fun things i've done - sometimes with friends!

Chomp - A Maze Game 🥕

Imagine Fireboy and Watergirl getting lost in endless mazes...

A little two-player co-op game for a bit of fun and joy.

Started as a pre-employment refresher on how to code in Java. Became a lesson in why we don't make games in Java.

Hugely inspired by RyiSnow's Youtube series. Music by Pix

Informatics Leaderboard

Live leaderboard to track progress on informatics problems

I teach students informatics at a high school club, and I made this website so that they could have a bit of friendly competition in completing problems!

Features:

• Authentication using school Gmail accounts
• Leaderboard showing everyone's scores
• User profiles showing graphs for score over time and progress so far
• Ability to submit tokens for each problem completed, which grants points

The webapp was set up using:

• React frontend
• Firebase for hosting, auth, and storing the database

This website 😁

Finally setting up my own corner of the internet

This website was set up using:

• Jekyll
• HTML/CSS/Bootstrap

CSESoc Media

Not a technical project - but still fun!

In 2020, I was a subcommittee member, and in 2021 I've had the privilege of leading the team as a Media Director! With everything we do, we aim to create content that get the community talking, and highlight the varied voices of Computer Science at UNSW.

My favourite projects I've worked on:

• Pride in Computer Science: LGBTQ+ Roundtable podcast episode - the most fun I've ever had hosting
• Beginner's Guide to Vim series - I attempt to make basic Vim skills accessible to complete noobs
• Personal Project Showcase podcast series - over 1000 unique downloads!
• CSESoc 2021 First Year Camp video - I would even call it a documentary
• CSESoc 2021 First Year Guide - we've helped > 1.6k students find their bearings at uni!

The Celiac Paradox

Research into the genetic evolution of celiac disease

A year-long independent research project for HSC Science Extension.

Read the report, and check out the scripts I used to process genetic data!

TLDR: When I found out that predisposition to celiac disease was genetic, I thought I could find some cool evidence of natural selection - where ethnic groups from societies that started growing gluten-containing cereals earliest in history would have lower frequency of the target genes. Turns out I was wrong! Instead, I found evidence of some other genetic factors at play.
