Here I outline some of the projects that I worked on during my so far short computer science career.

Litchfield Study Buddies
- A web-site that allows college residents to fill out what classes they are taking and then be able to find buddies to study together. It's written in PHP with a MySQL database. Screenshots will be available soon here and the actual site is here, but you have to login.

MySQL
- A few tiny tutorials on MySQL. I wrote these up when I had to learn this myself.
Stored procedures and functions.

Electicity Market Game
- This is a Java Applet that simulates a simple electricity market. I did this for a friend, who is doing a Ph.D. in economics. The algorithm is his, I just implemented it in an applet with a convenient GUI. Later I wrote a second version of the game in PHP. Both of these versions communicate back to the server to save certain statistics using a perl script.
The game is temporarily here.
It used to be here (old version).

Cisco Threaded Case Study (TCS)
- I worked on this while in the Cisco Networking Academy class in high school. The purpose of the TCS is to design a complete local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) for a school district. This includes everything from where the cables would be run to what equipment is needed to what access lists will be implemented on the main router. It turned out to be quite a nice project
It is available here.

Tetris
- I wrote it for CSE124 class in Java. What this class required was much less than what I've done later. The program still has some bugs and is a terrible example of programming design, but it works and shows what Java is capable of pretty well.
It's available here.
