Capstone_OpenGL_Knife
This is a final project for my Computer Science course, Computational Graphics and Visualization. It is an enhancement of a project I originally created in August 2020. It is written in C++ with OpenGL to create a 3D model of an object I selected, a knife. I identified areas for improvement in how the code was organized, comments, and improvements with the naming convention of variables. I increased the number of polygons by nearly four times the original count which greatly enhanced the visual detail on the knife model.
Capstone_SQL_GameDatabase
This project is a SQL database project I submitted for DAD 220: Introduction to SQL in April 2019. This script builds a database for a game collection.
Capstone_Zoo_Authentication
My chosen artifact for Algorithms and Data Structure is the final project I worked on for IT-145 Foundation in Application Development in December 2018. This is a Java application to create a Login Authentication System for a Zoo. The original project used an MD5 Hash encryption to secure passwords for each of the user roles. I felt that this hash encryption could be improved from the MD5 128 bit encryption to a more secure, SHA-512 bit hashing algorithms. I also reviewed the original code and saw opportunities to improve the functionality and security of the code. The code uses a Scanner and originally never closed the scanner which left the code vulnerable to resource leaks. I closed the scanner after each instance that it is used. Additionally, I added a maintenance engineer role to the credentials and logins associated with it. This update improved the security and functionality of the application.
