The Dungeon

Personal

A retro text-based adventure game originally built in C++ and ported to the web, inspired by a simple dungeon crawler I used to play on my Kindle paperwhite (back when they had games!). The Dungeon features turn-based combat, inventory management, enemy encounters, and a branching storyline. There was an extra credit option in my class to create a simple text based game in the first half of the semester. I got very excited and added more to the storyline past this but the code was very clunky since I was brute forcing it. This is the form my final project took with actual battle mechanics, an inventory system, and the ability to scale it up. Unfortunately, I never went back to add more after I submitted my project, but maybe one day! Will you be brave enough to venture into The Dungeon?

The Optimization of ex situ Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry on the Inventory of Sexually Propagated Coral Recruits

Professional

Conducted a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry for monitoring sexually propagated coral recruits in a controlled ex situ environment. Wrote the Recruit SfM Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Mote Marine Laboratory.

Assessing efficacy of nuisance species removal using Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry

Professional

Utilized R statistical environment to analyze data collected from virtual point intercept surveys in Viscore of 6 different reef sites in Eastern Dry Rocks, a reef in the Florida Keys, to assess the efficacy of nuisance species removal (algae, encrusting zoanthids, and soft corals) on outplanted coral growth.
