and used python, which I had not used all that much previously.

The WWU Payment site is a work related project and is exactly what it sounds like. It is a place to conveniently make payments to different school accounts without going into the office. I mostly worked on the UI and learned a lot about Vue-Router and Vuex in the process. This was the most complicated project that I had used Vue-Router up to this point and the first project that I had used Vuex for.

This was a project that I worked on for my digital design class. This RISC processor had a 16-bit custom written instruction set. I really enjoyed working on this one, but I think I was getting in a little bit over my head. It was a great learning experience and got me interested in the field of digital design. I never quite completed it, but I hope to be able to finish it sometime in the future.

This app was completely written by myself and another student worker to be used for recording students checking in and out at WWU's assembly. This was the first and only UWP site that I have worked on and was an interesting challenge. I did mostly the UI while the other worker did the backend.

For my computer graphics class we each had to create an original project that showcased some of the things that we had learned, so I made a game of checkers. This was written entirely in Javascript which proved to be difficult because of non-strict typing which I have grown used to while mostly working with PHP. It used Babylon.js , a JS graphics package, so that the app could be viewed in a browser.

For my class on programming embedded and real-time operating systems we had to program a car to be able to follow a set path on a grid using a camera to see the black lines on the white floor. I worked with one other classmate and we successfully were able to make the car follow the grid.

I worked remotely for a few months as a freelance web developer for Systema Medical, Inc., a startup company based in Spokane, WA. My main task was working on the frontend with another developer, and we were trying something new by using grid css to construct the visible layout. This was built using ReactJS and TailwindCSS

The Degree Planner app helps students easily organize and plan their academic careers. Users can select programs and courses, and the app generates a personalized schedule based on available classes and program requirements. Students can then customize their schedules by rearranging courses to fit their preferences and needs, offering flexibility and convenience throughout their academic journey.

The Advisee Relationship Management app serves as a comprehensive hub for student advising. It allows students and advisors to schedule appointments, communicate via messaging, and access contact information easily. Advisors can add notes, set holds, create action items, and manage various advising tasks, while department managers can oversee advisors, assign tasks, and manage appointments. Built with a TypeScript React frontend and a Kotlin backend, the app is now evolving with the integration of HTMX technology for enhanced functionality.
