Hi, I'm Bradley Spiclin. I love technology.

Live Demo

I set out to create a platform where software developers could showcase their talents while actively seeking employment opportunities.

For this exciting project, I chose to work with Next.js and Firebase, combining their strengths in database management and user authentication. This allowed me to create a highly customizable solution. The end result? A fully functional web application that offers users the ability to create, edit, and manage their profiles. These profiles serve as a window into their skills and experiences, ready for potential employers to explore.

Of course, there were challenges along the way, but with a deep dive into Firebase's documentation, I overcame these hurdles and successfully implemented the features I had envisioned.

Source & Live Demo

This web application is designed to function as a personal library storage for users, enabling them to easily store and retrieve book titles and authors, as well as track reading progress. As an avid reader myself, I recognized the need for such an app, as I often struggled to recall recommended titles and authors.

The development of this application was not without its challenges, including the need to familiarize myself with Vue3, implementing Vue router functionality, and successfully managing API calls and data storage within a JavaScript object.

To build this project, I leveraged a combination of HTML, CSS, and the Vue.js framework, which enabled me to create an intuitive and user-friendly web application that addresses the common problem of book organization and tracking.

Video Demo

My first major game development project was an action-packed RPG, which required over 100 hours of dedicated design, development, and testing to produce a fully functional main character, along with enemy AI, pickups, collectibles, and interactive components.

While the project was undoubtedly challenging, it proved to be an invaluable opportunity for me to hone my programming skills. In particular, I developed my ability to identify and debug complex code that was prone to logical errors. To address these challenges, I applied my expertise in utilizing breakpoints within Visual Studio to isolate and correct these errors.

In terms of technology, I utilized C++ and Unreal Engine 4 to bring my vision to life, ultimately delivering an immersive gaming experience that I remain proud of to this day.

Video Demo

I've always loved retro 2D sidescroller video games, hence the motivation for this project. I aimed to create a nostalgic experience for the player by designing, building, and testing a platform game with movement capabilities such as jumping and wall sliding.

This project had some difficulties along the way, namely learning to work with sprites to implement character and enemy animation. In the process, I also gained exposure to building tilesets, which I used to create visually appealing backgrounds. My experience developing this project was incredibly rewarding, as I not only succeeded in creating an engaging platform game, but also acquired a plethora of new skills along the way.

The technology I employed for this project was Unreal Engine 5, which proved to be a reliable and powerful platform for my creative vision.
