other stuff i've been up to

meeple-a-thon

an earlier venture of mine was volunteering for Meeple-a-thon, a local board gaming charity event. i worked with the team on the 2022 event. i was tasked with inventory management and data cleanup. i had tons of fun and it was immensely successful- the raffles, which i managed the entries, raised some $15k all for local homeless youth.

fbla

2023 was my first year participating in fbla. i qualified for computer programming & coding, computer problem solving, and cyber security. ultimately, i only pursued computer programming & coding.
nathan fletcher, a friend, programmer and also a fellow mizzou student, and i collaborated on this program. we were tasked with creating an app to track school events. the prompt was here.

we took fifth, which qualified us for nationals. i'll update this whenever we can relase our project, post nationals.

update 07/01/23 - didnt place in top ten of nationals but still learned a ton. check the archived repository here

this website !

this website has been a fun project for me. i've been working with gatsby and using bulma for styling. i'm not super good at design, but i think it's coming along nicely, especially for my first time touching javascript, nevertheless react and gatsby.
