Overstimulated March 2019
🏆 1st (out of 100+) of CoolMath Game Jam
I played a lot of CoolMathGames in middle and high school, so I was excited when I learned they were hosting their own game jam.
My idea was to create the coolest math G.A.M.E. which taught Geography, Arithmetic, Memory, and English all at once. After consideration, I ended up adding several minigames and two gamemodes to make it more exciting.
Overstimulated was chosen as the WINNER of the game jam!
Fall 2018 - Spring 2019 Virtual Cockpit
🏆 Faculty Choice at UGA's Captsone Showcase
As my Engineering Capstone project, I worked in a group of 3 to build a virtual cockpit with haptic feedback for an aerospace company. We tested many haptic devices, including gloves and ultrasound, to find the best solution to provide a realistic touch sensation. Our final iteration uses a robot arm with a button, which follows the user's hand. When the user presses a button in the virtual cockpit, the robot will maneuver so they push the pushbutton in real life.
This project will allow our client to rapidly protototype different cockpit designs, as well as provide a realistic flight experience for customers interested in purchasing a plane.
N3TW0RK October 2018 - January 2019
🏆 1st (of 36) in Capturing Science Contest
“N3TW0RK” is a real-time cooperative game for 10-14 players designed to simulate a computer network. Each player takes the role of a host – an end user on a computer network. Each host starts with three packets of data, which they must deliver to other hosts as fast as they can. However, hosts cannot just hand their packets over. Each host is connected to three neighbors, and hosts can only exchange information to their neighbors. Together, all the hosts and all their connections form a network which they all participate in. The group collectively wins once all packets have been successfully delivered to the correct recipients.

November 2018 Elemental Storm
🏆 162nd (of 764) in Ludum Dare 43 (Innovation)
Created in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 43, Elemental Storm is a unique boss-rush style game.
It features four bosses (based on the elements), each with distinct movement and attack patterns. Additionally, there is a fifth final boss, Grimmvich, who possesses all four attack patterns simultaneously, and is therefore much harder. The player can go for the good ending by defeating only Grimmvich, which will be difficult. If the player fights the minibosses, the Grimmvich fight will be easier, but some elements will disappear from the natural world.
Elemental Storm was in the top 10% for innovation and fun categories.
SuperViRus January 2018
Created for Global Game Jam 2018, SuperViRus is a uniquely challenging game which utilizes the strengths of Virtual Reality to create a nerve-wracking experience.

Breadwinner VR September 2016 - September 2017
I was approached by Nexcor Technologies to create an eye-catching VR game, to impress people at the largest baking industry expo (IBIE) in a month's time.
I decided to create a quality control game, where players have to sort good and bad bread at unrealistic speeds. This project makes full use of the HTC Vive's spatial tracking, highlighting the strengths of the medium.
