Projects
Here are a few games, books, and other ideas I am already working on!
Run!
Lead Developer
This game is a endless runner zombie game from a top down perspective. As you find yourself deep in the heart of a never ending zombie apocalypse, you must continue to run, find shelter, and survive as long as possible. Though it may seem simplistic, this game will continue to ramp up the difficulty and push you to your decision making limits. This game is being made in the Godot Engine, and while there is still a lot left to go, is off to a great start.
Photography

I love taking pictures of the scenery around the area, and often post it on social media. In the main title page, the picture of the hills was one that I took. Here is another one of my favorite pictures that I have taken. Take a look at more of them here:

Deja Vu
Lead Developer
This app allowed for songs from the hit TV show Initial D to be played depending on different conditions of the user's car. It was a big success at local car shows and garnered around 1000 total downloads. We took the app down for some maintenance and updating, but it will be back up sometime soon!
SpotiRecommend
Version 3.1
Made in Python3
This project was made in when I had exhausted all my favorite music one day. I needed more personalized and specific recommendations, and so I created this app with my own algorithm for finding similar songs. It takes the aspects of the inputted song and compares it to Spotify's massive database and finds a list of 20 similar songs, sorting it from most popular to least.

Genesis
Version 1.2
Made in Python3
This code works as a substitute for Siri or Alexa, and lives entirely on your desktop! It will activate with a designated keyword, and will use the latest OpenAI resources to get you the best answer possible.

The Snarky Calculator
Version 1.2
Made in Python3
This is a simple calculator app, with a twist. The calculator will interact directly with the user depending on the calculations being done and what the answer is!

Books in Progress:
Autocria
Autocria is a story about what it truly means to be alone. The story follows a new age dystopian, where the only things to exist are two simple houses and two even simpler people. Having both known only isolation, they struggle to find comfort in each other's presence, desperately searching for an answer to what happened to the people they know and love. Autocria is still in the preliminary writing phase, but I would love to begin editing this summer.
The Art of Being Human
This book is a bit of a personal secret, but in general terms, it is a deep philosophical search into what it means to be human, what being conscious means, and what we were put on this earth to do.
