Team Leader in "Bicitaxi" Project

With the goal of creating a 'Bicitaxi' made of MDF, I led a team of 8 individuals into assembling a vehicle capable of carrying a driver and a passenger up and down a hill. In the beginning, I was only working on the Solid Works design, but after the previous team leader failed to take charge, I took it upon myself to drive the project. Creating a vehicle that marked the best time in the competition.




Game Designer

With the goal of recreating the classic arcade game 'Asteroids', I used phyton and py.games to develop a functioning game that would challenge the player. I used the program to limit the playing space to the screen by transporting the asteroids and the player to the opposite coordinates when reaching the edge and determining the velocity and direction of the asteroid randomly under a range.
