Smart Pictionary was similar to Pictionary but with a twist: instead of drawing, we used an image generation model. The server created an image from a random prompt, and players had to guess the original prompt. If it was too challenging, they could ask the server for hints. Player performance stats were tracked and could be accessed upon request.

My responsibilities for this project included verifying login credentials and guiding users to the game.

I also deployed the project on Google Firebase and integrated the frontend UI to call endpoints from the server.

![](/images/Screenshot%202025-02-03%20173122.png)

When playing the game, you need to guess the three image generation prompts that our server used. Each prompt will include a noun, an object, and an action. For example, in the scenario below, the correct answers would be Guinea Pig (noun), Canoe (object), and Paddle (action). I was responsible for ensuring that users can win if they correctly guess the prompts.

An example of a winning condition below.

We leveraged Google Firebase and Microsoft Azure to deploy two distinct servers: one handling client-side operations and the other dedicated to administrative functionalities.

Our tech stack included Docker for containerization, Swagger for API documentation, EJS for templating, JavaScript for client-side scripting, and Node.js for server-side execution.

**Technology Framework Monitor (TFM) | WorkSafeBC | Industry Sponsored Student Project | May 2023**

We had a remarkable collaboration with the WorkSafeBC tech team and the BCIT ISSP Program to release their software project as open-source.

I gained invaluable experience working with the WSBC software seniors. I updated TFM and 22 WorkSafeBC projects to the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework, eliminating unused codebase in preparation for open sourcing TFM. I optimized TFM's performance by fine-tuning multi-threading and throttling mechanisms, reducing scanner speed from 1 hour to just 9 minutes. Additionally, I created comprehensive documentation for the TFM codebase, including a step-by-step end-user guide for scanner installation and technical troubleshooting. They mentioned that my contributions closely mirrored their daily tasks.

Due to our team's shared interest in learning game development, we decided that AtlasHack2's 'creative' section was the perfect opportunity. We quickly settled on a unique and humorous concept: obtaining a job through the 'shotgun-method,' but taken quite literally. Thus, we created **Job Hunting Sim**, an unfinished job-hunt simulator where players shoot their resumes at managers with a shotgun in hopes of receiving a job offer.

**Features:**

*   Functional upgrade system

*   Enemy spawner, pathfinding, behavior, and interactions

*   Custom-created player models

*   Basic shooting and gun physics

*   Basic boss battle complete with an amazingly designed boss model

*   Enthralling sound effects that keep players engaged

I was responsible for scene merging and building, implementing UI elements like guns, and creating shooting animations. Additionally, I added players and enemies into the scene and handled gun sounds, ammo mechanics, and gun recoil.
