ABOUT

I'm Eddy, a high schooler from Massachusetts and the developer of this website! I'm particularly interested in the fields of astronomy and astrophysics, as well as robotics. My hobbies include writing, editing YouTube videos, and Science Olympiad. I am also an avid Dunkin' enjoyer.

Periodic Song Recommendation:

This song's pretty good, I guess. I'll update this when I feel like it.

This site was built using raw HTML/CSS/JS, open-sourced on my GitHub page. The space-themed background was made possible by particles.js. Icons by Font Awesome.

Projects

Here are some of the projects I've done since I started 4 years ago!

Passcode (2024)

DEVELOPMENT: AUGUST 2024

Can you crack today's passcode? This daily game is an inspiration from the popular game Wordle, with a special take. Guess the six-digit passcode in five tries, but you'll need smart calculations to crack it in as few tries as possible! A new puzzle is avaiable every day at 8:00 P.M. local Time.

How Many U.S. States Have You Visited? (2024)

DEVELOPMENT: AUGUST 2024

How many U.S. states have you visited? With this app, you can click on the interactive map to select states, and the app tells you the total area and percentage of the U.S. you've visited. You can also share your result with your friends to see how they stack up. This project introduced me to meta tags and using SVG paths in HTML.

Where's My Commuter Rail Train? (2024)

DEVELOPMENT: JUNE 2024

This project uses your location to determine your closest MBTA Commuter Rail station, then uses the MBTA V3 API to pull train data (location, speed, distance) and shows you which trains are coming your way. It also predicts when your train will arrive!

FTC Robotics Team Website (2023)

DEVELOPMENT: NOVEMBER 2023

As part of the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) team 16021 Techno Maniacs, I was called upon to design a custom website to showcase our awards and send to potential sponsors. I implemented a horizontal scroll-bar page design and used CSS tranitions to make page transitions incredibly smooth.

Champion Blitz (2021)

DEVELOPMENT: MAY 2021

Great in the classroom, this project allows you to teach in a fun way through interactive educational games! In 8th grade, I had my teachers play this with their students in class, and many of my classmates refused to believe that I built a game like this...

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (2021)

DEVELOPMENT: MARCH 2021

Another great quiz game I created! All controls are keyboard only so that the game can be casted with a projector in front of a real audience and controlled by an operator from the side.

Controls: Space to start a new game. Press Z twice to open a question and reveal answer choices. Press A/B/C/D to answer. Press X to reveal the correct answer, and Z twice to advance to the next question. Q/W/E for lifelines (W twice for Ask The Audience), R twice and then L to walk away. Yes, they're complicated.
