William McKenzie - Dartmouth NS

Hey there! Im William, a developer from Canada with a passion for technology. I have always had a drive in me to create, whether it be making slingshots in my backyard or websites in vscode. I follow my nature and do what I am interested in at any given moment, hence the variety of different hobbies on this page. When not working I am usually going to the gym, meditating, or spending time with the boys.

MMO/Video Game

Kingdom Crusher

This project was born from my nostalgia of the game Realm of The Mad God, which me and my friend Max often played as kids. With no gamedev experience we picked up godot and managed to ship a cross platform MMO to the play store in under 6 months, with over 1000 total accounts created.

ML/Evolution

Lagso

In computer science class, I was bored with Java and decided to try something new. I decided to start from the bottom and make an evolution sim from scratch for the kicks. Lagso stands for Learning and Growing Synthetic Organisms, but mostly it was a free 5 letter domain. You can change the food spawn rate, creature spawn rate, and energy costs of moves.

AI/Quiz

Quizgen

This project was inspired by the Duolingo learning approach, in which a subject is broken down into sections which each contain questions. I created this using NextJS and the OpenAPI, with some extra motion and detail with Framer Motion.

AI/Chess

Chess Bot Arena

This project involved hand coding chess AI using the minimax algorithm, as well as the ability for the user to create their own bots, then battle them against eachother via websockets. All move handeling was done through webworkers.

Service/Meal Planner

Bulkinator

Using React with NextJS and Material UI for the frontend, and MongoDB with Prisma for the backend I created a automatic meal planner and searcher using the Edamame API with account creation, the ability to save recipes and meal plans.

ML/Pixel Art

PixelPal

I was inspired to make this as when I practiced pixel art I usually ended up going to other sites to look for inspiration. So I put it all in one place with Pixoforge, including a custom machine learning model made with TensorflowJS and TeachableMachine which rates your art out of 10 using references I uploaded.
