Hello there! 👋

Composite

Welcome to my home page


I am Nicola Marino also known as Cole, a dedicated third-year undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science. My unyielding commitment to the rapidly evolving world of modern technology drives me to continuously advance and excel. Since an early juncture of my life, I've been captivated by programming, critical thinking, and problem-solving. This website showcases all my professional projects, credentials, and services.

Interests

Computer Science

As a lover of everything involving computers, I am actively expanding my knowledge of this vast field both inside and out of college courses. Below are a few of my favorite computing languages, technologies, and frameworks!

Featured Work

Take a look at some of my most recent and favorite Computer Science related projects:

CS Learning Academic Project Teamwork Database

Book Database

This is a group project for my Principles of Data Management course at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The aim of this project was to provide us with practical experience with making a database and implementing a command-line user interface to get, insert, update, and delete data from the database. My group was assigned creating a database of books, which also contains user, author, publisher, editor, followings, and book list data.

CS Academic

Encoder and Decoder

This project was part of my Mechanics of Programming course (CS243) while studying at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The goal of this project was to employ bitwise operators in the programming language C in order to encode and decode text perfectly. Overall, I did great on this project, with a grade which proves it. To this day, the language of C is still one of my top three favorite languages - especially the aspects of memory management and optimization.

CS Learning Academic Project High School

2048 Game

This was a final project for my AP Computer Science A course which I took in 10th grade during my time at Berlin High School. I went above and beyond the expectations of this course by implementing a fully functional GUI employing Java Applets and keyboard inputs. This project was truly the catalyst for my interest in the field of Computer Science and everything about it - especially the aspects of going out on my own to learn something new not because I had to, but because I wanted to. Although this project is extremely simple, it is a testament to what I have developed into a profession.
