About Me

I have been developing websites and applications since I was 11 years old – about 5 years now. I am currently a junior at Glenbard West High School but I am more than capable of producing quality web and desktop applications.

In my spare time, I enjoy developing random programs – to expand on my programming knowledge; playing videos games – such as Skyrim and Minecraft; and playing the sport of badminton. I have done numerous projects to benefit the educational institutions I have attended; however, only one of them can be easily found: Roots Review.

My Skillset

PHP

PHP was the first language I began to learn. I have been using it since I started programming and am, thus, very comfortable using it. I lean towards object-oriented application development to organize the features.

When developing my web application, Roots Review, I chose to use PHP because of the ease of development and how easily it can be integrated with the site content.
Java

I started working in Java in December, 2011 when I began work on a plugin for the Minecraft server modification, entitled hMod or Hey0's Mod. This plugin took advantage of many features of Java such as serialization and file system access.

Presently, my applications take advantage of features like client/server communication and automatic updating.
Git

All of my projects, past and present, are managed with the Git version control system. I utilize core features such as branches but do not, yet, use the tag feature.

My projects are (mostly) open source and hosted on my GitHub account. Due to the fact that I am a student, I have been granted access to a free Micro plan to store some projects in private repositories, so not all will appear.
Objective-C

I consider Objective-C to be a work-in-progress because I am not very familiar with it yet. I started using it early on in January of 2012 but my knowledge of it can be expanded, as of yet.

I have developed a few, sample applications in it. These applications were mostly utilities related to modifications of Minecraft.

Developer-friendly applications
