Whether you love or hate it, Monopoly has cemented itself as a classic tabletop board game and iconic household staple. Its immense popularity throughout the years has garnered dissenting opinions in regards to how the game would best be won. My motivation behind this project is to contribute to this discussion and add to the existing wealth of knowledge.
This project generates heatmaps of properties visited. The data is obtained from simulations with the number of players, turns, and games provided as input parameters. I hope that this can become a useful resource to the community and help to further…
Paper Mario has always been one of my favorite series and I’ve had a blast playing through and beating the newest installment for Nintendo Switch, Paper Mario: The Origami King.

Part of my frustration definitely came from my belief that some of these ring puzzles were unsolvable, so part of the intent of this mini-project was to validate whether or not that was true. The result was a Python script that produces the…
This summer, I decided to build a web store to organize the sale of my custom printed sweatshirts. You can visit this project at https://shopblth.com, but note that the checkout has been set in a developer sandbox mode so payments will be denied at this time.

For those that have ever started their own personal projects, I’m sure you’ve shared the familiar overwhelming feeling of having lots of unfiltered ideas about how to approach the beginning, but ambiguity regarding the most optimal path to the solution. The idea of selecting one idea among several potential ones is known to engineers as concept selection. Whether the initial collection of ideas came from mind mapping or brainstorming, we need some way to narrow down which solutions we think are most viable. One method of testing viability could be running small scale prototypes of each solution we envision and…
This summer, I built a web app that helps a municipality in Thailand keep track of the status of their assets while on the field. It was my first introduction to Full stack development so the code isn’t too complicated, but I wanted to share the impact that it has/could have on the community and hopefully inspire others (with or without background in CS) to go out and build something! You can find the web-app here: http://ec2-3-85-9-60.compute-1.amazonaws.com:3000/
