Animeguess Game

Daily guessing game for Japanese animation

A daily guessing game for Japanese animation with a Svelte frontend and a serverless Python backend.

A fun game to test your knowledge on Japanese animations. With a new picture each day, you can come back daily to continue your streak! With up to 6 guesses daily, for each one that is missed, an easier picture will be shown to help you guess the game.

A frontend written custom for this specific application was built using the Svelte framework, consisting of Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Hosted in S3 behind Cloudflare for extra protection.

Using a full serverless architecture for the backend, it is completely hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Utilizing an API Gateway and Lambda functions, the application should scale very sufficiently.

Video Game Controller

A basic game controller for a popular rhythm game: Sound Voltex

Arcade machines are typically very expensive so it's sometimes better to just play at home instead. With this specific game, you could make your own controller and use an Arduino as the main board.

A simple yet functional program running on an Arduino; it only requires an Arduino Leonardo, six buttons, and two rotary encoders. Once it's all wired up, it can emulate a keyboard and mouse, allowing you to play the game.

Discord Chat Bot

A chat bot for Discord

A discord chat bot written in Go. Ported from a previous version in Javascript.

A fun chat bot that has many features to respond to different commands. The core feature of the bot is written to allow users to request an endless amount of different images from many different sources. But also includes small features such rolling a die or picking a random number, but the list is plentiful.

From dogs to cats, or from nature to computers, any image is possible with this bot. Just send a request and it can search through reddit or imgur for an image and post for all to see.

Homelab Server

Homelab server infrastructure

To better understand and develop new skills, having a on-site infrastructure can make learning much easier. Having many machines and a large storage space, providing connections between the servers allows for a robust infrastructure.

Utilizing mainly Linux operating systems, configuring and administrating systems utilizing Docker and Ansible allows for quick deployment and configurations.
