'Counting Cards' - A Blackjack Game
Originally written in C++, then re-written in JavaScript for the web, CountingCards is a super fun game that aims to help the player learn blackjack gameplay, basic strategy, betting strategies, and how to keep the count of a deck of cards. With multiple game modes and lots of animations, it offers multiple ways for a player to practice, improve their play, and watch their results improve - all without risking any money.

Database Web Aplication for Supreme Systems Inc.
I was hired by a "last mile" logistics company headquartered in NYC to design and build a database system and web application for accessing and managing employee records. The app lets the user update the database by uploading an excel document whenever necessary.
The app makes use of MySQL, PHP, Apache2 web server, Composer, JavaScript, JQuery, Google Cloud APIs, html, CSS, and other technologies
The app parses the user uploaded excel file, displays it in the browser, dates it and uploads it to a Google Cloud Storage Bucket, converts it to CSV (with download option), and builds and executes queries to update the database. The user then has various options for querying the database. The app has custom-made user authentication, and a "Demo Mode" that displays dummy employee records. The README.md file in the GitHub repository has far more detailed info. Please take a look!

PHP Email Notification Script for Supreme Systems Inc.
This script uses the database system I built for the web app (listed above). It builds and runs queries on the MySQL database of employee records and checks for upcoming birthdays within the next X days (adjustable) - excluding employees hired in the 6 months prior. If there is one or more birthdays in that time period, the script makes a call to MailJet's API to send an email to the boss notifying him of the upcoming bday. The email conveniently contains the employee's info so the boss can easily send a birthday gift or personalized card, with plenty of time for the gift to get there before the big day! The script runs each day via Linux crontab on a GCP Compute Engine VM Instance running Ubuntu

Ethereum Powered Online Poker Platform
This project will harness the power of Ethereum smart contracts to enforce payouts from games via stablecoins. This will greatly improve transparency and trust in the platform as a result. I am currently working on the back-end poker engine. This project is still in the early stages of its development.
Discourse Forum Migration
Hired for migration of web forum from bbPress Wordpress plugin software to Discourse open-source software for a Las Vegas company. The new software runs in a Docker container on a Google Cloud Platform Compute Engine virtual machine that I configured and deployed. This project required familiarizing myself with Ruby on Rails.
