ANDREW TRAN

Computer Science Graduate at UNSW

BACKGROUND

I am a computer science graduate from the University of New South Wales. I am seeking a graduate position, where I can apply and enhance my knowledge and abilities within the tech industry.

I am an avid programmer who enjoys exploring the diverse spaces within modern technology: dabbling in various platforms such as indie game development and recently taking a strong liking to front end development.

Despite investing significant time into my studies and projects, I am a strong advocate for a healthy work-life balance. Which I am passioniate about relaxing hobbies such as fishing, sports and weight training.

Fun fact: my biggest catch was also my first - a dusky flathead

MORE PROJECTS

Heatmap Infographic
  • My next project was a web application tool, where I was given the task of form generation and visualisation of data sourced from a Insurance database.
  • The user is prompted to select a Insurance Heatmap through a form, and then varying form filters taken from the database are generated.
  • Based off the user inputs, details and prices associated with user inputs are displayed through a table or graph
  • HTML, JavaScript and JQuery were used as the front-end language, and PHP + SQL was used as backend.
Mobile Application
  • My first major project was a mobile game called "nart.io" created through Unity, a cross-platform game engine.
  • This was a self initiated project, worked on in conjunction with a team of artists over a month timeframe.
  • The game scripts were coded in C# using Unity's various libraries, applying relevant design strategies and patterns.
  • The app was tested, reviewed and deployed through the Google Play Console.
