Portfolio
Over the years, I have been completing numerous fun and rewarding side projects in my free time to further my knowledge and skills
Software Engineering
Mobile Application Development
During my Junior Year, I was able to take the Mobile Development course at Wheaton. In this class, I learned how to create a mobile app using Android Studio. For the final project, I created a budgeting app called Wingz, and included the repo below.
Feel free to check out the current alpha version at:
Machine Learning
In my Senior Year, I was fortunate to be able to conduct an Independent Study researching Machine Learning. I have compiled a few sample codes that I created during this course as Jupyter Notebooks on my GitHub and linked the repo below. The repo shows how to create a working model for _____

Cybersecurity
In my Senior Year, I was fortunate to be able to conduct an Independent Study researching Cybersecurity and Computer Networking. I have compiled a few sample codes that I created during this course as (______) on my GitHub and linked the repo below. The repo ____
The repo is currently under construction and will be published and polished shortly
Chrome Extension
What is a common problem we all face? STRESS :D One avenue of relieving some stress for me is to take a mental reset so I am more ready and focused to approach obstacles with a clear mind. Introducing: the CatJam Extension. I decided to create a Chrome extension that when clicked opens a popup with the relaxing gif of :catjam: that will bop to any beat and soothe most, if not all, emotional turmoil.

C++
I have completed numerous projects in C++ in my undergrad, and have gained a ton of valuable experience tutoring and working as a teaching assistant within Wheaton's Computer Science department. Much of my C++ experience surrounds data structures, algorithms, and Object-Oriented Programming.
I have linked below a couple of C++ projects below, so chances are there is something that you are looking for.

Binary Search Tree, Object-Oriented Programming: https://github.com/JacobLibby/BinarySearchTree_CPP
Python
I have completed numerous projects in Python in my undergrad, and have gained a ton of valuable experience tutoring within Wheaton's Computer Science department. Much of my Python experience surrounds data structures, algorithms, string manipulation, file I/O, and Object-Oriented Programming.
I have started to link below a couple of Python projects below, so chances are there is something that you are looking for, and chances are more will show up in the near future.

Other Fun Hobbies
Game Development
I have had some fun in the past few years partaking in some game development side projects to learn Unity and Unreal Engine. I currently have no showcase projects, but keep checking in and see if I end up making anything worth sharing :)
Recently, I have been playing around with Godot, completing this course and working further to expand on that design and create a more full project.
Fabrication
Working for 3 years in Wheaton's FabLab was an incredible experience. I created so many projects from 3D printing, to CAD, to digital embroidering, to Laser Cutting. I am trying to combine all of my files and media from these projects to include here or on a separate page in the future :)
I was also able to take part in the 2021 offering of FabAcademy and learned numerous technologies and fabrication methods. It was an incredibly challenging experience, but I was able to learn and grow immensely through the productive struggle.
