Welcome to My Small Projects
This page is basically my digital scrapbook. It’s where I post some of the coding and tech projects I've worked on over the years, mostly for school but also just to mess around and learn new things. None of these projects are perfect, and honestly thats kind of the point. You can see my progress my mistakes, and how my skills slowly improved over time.
I like experimenting, even if the results look a little rough. Every project here taught me something new whether it was HTML structure CSS styling, or just figuring out how to explain technical information in a way that actually makes sense. Think of this page as a before I got good archive.
My Zoo Animal Project
This project goes all the way back to my freshman year in my I.T. class. We went on a field trip to the zoo, which was honestly one of the more fun school trips I've been on. After the trip my teacher told us to pick an animal we saw and make a website about it kind of like a mini Wikipedia page
I chose the Amur Leopard. At first I was going to pick something more common, but I wanted an animal that actually felt interesting and rare. The goal was to explain the animal's habitat diet and why it's endangered. Looking back I'd probably rate this project around a 7 or 8 out of 10. I did a solid job but I know I could’ve improved the layout writing and visuals if I had the skills I have now.
Still, this project mattered because it was one of the first times I realized that coding isn't just about typing tags—it's about telling a story and presenting information clearly.
Famous Cyber Hack Project
This project focuses on a real-world cybersecurity incident: the Anthem Health Insurance data breach from 2015. That breach exposed millions of peoples personal information, which is kind of terrifying when you think about it. What's even crazier is that this happened when I was really young, so I had no idea stuff like this was even possible back then.
For the assignment, I explained what happened why it happened, and how the attackers were able to pull it off. The goal wasn't just to say a hack happened but to actually break down the causes and consequences in a way regular people could understand.
Looking at this website now, it's definitely plain mostly black and white very basic layout not much design flair. But that actually shows how much I've learned since then. At the time I was more focused on getting the information right than making it look good. If I rebuilt this project today, I'd add better visuals colors and structure while keeping the same core idea.
Fan Page
This project is basically me coding a fan page for my favorite Bleach series. At the time, I was still learning the basics of HTML and CSS, so the site is pretty simple compared to what I can do now. Looking back, I definitely could've added more content, better layout, and cleaner styling, but for my skill level back then, it wasn't bad at all. The main goal was just to show my love for the series while practicing what I had learned in class. Even though it's not perfect, it was still a fun project to work on and helped me gain more confidence in my coding skills.
My Blog
This project was a small personal blog where I shared my likes dislikes and random thoughts. It wasn't meant to be super serious it was more of an experiment to practice CSS and layout design. The main thing I focused on was the background image and how it blended into the border, creating one large container that held all the text.
I'm especially proud of the smaller content boxes inside the page. They use an orange to yellow gradient with a dashed border, and honestly, that part still looks really good to me. It was one of the first times I felt confident experimenting with color spacing, and visual hierarchy.
That said there are things I don't like about it now. The background image looks too blurry the bright yellow header feels out of place and the spotlight effect is kind of ugly in hindsight. I know I could do way better now with cleaner design choices and better balance.
Even with those flaws I'd still rate this project about an 8 out of 10 for its time.
