The following are projects that I have created that encompass skills other than the focus on portfolios with projects such as robotics, music composition, program development, writing editing, and technical writing.
Game Design Concentration at the University of Washington Tacoma
Duration:
February 2025 to Present
Current Position:
Committee Member
Description:
Initially starting as the student representative at the start of the committee to now being a recently graduated and UWT alumni committee member and with current goals that the committee has decided on that I will come back to SET as a paid mentor through the program. I have both created opportunities for the committee to gain insight from people involved with the video game industry such as game developers and also attended interviews and meetings that have discussed the core focuses that the prospective program wants to achieve while also making sure to add focuses from the student body as well.
Challenges and What Was Learned:
The main things that I have learned so far are how programs are created but also about how higher academia works and what it’s like to collaborate on a team of working with those who have taught and mentored. Additionally, this project so far has expanded both my networking capabilities and creativity in project planning as it has had a lot of communication within the community to help in gaining the insight to make a strong and effective program.
Records of Braennulon - Editor
Duration:
February 2021 to Present
Description:
Records of Braennulon is a fantasy isekai book series that following different protagonists in each book between the fantasy world of Braennulon and a present-day world.
Technology Used:
Notion, Discord, and Google Docs
Challenges and What Was Learned:
I learned how to edit writing and collectively brainstorm ideas for the story in a large scale nature while also in the future being able to use and also expand my skills in website development and marketing skills to help my friend who is writing the book with promoting the book
Grandmas vs. Unhappiness Main OST
Duration:
January 2025 to March 2025
Description:
This soundtrack was created to help create music for the Grandmas vs. Unhappiness video game with an orchestral base to the instrumentation.
Technology Used:
GarageBand, MuseScore, DaVinci Resolve, and YouTube
Challenges and What Was Learned:
In this project, I learned how to turn melodic ideas into music along with parts of music composition I should learn more about such as chord progressions and advanced music theory to help in continuously improving my music composition skills over time as a hobby. Additionally, I learned how to use skills that I already have while also learning new skills in a limited amount of time by discovering my own creative process such as recording a song on the clarinet, then transposing the audio into sheet music, and developoing the sheet music into a song.
The xylophone robot is a robot that the IEEE UWT Student Branch created that can play a xylophone autonomously which can be programmed to play any song that uses up to four different notes and can play chords in its current iteration.
Technology Used:
Python and Arduino
Challenges and What Was Learned:
From this project, I learned a lot about how to develop an electronics system that works based on an Arduino and also how to each people robotics skills as I served as a secondary lead on the project.
Note: The video below shows the xylophone robot working in an autonomous run playing the song "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
