ETHGlobal Hackathon - NFT Auth
Worked in a team of 5 to develop an application which allows educators to issue an NFT based token to students proving the completion of a course. An AES encrypted string was stored within the token acting as the educator’s signature. This signature could only be decrypted using the educator’s key.

Arweave Open Web Foundry - 3D NFT Greeting Cards
Through the foundry I developed an application and smart contract solution allowing users to create, share and trade NFT greeting cards. Along with the NFTs I built a platform which displayed the NFTs in a 3D space, enabling the user to interact with the NFTs. The platform was built using React, ThreeJS, Webpack 5 and Express.

Reach.sh - Reach Battleship
Won second place in Reach’s Universities Unchained Hackathon event, funded by the Algorand Foundation. Used Reach.sh and React to create a smart contract that allowed two players to compete with each other in a grid based guessing game. Each player would first select where they’d like to place 3 pieces on a 3x3 grid. Players would then take turns guessing where the other player placed their pieces. The player who lost would have to pay the winner the agreed upon wager amount.
