DEPLOYED PROJECTS. CASE STUDIES IN LOGIC & DESIGN

PROJECT 01: ZAPWONK.ART Role: Full Stack Design & WordPress Development Status: [LIVE]

• The Problem: Most portfolios are boring, white static pages. I needed a site that reflected my engineering background—something that felt like a “System,” not a brochure.
• The ZAP (The Idea): A “Dark Mode” terminal aesthetic. A site that feels alive, using a flickering logo and a mouse trail to create a sense of electric energy.
• The WONK (The Tech): I bypassed the standard WordPress theme limitations by injecting custom PHP snippets to force a global UI override. I utilized CSS z-index layering to create a fixed grid background that sits behind the content but in front of the theme.

PROJECT 02: LUCKY 7 BALL Role: UI Designer & Logic Architect Status: [PROTOTYPE]

• The Problem: Gamblers suffer from “Tilt” (emotional decision-making). They need a way to offload the stress of a binary choice (Bet vs. Fold) in high-pressure environments.
• The ZAP (The Idea): A digital talisman. Unlike a Magic 8 Ball which gives vague advice, the Lucky 7 Ball gives tactical directives based on “Aggression” levels.
• The WONK (The Tech): Designed the user flow to mimic the physical weight of a billiard ball. The logic tree is built on probability variance, offering specific outputs like “Double Down” or “Walk Away” rather than random chance.

PROJECT 03: TECHNICAL MARINE DRAFTING Role: CAD Engineer Status: [ARCHIVE]

• The Problem: A 50-foot yacht had a complete electrical failure with no documentation. The wiring was a “bird’s nest” of unlabelled cables.
• The ZAP (The Idea): Reverse-engineering chaos into order. I physically traced every circuit to create a “Master Map” that any technician could read instantly.
• The WONK (The Tech): Created a multi-layered AutoCAD schematic. I used standard electrical symbology to document the AC/DC distribution, fusing, and load calculations, ensuring the refit met ABYC safety standards.
