My Works

Take a look at a few of the apps that I have worked on for clients, team hackathons, and personal interests.

GoCities Search

Community App

Tired of searching the entire world wide web to find Local Community and Business Info? Find out what's near you by clicking the GoCities Network Facebook App. The GoCities Network gathers local information about business and communities in the Rio Grande Valley and put them all in one easy-to-reach place. With this project I learned just how much programming was involved in creating websites with dynamic content. I also learned how to setup a local development server running a LAMP stack.

Jumpfrog Game

iOS & Android Game

Join Chomper, star of Jumpfrog, on his quest to fill his tummy. Run, jump and catch bugs with your sticky tongue. Compete against your friends high scores as you try to reach higher combos. But be aware of the dangers in the swam! With the support of family and friends, I was chosen to participate in the Make School 2014 Summer Academy, a program established to be a "college replacement for founders and developers". My goal now is to take the tools and confidence Make School gave me to further my career.

Pod Damned

Oculus Rift Simulation

You are prematurely awakened from deep space hyper-sleep. What do you do now? This was our hack attempt at winning the 2015 Global Game Jam hosted by Facebook. The virtual reality experience utilizes the Oculus Rift headset to immerse the user in an awkward situation. Solve puzzles to escape imminent doom. This is just a small example of how virtual reality can put us in places we wouldn't other wise be able to visit, which create endless opportunity to apply the technology in other industries.

First of Them

Pebble & Pebble Time

Our original hack idea was to build a simple Pebble game to press a button and stop an arrow within a certain zone. We knew we had to expand on this idea to make it unique, and we took great influence from The Last of Us in order to do that. We combined a zombie shooting game with a simple timing game. Our team is most proud of the combination of simple mechanics with an action-filled shooting game. I can see this game having an companion app with game mechanics that encourage teamwork.
