    paper Notris - https://github.com/isaacjstriker/notris-online

    Multiplayer Tetris-style browser game with a Go backend and real-time WebSocket communication. • Implemented server-side game logic and backend services in Go to keep player state consistent and predictable across connections, handling concurrent users and real-time updates.

    • Built the frontend in TypeScript/JavaScript, handling input, rendering, and WebSocket-based communication with the backend. • Deployed the application on Render, managing build configuration and environment setup, and monitored logs to diagnose and fix bugs and performance issues.
    • Structured the code into small, testable components and added checks to guard against invalid state transitions during gameplay.
    paper Convert Me - https://github.com/isaacjstriker/convapp

    Python web app/script converting Google Sheets .xlsx data into CSVs compatible with proprietary software. • Designed and implemented an automated ETL-style pipeline to ingest, validate, and transform ~25,000 rows of spreadsheet-based territory data into a clean, structured format ready for import.

    • Used pandas to clean and map fields to the target schema, with logging to flag invalid or incomplete records before import, improving reliability and debuggability.
    • Reduced a months-long manual migration process to roughly two days while increasing correctness and traceability, significantly reducing operational toil for non-technical staff.
