Hello! My name is Vardges Gharibyan. I'm a software engineer with a Bachelor's Degree in "Game & Simulation Programming" from DeVry University. I also have a Certificate of Achievement in "Full Stack Web Development" (MERN, Spring Boot, Django) from a coding bootcamp named Coding Dojo. I'm proficient in modern C++ (C++11/C++14/C++17), Java 8, Python 3, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6) and have completed personal projects in all those programming languages, which are all hosted on my "GitHub" and on this "Portfolio Website". I'm also skilled in data structures and algorithms, complexity analysis (Big O Notation), "SOLID" software design principles (single responsibility principle, open-closed principle, Liskov substitution principle, interface segregation principle, dependency inversion principle), "GoF" software design patterns (creational patterns, structural patterns, behavioral patterns), and 3D math (vector math/linear algebra).
Programming Languages: C++, Java, JavaScript, Python
Frameworks & Libraries: Spring Boot, Hibernate, React, Express, Node, Mongoose, Django
Databases: MySQL, MongoDB, SQLite
Game Engines: Unreal Engine 4 (UE4), Unreal Development Kit (UDK), Game Maker 8.0
GameStore is a GameStop clone built using React, Express, Node, and MongoDB. The web app alows users to view games by genre and each game has its own page. Users can search for a specific game through the search bar with dynamic search suggestions and see recommended games based on the game that they are currently viewing. They can also write reviews for each game.

Ninja Gold is a web game app built using Java and the web-framework Spring Boot. Players can visit one of four places (farm, cave, house, and casino) to earn gold. Each place uses a different range for randomly generating different amounts of gold. The player only gets three attempts at visiting each place and has to earn at least 100 gold to win. The casino generates the greatest amount of gold, but it can also generate a negative amount, which would result in the player losing gold.

Queuing System is a general-purpose single/multi server simulation program built in C++ that determines how long items, such as people or cars, must wait in line before being served. It takes four values as input, which are simulation length, number of servers, transaction time, and time between arrivals, and then calculates the average time for waiting. Time is represented in minutes.
