(Projects available on GitHub at github.com/zlo120)


  • HangOut99. Wrote a web based application in Flask, on the same premise as one of my assignment projects where event management was the key focus. This project taught me a big lesson in designing and implementing a user interface and user experience. Extended my learning by delving into using sockets for dynamic web page experience.


  • Minecraft Patcher. Created a Minecraft mod managing system where at a push of a button a certain number of mods would be installed in the user's Minecraft directory, and any existing mods would be moved where the game wouldn't register them. Convenient for friends who weren't familiar with installing mods.


  • Shelf. My first ever attempt at making a GUI application in the .NET framework using C#. This application provided a GUI for selecting games in a library and was controlled by a PS4 controller.
