Projects
Senior Project: GameBoy Games
The goal for this project was to create 4 games based off of older/classical video game systems. In our case we chose to create games for the
GameBoy(original). For our emulator we used a Gameboy emulator called BGB. We also used the GameBoy Developers Kit(GBDK) library to help us build our four games. We went from building a text-based game to a fixed screen game into a side-scroller game, and lastly, to our final game, which we applied everything we learned from the previous games into one.

Project: Robotic Arm System
A robotic arm is controlled by a Raspberry Pi (RPi) which sends commands via MQTT to the robotic arm. MQTT is a messaging protocol that allows the robotic arm to receive any message published to the topic that the robotic arm is subscribed to.
The Raspberry Pi runs a Python code that is both controlling the robotic arm and receiving the MQTT messages. This enables the RPi to control the arm by sending wireless commands.
Language: Python
Project: Meeting Planner Application
This project is an Event/Meeting Scheduler application for customers to use, which is able to help them schedule meetings amongst a group of people. They will also be able to add events to their calendars’, set up meeting times, and have the ability to see the least conflicting and most preferred meeting time for all selected attendees. The user will be prompted when opening the application starting off with a log-in interface.
