My Projects

Electric Vehicle Efficiency Tracker | Personal

A console-based application using Node to collect, store, and view electric vehicle trip data to analyze factors that affect electric vehicle range. This included collecting route information (e.g. start and end locations, distance, time in route) as well as weather, battery drain, and climate control use data. Utilized Node’s puppeteer package to automate the collection of route information in kml files via Google Timeline, where an API was unavailable. Used route data to retrieve approximate weather temperature for each trip via a historical weather API. Implemented a console-based interface to collect car data (battery and climate control usage) for user selected trips, save the trips locally via JSON, and view and filter the trips by certain parameters for analysis.

Punch An Ork App | Personal

A console-based dice-rolling game using Node where players take on the role of a commander sending waves of grunts to fight a more formidable ork opponent. Includes an interactive interface for the player to select actions (attack, parry, or run) based on their current dicehand and health as well as automated computer actions based on the same. Partially converted the console-based app to a React leveraging state and hooks to track player, computer, and round information.
