Cardboard Addiction screenshot 11 / 7

Overview

A full-stack, peer-to-peer marketplace web application for Bandai’s Digimon TCG. Users can upload their trade binders and wish lists, the system is then able to match users based on their desired cards to help facilitate peer-to-peer trades.

The Problem

Lack of supported peer to peer marketplace for the Digimon TCG. Gate keeping selling, buying and trading cards tedious and hard.

Fearless Nuzlocke TrackerLive

Pokemon Nuzlocke Tool

Solo Full Stack — concept, design, build, and deployment

Fearless Nuzlocke Tracker screenshot 11 / 3

Overview

Fearlesslocke Tracker is a web application designed for players taking on the fearlesslocke challenge. In a fearlesslocke, you play a monotype run of every main-series Pokémon game and must complete a successful run with all 18 types. The catch: once you use a Pokémon species in any run, you can never use it again across the entire challenge.

The Problem

No existing tool tracks multiple Nuzlocke teams while preventing duplicate Pokémon usage across runs
