2023 24-Hour RGU Hackathon winner

For the 24-hour 2023 hackathon, we were tasked to develop a project with the theme "Tetris". My team and I developed a 2D platformer using the Godot engine. The game developed is a twist on the classic Super Mario, where the player enters a game with incomplete levels and missing blocks. Therefore, a Tetris virus is introduced, that allows the player to place Tetris blocks to get over obstacles. However, as the game progresses, the world becomes increasingly infected, leading to the spontaneous spawning of Tetris elements. Excited by the hackathon's positive response, we're now working on turning the demo into a full-fledged mobile game. See video demo on my Projects Page.

2022 24-Hour RGU Hackathon environmental category winner and overall second place winner

During the 2022 annual hackathon, we were presented with four themes to choose from. My team decided to work in the "Explore avenues for promoting environmental sustainability" category. Therefore, we developed an educational mobile game that would progressively teach how to recycle different materials. Players were tasked with choosing the correct recycling bin to capture different types of falling trash. We won the first prize in our category and second prize in the overall hackathon. Play the game on my Projects Page.

2019 RGU Autumn Hackathon winner

Joined the annual RGU 10 hour Hackathon in the first semester of my first year. The theme of the competition was "Help to improve Aberdeen", therefore, my group designed a bus monitoring system that would keep track of the vehicle's speed and temperature. This prototype would give the passengers the ability to request a temperature or speed change. If the request was made by enough clients, the driver would be notified.
