Developed a full-stack web application using Flask and Django with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Integrated a web server to store and search messages for a Discord bot, utilizing SQLAlchemy and discordpy for efficient data handling. Added features like a user friend system, blogs, and profiles. Implemented website-specific login and OAuth2 support through Discord to enhance user authentication and accessibility.

Built a direct chat service and a server based chat system in Python using sockets with full RSA encryption to ensure secure communication. Designed a graphical user interface (GUI) with Tkinter to provide an intuitive user experience. You can try it out by downloading the RSA_Server_Client.exe down below and connecting to samfrostman.com as the ip and 5000 as the ip! Find it on my github!

Developed a discord bot to replace a longstanding system which was broken due to changes to discord notification system. Includes functionalities to report messages or users through context menus and to provide a reason for the report through modals. Includes persistent states using SQLAlchemy.

A cross-platform desktop app that turns my Goodreads “Currently Reading” shelf into live Discord Rich Presence. The Flask backend gets my 'currently reading' from Goodreads and exposes a small REST API; a React UI lets you pick the active book and tweak settings; and an Electron shell packages it all with a splash screen, single-instance guard, tray minimization, Windows startup shortcut, and a resilient presence thread (locks, status queue, auto-reconnect). This was also the first project I compiled for multiple operating systems including Windows, Mac and Linux with GitHub Actions. In short: a full-stack desktop tool to share something that I am passionate about.

Worked on a team project to build a disaster relief donation platform using Angular for the frontend and Java Spring Boot for the backend. Implemented features for managing disaster packages, recurring donations, donation history, and user-facing donation workflows. Followed Scrum/OpenUP development practices and emphasized code quality through unit testing, controller/service separation, and maintainable REST API design.

Built a custom chess engine in Python using alpha-beta search, transposition tables, quiescence search, move ordering, killer/history heuristics, and Stockfish-supervised training data. Developed a learned evaluation model trained on PGN games, random positions, self-play positions, and Stockfish labels. Added a Tkinter GUI for engine play, Stockfish comparison, evaluation bars, move history, and training controls.

Built a cross-platform desktop app that displays my current Goodreads reading status as Discord Rich Presence. The app uses a Flask backend, React frontend, and Electron shell with tray minimization, startup behavior, splash screen, single-instance protection, and automatic Discord RPC reconnection. Packaged builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux using GitHub Actions.
