* MY PORTFOLIO:
MINECRAFT SERVERS/REALMS
By far, my history with Minecraft servers has had an enormous impact on where
I am today. Over the course of many years, I created many servers/realms (too
many to count) which have seen tens of thousands of players connect and play
on them. From using simple Minecraft commands, to using thirty thousand lines
of Java code, each one of these servers was better than the last.

YOUTUBE VIDEOS
Over the years, I've created a catalog of tutorial-style YouTube videos in
which I would teach people a programming concept, or simply show them how to
complete a task. As I continued learning and my skill set evolved, I tried to
reflect that in my YouTube videos and teach my audience more complex topics.
While I don't make as many YouTube videos anymore, all of my videos are still
publicly viewable and act as a great resource to view my progress over time.

WEB-DEVELOPMENT
Web-development always seemed impossible to me - I suck at graphic design,
but I loved the idea of creating interactive websites that thousands of
people could use. I understood the potential that web-development had to
offer, so I pushed myself to learn HTML & CSS as well as web-frameworks such
as ReactJS and NuxtJS. As I mentioned earlier, graphic design is not my area
of experience. This isn't necessarily a bad thing however, it forces me to
work super closely with my clients so that I can properly capture their
vision rather than creating my own.

MINECRAFT MARKETPLACE CONTENT
The Minecraft Marketplace is a service that both individuals and large
organizations can apply for in order to sell Minecraft content (skins,
worlds, textures, etc...) directly to customers via Minecraft's built in
store. I've been part of a few small teams where I have collaborated with
others to create fully interactive game-modes that were later published on
the Minecraft Marketplace. For about half of these projects, I was the
project lead; I came up with the various feature sets that would be
implemented into the game as well as deciding what assets the project would
need. Generally I worked on the more technical side of things - I'm a
software developer after all so it only makes sense that I programmed these
game-modes rather than drawing sprites for them.

MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS
As a developer, I have lots of side projects. Most of which aren't worth
mentioning, but rather than creating a bunch of extra categories and making
this page any longer than it needs to be, I've put together this collection

* HOW I GOT HERE (ROADMAP)
2018
Minecraft Commands
Jump starting my interest in Software Development, Minecraft gave me my first
introduction to programming. Comparable to block programming, I started out
by learning Minecraft commands. This was enough for 13 year old me, but as I
grew older, I began to realize that there were limitations to this. Soon
after, I followed the popular path and tried to learn Python and JavaScript.
2020
Minecraft Plugins
Furthering my learning, I made the jump from Minecraft Bedrock Edition to
Minecraft Java Edition. While it sounds like a small change, it was critical
one. It provided me with a platform to learn Java, so quickly I began
developing Minecraft plugins. I easily fell in love with Java and
object-oriented programming. It allowed me to begin working on my first
large-scale project without losing my mind: A Minecraft Prison Server.
2022
Web Development
Initially, I started using raw HTML & CSS to create websites, however there
are inherent limitations to this. I then moved to using frameworks, such as
ReactJS or VueJS to create websites. This was much better and I was able to
create more complex sites without getting lost in the code. Additionally, I
started using Spring Boot to manage my backend and create RESTful APIs.
2019
Minecraft Realms
I am a strong believer that learning to code is easy, the hard part is
finding a project to work on. Luckily for me, I had already found my project:
Minecraft Realms. I started out exclusively using commands, but that quickly
changed and I was integrating JavaScript into my projects. Alongside my
learning, my Realms had 40 concurrent players online almost constantly. I
offered a variety of game-modes for my player-base. Furthermore, these
game-modes generated a profit.
2021
Minecraft Servers
The next step in my journey was to put all the pieces together and create a
preformat game server. There were multiple aspects to manage, including: a
server plugin optimized for high-frequency, a website users could interact
with, a webs tore for players to make purchases, a central SQL database for
all the applications to share, a Discord bot for users to cross-link their
accounts from Discord to Minecraft making use of the aforementioned database,
and finally a staff team to oversee players.
2023
College: Virgina Tech
Continuing my passion Computer Science, I am attending college at Virginia
Tech. Up until this point, I have had no formal eduction within this field. I
have been primarily working on projects and learning from my mistakes all on
my own. I intend to change this however, and work with my peers and
professors to push the boundaries of my knowledge.
* ABOUT ME:
HEY, I'M SAM!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I'm a Software Developer. I have experience with many different languages
and concepts. In my past, I've done game development, backend development,
frontend development, and full-stack development. Additionally, I have
experience using relational databases and I can comfortably navigate around
the Linux OS using BASH.
I am currently a first-year student (Class of 27') at Virginia Tech, pursuing
a degree in Computer Science. In high school, I studied cyberscurity. While
it's still within the realm of technology, I love the freedom that software
development offers me; having knowledge of both fields has allowed me to
create secure software applications.
MY HISTORY WITH MINECRAFT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you've taken a brief moment to take a look at my portfolio, you'll notice
that a lot of my experience comes from the video game Minecraft. From the
moment that I first learned about Minecraft command blocks I was hooked.
Using command blocks offered me my first experience with software development
- command blocks are comparable to block programming, involving conditional
statements, loops, and more. Later, I learned about .mcfunction files. These
are equivalent to batch files (.bat) and/or bash scripts (.sh).
I switched from using Minecraft commands entirely to using actual programming
languages. It started off with JavaScript, however, this quickly changed to
Java once I switched from Minecraft Bedrock Edition (MCBE) to Minecraft Java
Edition (MCJE). I learned to create Minecraft Server plugins - which, later
on, allowed me to create my own Minecraft server.
I created my own Minecraft server, which was a prison server. I coded the
server's main plugin from scratch - it consisted of over 30,000 lines of
code. Along with the server plugin, there were other aspects of the server
that had to be considered. I had to create a Discord bot for the server which
allowed users to verify and link their accounts. This was done using Python.
Additionally, I had to work with relational databases such as MySQL in order
to store data in a central location so that multiple applications (such as
Discord, the server, and the server's website) could access the same data in
real-time. As mentioned earlier, I also created a website for the Server
using ReactJS.
MY SKILL SET
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have experience with multiple: programming languages, operating systems and
command line interfaces, programming frameworks, developer tools, and more.
You can find a list which details my skill set below.
LIST OF SKILLS:
* Java
* Python
* JavaScript
* TypeScript
