The Line Art Program is a Java project I created to generate the illusion of a curve using only straight lines. My biggest challenge was figuring out the underlying pattern of the lines and breaking out of the mindset that they were curved, since the effect is purely an optical illusion. It was also tricky to size the inner box correctly so that the lines didn’t overlap or misalign.

The Stars Program is a Java project I created to display ten stars of random sizes and locations on the screen. I also added random colors for extra effect, though this wasn’t required. The most challenging part for me was figuring out how to use iterations to craft a star that looked symmetrical from all angles.

AdaptEDU is a student-focused productivity and scheduling web app that my teammates Liam, Sam, and I developed to help address student stress, burnout, and poor time management. Many students struggle to balance schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and personal responsibilities while relying on traditional calendar tools that require constant manual planning and offer little intelligent prioritization. Our target audience is primarily high school and college students looking for a healthier and more effective way to manage their schedules. We created an adaptive scheduling platform that automatically prioritizes assignments and events based on deadlines, importance, estimated duration, and workload balance. The MVP includes dynamic task scheduling, automatic prioritization, multiple calendar views, and healthy productivity features such as daily work cutoffs. Using a custom scheduling algorithm, the app breaks assignments into manageable work sessions and adjusts schedules in real time to help students stay organized and reduce academic stress.
