3D Interactive Environment

Computer Graphics Developer

Developed a fully interactive 3D environment simulating a realistic reading nook using low-polygon models including planes, boxes, cylinders, pyramids, and spheres. Applied textures from source images to accurately represent materials, and implemented multiple lighting types—spotlight and directional—with ambient, diffuse, and specular components to enhance realism. Textures were carefully defined as materials to interact correctly with light, creating a lifelike scene.

UI/UX Design and Development

Protoytye and Wireframe

Developed two UX/UI design prototypes, applying user-centered design principles, usability testing, and user research methods. The first focused on creating a clear and trustworthy interface for a money-lending company, while the second centered on a food ingredient scanning app that helps users make informed food choices. User research was conducted to gather insights into target user needs and behaviors, and this information was used to guide design decisions. Industry-standard tools were utilized to create wireframes, build interactive prototypes, and refine the overall user experience based on feedback and testing.

Applied Statistics

Data Analyst

In my applied statistics project, I conducted a detailed analysis and developed predictions on a sports team’s likelihood to win using performance-based metrics. I implemented scatterplots, boxplots, OLS multiple regression models, and F-tests to present a supported and data-driven analysis. Through this work, I established a correlation between the total number of wins, average relative skill, and average points scored. Additionally, I highlighted areas for improvement by demonstrating, through statistical evidence, that teams face a measurable disadvantage during away games.

Structured Database Environment

Computer Graphics Developer

I created and imported databases that incorporated processing functionality to support data management and manipulation. Using DDL, DML, and DQL commands, I was able to create, modify, and extract data from various sources. I executed queries to structure raw data effectively and highlight specific insights that could be used to guide business strategy. Through this process, I discovered that the company’s most sold product was also the most frequently returned, leading me to recommend investigating a potential manufacturing error.
