Micromouse is a robotics competition where teams compete to create and program a small (mouse-sized) robot to solve a maze. The robot functions completely autonomously (without any remote-control) and has to navigate to the center of the maze with no prior information.

As software lead, I implemented a tweaked version of the A* search algorithm to navigate the maze, and closed loop sensor control in order to avoid crashing into walls.

We used the Teensy 3.1 as an embedded microcontroller and the Arduino platform to program the robot.

In 2023, we earned a Silver award at the National Robotics Challenge.

Myself and another former member of that team continued developing small autonomous robots with our entry into the APEC 2025 Micromouse contest.

These shared programs can be run, tweaked, forked, and voted upon. You can leave feedback on programs or subscribe to creators whose programs you like.

I began the project in 2017. I now consider it finished and am no longer updating the code. OurJSEditor is the largest sample of code I've ever written.

It is based on the Django web framework for Python. There are parts of the front-end written with and without React.

It is source-available on Github. I've taken contributions both big and small, but I'm the only one who has worked on it consistently.

S. Pancakes is a fun card game for two to five players with interesting characters and artwork, created by a member of my local community.

I worked with him to turn the physical card game into a real-time app. In the app, I was able to recreate the multiplayer game and creative graphics of the original. It was briefly available on the Apple app store in 2020.

The game logic is implemented in Lua on the phone and Python on the server, and the two establish real-time communication using websockets.

The app uses the Solar 2D mobile app framework to render the game itself.

Terra Magma is one of the most popular games on Khan Academy, with over 4,000 votes from users of the community, making it one of the top 20 programs on the website.

I originally learned programming by making games on Khan Academy, and this is my most popular.

Terra Magma uses KA's processing.js environment to allow me to render to a canvas.

It features collision detection, simple infinite world generation, and a parallax effect created by a custom 3D rendering system based on the artistic principle of linear perspective. (Not bad considering I finished it in 2016.)
