PORTFOLIO WEBSITE

My portfolio website is developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, incorporating the Three.js library for 3D graphics. It showcases my skills and projects through interactive and visually engaging elements, providing a modern and dynamic user experience.

SINGLE AND MULTI AGENT IN A MAZE GAME

This is my final year dissertation. I am using Python and the Pygame module, as they enable me to quickly develop an engaging GUI, which allows me to focus on the core objective: exploring/analysing various pathfinding strategies, ranging from simple approaches like DFS to more complex methods such as Q-learning.

ROBOTIC BUNNY

This project was developed as part of a university assignment during first year, where I collaborated with four other students to design and build a robotic bunny using LEGO bricks, the LeJOS EV3 platform, and Java programming. The goal was to create a robot that mimics the behaviour of a real bunny, with the ability to move around, respond to environmental stimuli, and interact with its surroundings. The project utilized various sensors to ensure the robot could avoid obstacles, react to sounds, and navigate based on color recognition.

VS CODE THEME EXTENSION

I created this custom theme to suit my exact preferences and give me full control over any customizations I want. The theme features a black and green colour scheme, complemented by vibrant neon syntax highlighting. It's available for download on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Full Stack Restaurant Application

During my second year, I worked in a group to develop a full-stack restaurant application designed to streamline the operations of restaurants. This web application allows users to manage orders, view and customize menus, and handle customer requests efficiently. As part of the project, I integrated various features such as an admin dashboard for managing users and orders, a chef interface for confirming and processing orders, and a waiter interface for handling customer requests and managing the status of orders. Built using Django, HTML, CSS, JS and a relational database, this application serves as a comprehensive tool to improve restaurant workflows and enhance customer experiences.
