Apple Tea

Currently still in development. With the Express framework wrapping Node.JS, we created a server for all of our clients to connect together through Socket.IO. React and Flux was used to build the frontend. React was also used for server side rendering making Appletea an isomorphic application. MongoDB was used for our storage. There were also many other tools, frameworks, and algorithms used throughout the application. With our small team, Agile development was used as our way in incremental builds.

Sir Prance

is a mobile game built on both the Android and IOS devices. Implementation uses concepts of Object Oriented Programming, timer callbacks (State machines), animations, view controllers, and etc. We went through the entire process from downloading Android Studios and XCode to uploading the game onto the app stores. Check out Sir Prance on your device's app store. Download and play!

Vent DJ

is an innovative way to listen to music, allowing you to create a playlist that consists of Youtube videos and SoundCloud tracks. Start your search with your favorite songs. Add them to your queue by clicking the title, and enjoy your newly generated playlist. Vent DJ incorporates different methods in playing the queue depending if the shuffle or loop is on.

Vent Tag

builds upon Spotify, allowing users to add hashtags to songs on Spotify. Using Spotify's API, we acquired user's playlists and tracks to be displayed. Users can add hashtags to any given song. Afterwards, input a 'hashtag' and the query on the search bar, generating a playlist on Spotify with the songs that contain the hashtags. This makes new ways to store and share music. Vent Tag uses Parse to store the datas. Each hashtag is unique to the users who logged in. This was the first project Vent Origins worked on and was not the last.

RCart

is an Android application and project of UCR's Software Engineering course. Working in a small team to emulate a company-like scenario, we designed an application that has similar features to GasBuddy (Finding cheap gases in the world). We had to extend the functionalities to also include shopping products as well. We used several API's including the Gas Feed API which gave prices all over America, the Mashery API which gave prices of products from everyday shopping stores, and the Google Maps/Places API for routing to these locations.

NES Emulator

As part of my Senior Design course, which was done as a summer study abroad course in Lausanne Switzerland, we worked as a group to tackle something that dealt with both hardware and software. What better way to explore FPGAs with writing an entire NES emulator from scratch! To put it into perspective, what took years for Nintendo to do, we had to do with a team of 5 in a given school quarter.

This Website (V2)

I wanted to build a website that represents me. At first I loved the idea of having only one page that can be displayed at a time. For my first personal website, I built it in a way where each page is locked to the screen, and to navigate through each page the user has to either click on the arrows or scroll one page at a time. As my UI/UX intuition began to change, I realized that it could be bothersome for people to navigate through the website. For version 2, I decided to make it a static one page that can scroll freely to everything. This quick change made me realize how much more elagant a simple design may be.
