I'm a Physicist that used to specialized in magnetosphere physics, a field in space sciences/astronomy. Now, I look to other projects in the form of machine learning, simulations, and even video game development!
Here are some of my projects:
- Monte Carlo Simulations for Electron Ionization in the Atmosphere - A statistical modeling project that demonstrates some interesting properties of the atmosphere, starting with a few simple rules!
- Frost Thee - 2nd Place - My first game jam! Christmas theme top-down shooter. Save Santa and Christmas as a heroic snowman! I helped design shooting mechanics, worked on UI, and program flow.
- Orbital Mechanic - 1st Place - A curvilinear platformer where you fix handsome satellites! I designed the curvilinear platforming mechanics, UI, and program flow.
