Selected projects

Case-study-backed project work

TraverseOps - Field Operations Map & Work Orders

Field teams need asset maps, inspections, imports, reports, and work orders to stay connected around the selected record.

  • Modeled asset, inspection, work-order, import, report, and team-role flows for a MapLibre sample app designed around a Supabase-style relational data model with public-safe records.
  • Built map-first asset flows with status filters, selected-record panels, and direct inspection/work-order paths for field and supervisor use.
  • Documented production needs including RBAC, offline sync, audit logs, import validation, security concerns, and mobile field-device testing.

StreamCinema Vote Bot - Twitch Chat Voting + OBS Automation

Streamer-run movie nights need reliable chat voting, local movie selection, and OBS playback handoff.

  • Implemented TwitchIO chat commands for votes, results, current movie, remaining time, movie lists, and help output.
  • Built vote-state handling for changed votes, duplicate prevention, partial title matching, tie resolution, and fallback selection.
  • Integrated OBS WebSocket playback automation with local movie-folder scanning, OAuth token refresh, reconnect handling, and startup validation.
  • Added setup, security, and testing notes so Twitch credentials, OBS settings, and local media dependencies are explicit.

Movie Library - Public-Domain Voting Catalog

MovieBot viewers need a catalog for finding eligible public-domain titles and copying valid vote commands.

  • Built an HTML/CSS/JavaScript catalog for public-domain MovieBot queue data with title, year, runtime, and rating filters.
  • Implemented generated !vote commands with Clipboard API behavior and fallback copy handling to reduce chat input errors.
  • Rendered lazy-loaded poster cards with labels, normalized external poster URLs, and fixed image dimensions.
  • Maintained a full noscript fallback list so the catalog remains readable when JavaScript or poster loading fails.

Web Paint - Browser Canvas Drawing Tool

Browser drawing tools need predictable canvas state, history, imports, exports, and mobile-friendly controls.

  • Implemented Canvas 2D drawing modes for pencil, eraser, shapes, fill, text, selection, and preview rendering.
  • Built undo/redo with capped ImageData snapshots, import validation, PNG export, localStorage save/load, zoom, and canvas resizing.
  • Managed vanilla JavaScript state for active tools, colors, brush sizes, selection bounds, pointer capture, and status output.
  • Added mobile-friendly control panels and file guardrails for MIME type, file size, pixel count, and bounded canvas dimensions.

Portfolio Site - GitHub Pages Developer Portfolio

Recruiters need a fast path from selected work to resume details and contact links.

  • Reworked homepage positioning, selected-work hierarchy, resume/contact paths, navigation, footer links, metadata, and case-study routing.
  • Built reusable sections for project cards, technical strengths, notes, browser experiments, and work/case-study indexes.
  • Added mobile-first CSS, visible focus states, reduced-motion handling, sitemap/robots metadata, and social preview metadata.
  • Verified mobile navigation, public-page links, and browser controls across GitHub Pages pages.

Interactive Games/Tools - Browser Experiments

Browser experiments show input handling, local state, Canvas rendering, keyboard checks, and touch-friendly controls.

  • Implemented Canvas and DOM game loops for Mini Golf, Asteroid Drift, Snake, Brick Breaker, 2048, Minefield Sweep, and Flappy Workbench.
  • Built keyboard/touch input, pause/restart/fullscreen controls, localStorage best scores, and reduced-motion handling across games.
  • Modeled game-specific logic including collision checks, board transforms, recursive reveals, input buffering, obstacle spawning, and scoring.
  • Added visible controls, live status text, board/cell labels where applicable, and mobile play instructions.
