Hi, my name is

Tom Cornes

I'm a Software Developer based in Leicestershire, England.

# About Me

I am a 22 year old Computer Science graduate from De Montfort University. For as long as I can remember, I have had a desire to tinker and solve logical problems. As a child, I found myself playing with circuit kits and components all the time. I loved creating a circuit as the instructions told me, and then modifying it to add features or change how it worked. When I got my first laptop I was extatic. I began hosting game servers for my friends, tinkering around in the settings and troubleshooting crashes or installing mods. I wrote my first script in python at the age of 12 and have never looked back since.

## The Button

Apr 2024

The Button is a game created by Elendow on Steam. I have recreated this game in a single day using a basic web development stack. The user is presented with a button which contains a number. When the user clicks the button, the button with either reset back to zero or increase it's counter by one. The counter also represents the percantage chance of the button resetting to zero on the next press.

## Orion

Java

NoSQL

Orion is a discord music bot built using the Java Discord Api. Orion was a project that me and a friend worked on as a way to further develop our programming knowledge during our degree, and to practise the skills we were learning. Orion utilises Maven to manage dependencies and Lavaplayer to play music. Secrets are managed via Dotenv to ensure that no sensitive data is made public.

This website is my final hand-in for my Front End Web Development module at De Montfort University. Most of the features in this website were created to meet hand-in requirements. This website uses no libraries and has been coded from scratch using the standard web languages. This website uses the PokeAPI to pull data for the pokedex.
