Role: Applying matrices
Date: November 2020
Tools: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word
Techniques: Matrices, 3D transformation, perspective projection
About the project: This project was exploring plotting a house in excel using 3D matrices, projecting the house, and applying transformation matrices to produce different effects on the house and to view it from different angles.
My Involvement: I worked out the 3d coordinates of the house (on paper) and added the coordinates to a spreadsheet and then converted the coordinates into matrices. After that, I added a perspective projection matrix and then applied transformation matrices to the house's matrices.

Drakaero
-
Members: One game designer, three game artists and two game programmers
Role: Game Programmer
Date: April 2020
Tools: Unity 2018, Photoshop and Github
Techniques: C#, Unity Game Engine
About the game: Drakaero follows the story of a young woman, born from a long line of dragon riders, a rare commodity in the kingdom warriors, who are born with special gifts that allow them to tame and harness a dragon. They can also communicate and understand dragons. Even rarer, however, is one that is female. She joined the military with mixed reception, many were not confident that she could keep up with the high workload, not to mention her taboo birth brought her unnecessary harassment; but after many years of prejudice and judgement, she quickly climbed up the ranks to become one of the kingdoms most affluent warriors. Her prideful role at the top of the ranks now hangs in the balance, as the king has sent her on her most dangerous mission yet, to prove herself worthy of being one of the king's guards. Some would call this mission suicide, but for her, it was the chance she needed to prove all that doubted her wrong and reclaim the pride of her race.
My Involvement: I was one of the two programmers on the Drakaero project. I was tasked with working on the enemies, their movement, shooting and health mechanics. After that, I worked on the sound programming implementing the theme song into the game. I also worked on the main menu user interface.
Note: This is an early build concept and it does not include final pieces of the artists' work.

Client: Nicholas Paterson
Role: Designer and Developer
Date: July 2019
Tools: Sublime text 3, Netlify and Github
Techniques: Html, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, PHP, SQL
About the website: A website for a visual artist, to showcase his artworks. Mr Paterson mainly lives in Thailand, but when he had to travel for a job in Togo he was forced to leave many of his artwork in Thailand sice constantly moving them may cause damage to the artworks. The website will enable him to collect all his artworks together and post them online which allow people to access his artworks easily. It will be easier for him as well to access his artworks when he had travelled abroad.
My Involvement: I was tasked with designing, developing and publishing the website. I designed the website and showed the client to see the features he would like to add or remove. When the client was satisfied with the design, I moved on to implementation stage. I built the website and ocassionally showed my client the progress to see what he liked so far or what he didn't like. After the website was ready, I published it using Github and Netlify.
