Mexican Train Dominoes

In Progress

While playing Mexican Train Dominoes, I realized that the game is a surprisingly good application of graph theory. This project started as just an algorithm problem to find the longest train of dominoes a player can make with their starting tiles. Now I'm working on expanding it into a full multiplayer web game. Stay tuned for the finished project!

3D Conway's Game of Life

2025

A 3D visualization of Conway’s Game of Life, built with Three.js to give the classic algorithm an organic, almost biological feel. I used instanced rendering to animate cell states, with world data processed in a Node.js backend.

Houseplants Of The World

2024

An interactive globe that shows where common houseplants are native. The app uses Mapbox for visualization and a Node.js API with MongoDB to serve plant data. I built this as a MERN stack learning exercise and to satisfy my curiosity about global plant origins.

Lego Mini Game Ad Concept

2024

A playful, interactive ad built with Three.js while I worked in digital advertising at Vox Media.I handled all the code for the 3D game and worked with a designer on visuals. Click to place blocks, refresh to start over. Best viewed on desktop, not a mobile ad.
