Hello! I'm Alik Balika!

I am currently a senior at the University of Washington - Tacoma. I enjoy coding, gaming with my friends, and playing sports.

My Projects

RPG Web Game

This is a group project from my Computational Worlds class. It is modeled after the original Pokemon but with our own style. I implemented different menu systems, the state for Pokemon, transitions, and more!

Made with Javascript, HTML, and CSS.


Gender Predictor

Built a machine learning model in my TCSS-455 class that predicts gender from images. Achieved the highest accuracy based on images in the class with an accuracy of 82%.

Made with Python using Keras and Tensorflow.


Trivia Maze

A group project in my TCSS-360 class. Developed the game using Agile methodology and different design patterns such as MVC and Singleton. I was mainly responsible for the view of the game.

Made with Java using Java Swing for the front end.


Smart Mouse Game

An early project in my first quarter at UWT for TCSS-305. Similar to Pac-Man, the mouse must eat all the cheese before being caught by the cats! Implements a variety of different behavior in the cats including a "smart" cat that follows the mouse.

Made with Java using Java swing for the front end.


CS Student's Handy Calculator

Another early project in my first quarter at UWT for TCSS-305. This project follows the MVC design pattern. The calculator can do binary and hex arithmetic, binary and hex conversions, and can do bandwidth calculations such as conversions from one data unit to another, download/upload time calculator, and a few others. As well as having a GUI, there is also support for a CLI.

Made with Java using Java Swing for the front end.
