 In my Multimedia Design class I was tasked with creating a fully rendered Wright Flyer. This render was then used to create a quick clip showcasing how aircraft have evolved over the past 100 years. This model was kept as historically accurate as possible and was designed using the blueprints created by the Wright Brothers. If you would like to see how this project was made you can click below. 

In my Benevolent Computing class we were tasked with designing a program to be used for a non-profit organization. My group was tasked with creating a way for the elderly who are living in assistive care facilities with cognitive disabilities to "exercise their minds". Through research, we discovered that those suffering from cognitive disabilities show positive response from combining music along with photos of loved ones. This research caused us to create Music For The Mind. Accessible via a tablet for better portability, it was designed with simplicity in mind. Click below to see our software documentation.

In my Database Design course, we were tasked with creating a functional database around a topic we enjoy. In my group, we all happened to play the same video game, called Counter Strike Global Offensive. We decided our database would store all values used in the game, such as weapon damage, armor values, health values, etc. and formulate the best possible strategy to win. We did this by analyzing all values in the database with a query which would then tell the user what to use in the game for that round of play.

 In my Computer Security class, my group was tasked with analyzing what went wrong with Yahoo in their massive data leak that occurred in 2013-2014. In our presentation, we describe the types of attacks used in the data breach, how the attack was executed, how the attack could have been prevented, and the lasting effects on Yahoo.
