Inkblocks was a recreation of Splatoon in Minecraft: Java Edition, using the Paper API. This project taught me how to use new software in relation to Java development, such as the Gradle build tool, one of its most popular plugins called ShadowJar, database connectivity using MariaDB and connection pooling using HikariCP.  Additionally, it taught me important programming principles, such as Inheritance and a basic understanding of Asynchronous threading.

Inkblocks was eventually shutdown due to a poor quality codebase, a natural outcome due to this being the first project I had taken of this scale.

MushBot was a Discord bot written in Python.  It performed various features, such as streaming audio, voice notes, automated moderation and provided text-based games, including virtual, free-to-play scratch cards and a simplified battle game.

The bot was ultimately shut down when the discord.py library, that the bot depended on, ceased to update due to complexity with regard to the Discord API. It has since revived itself.

I have also helped set up, configure and operate Minecraft: Java Edition servers for a long while. These include both managing server configuration and permissions, to creating custom content using command blocks.

From Inkblocks onwards, this changed to a full stack management, as I opt to deploy servers on IaaS-based solutions rather than SaaS-based solutions that Minecraft server hosts often supply.
