Think Ahead is a complete puzzle game made in Unreal Engine 5, using primarily C++. The game was used to practice spatial reasoning skills and learn how to use procedural meshes in UE.
A mobile app built with the .NET Maui framework. It's called the Task Tracker app, a To-Do list app that showcases CRUD operations on a SQLite database. It also sticks to a decoupled “clean architecture” programming pattern, mixed with dependency injection and MVVM.
The Simple 2D Drawing Application is a user-friendly graphics tool developed in C++ using the SFML and TGUI libraries. Designed to provide an easy drawing experience, this application allows users to create and manipulate basic 2D shapes like lines, rectangles, and circles.
In This project, I explored the fundamentals of OpenGL, diving into 3D graphics programming. I developed an application that renders textured meshes with complex transformations, allowing for dynamic camera control and interactive mesh manipulation. Through implementing ambient, diffuse, and specular lighting, I've created a compelling scene that demonstrates a solid grasp of lighting models and real-time rendering techniques.
