Welcome to my portfolio! I’m Nathanael Moody – a passionate designer, developer, programmer and creative problem-solver with a foundation in art and visual design. I thrive on developing innovative solutions that blend technology with creativity. My work spans from designing, developing, and teaching complex technical concepts at California State University, Fullerton to contributing hands-on technical support and optimization for game modifications in the Cyberpunk 2077 modding community. Please enjoy my showcase of projects that exemplify my technical and creative journey.
As an avid Cyberpunk 2077, I took it upon myself to improve one of my favorite mods called 'Inside Station' by tidusMD.
Inside Station is a powerful and versatile mod for Cyberpunk 2077 that enhances in-game station interactions, teleportation mechanics, and overall user experience. Built with modularity and robustness in mind, this mod ensures seamless integration and provides developers with a solid foundation for future enhancements.
The features I've added in this update include:
Modular Architecture: Organized into distinct modules for easy maintenance and scalability.
Robust Error Handling: Utilizes pcall() for safe module loading, preventing runtime crashes.
Enhanced Logging System: Comprehensive logging with multiple severity levels (Info, Debug, Error, Critical) to facilitate debugging and monitoring.
Proximity Detection: Detects player proximity to train stations, enabling context-sensitive features like teleportation and UI updates.
Teleportation Mechanics: Seamless teleportation functionality within stations, reducing load times and enhancing immersion.
Visual Effects: Optional glitch effects during fast travel to enrich visual feedback.
Configurable Activation Radius: Easily adjustable radius for proximity-based features to suit player preferences.
Debugging Tools: Integrated ImGui interface for real-time debugging and visualization of in-game elements.
Performance Optimization: Throttled Cron tasks to ensure minimal performance impact when inactive.
This project involved creating a program that efficiently processes an 'inventory.txt' file, allowing users to select desired items and quantities from the inventory. The program generates a receipt (named 'receipt.txt') with the total cost, and automatically creates additional receipt files (like 'receipt1.txt', 'receipt2.txt', etc.) for each transaction. I completed this project within just one week, and it led to an opportunity to deliver a lecture where I shared the innovative techniques I developed. You can view the code snippet below and watch a video clip of my lecture.
I successfully completed the development of this shopping cart program, including the advanced functionality, within an impressively short timeframe of just one week. This achievement led to an opportunity where I had the privilege of delivering a lecture to the class, sharing the innovative method I had developed. You can watch a video clip of my lecture below.
