Shakeel Farooq
Software Developer
My name is Shakeel Farooq, and I am a recent graduate with a
B.S. in Computer Science from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
I have 2+ years of professional experience with my times at Paychex and Amazon
Over the years, coding has developed into a passion of mine, specifically,
in the fields of AI and cloud computing, and I strive to learn new skills everyday.
Currently my skillset has me focused on Backend Development, but I'm ready to tackle any challenge.
Below are a list of my projects
WebCheckers is a multiplayer checkers app where you can play checkers against other people.
It is implemented using Java and HTTP request Methods, and designed using FreeMarker templates (.ftl files) and CSS.
I worked on this project with an Agile scrum team for all phases of the project's lifecycle. We divided the application
into small, manageable tasks, kept the scope of the project in check, and ensured that we delivered the minimum viable
product in a timely manner. I handled both parts of the HTTP requests (GET and POST) as well as the core logic of the game.
Note: This project was for an academic course. Due to potential copying of code from other students,
the source code has remained private. If you would like to see some snippet of the code, please contact me.
Site is currently under maintenence.
The shooting star is a chime machine that plays twinkle-twinkle little star. Followig the design process,
my team and I brainstormed different ideas on how we want to our chime machine to work and what song to
play.
We decided our machine should play twinkle-twinkle little star as there aren't many notes in the song.
Also, we agreed that our chime machine should look as it does in the image on the left.
I handled programming the motors, solenoids, and switches to make our machine work using the Arduino IDE.
Note:The webpage for this project is still being developed
This project takes data (People's names, friends, closeness) from csv files and puts them all in a network graph
designed using d3.js. The data was taken from people participating in MIST (Muslim InterScholastic Tournament).
The graph has nodes and edges, where the nodes represent people and the edges represent connections to
other people (their friends).
