About

Hi, I'm Leonard Gofman

I am a Computer Science student at the University of Central Florida, focusing on general software development. I started programming in my sophomore year of high school by practicing programming problems using Java. The advancements I made along the way have been immense, completing a multitude of projects, participating in hackathons, and competing in programming competitions. I'm always looking to learn more and expand my knowledge.

My Interests

I take enjoyment in programming, reading books, composing music, creating content, and playing games. Always looking to create new neat experiences with code.

Projects

VisuWorld

A speech recognition and graphics project that turns your voice into 2D/3D envrionments.

Won Best Use of Gemini and Prettiest Hack at Bitcamp 2025! VisuWorld will let you create and render 2D/3D enviornments live in your browser, being able to generate them with just your voice. My main task on this project was setting up the rendering pipeline along with working on the base design. Amazing project and I love that my team and I were able to turn this idea into reality and win!

CodeJoust

1v1 solving Leetcode problems with a twist.

This was a project that was made for a software development class at UCF. This was the largest team I've ever had to work with, totaling 7 people. My main part of the project was handling WebSockets and multiplayer routes. Overall I learned a good bit on WebSockets and came out of it with an awesome project.

Airjam

A computer vision project that lets you make music using the motion of your hands.

This is a project that I made with a team for HackUSF 2025. My main focus on this project was on creating the camera connection to the server with WebSockets, along with tuning our CV models on our server. My teammates took up the mantle of detecting collision checks between preset areas on the backend and a persons wrist, and being able to correlate those collisions to actions like playing instruments. Overall I had a fun time working on this project, and even though we didn't win, I enjoyed making it.

Voiceboard AI

A speech recognition project that turns your voice into diagrams

Won 1st place for Google's social good hack at Shell Hacks 2024! Voiceboard AI makes whiteboarding accessible to all by using speech-to-diagram technology. I had a blast working on this project during the hackathon, my main task was working on the backend of the site!

Lootcode

A fantasy-themed coding game to learn Data Structures and Algorithms

This was the first truly collaborative project I've worked on. Myself and 2 other developers took up the mantle for this project and built it from the ground up with tools such as React, Tailwind, tRPC, and Docker. Most of my work was put into building our code-grade pipeline and writing out our problems, but I also got to do some frontend by creating our leaderboard. I got to use my previous skills to setup our server for deployment and create a CI/CD pipeline. This has been one of the most enjoyable projects I've worked on and I hope everyone who tries it out enjoys it.

Space Mergers

A game made with C++/Raylib on Steam

Built using C++ and Raylib. After I found the library raylib I was very impressed by how simple it was to use and was deadset on creating something with it. I started by making some simple animations in raylib before deciding on a game. After I chose what I'd make, I started working on it. I got someone to create the music for me, but other than that I did everything else on my own, definitly have to say getting the animations working without bugs was difficult.

GPNC

A custom made image editor in C

Built using the C programming language and GTK+. It took a lot of effort but I got a fully functional image editor working on windows/mac/linux in C. It was fun to mess around with pixels some more, but this project still leaves plenty to be desired. I plan to come back to add more features later.

Video to Ascii Converter

A video to ascii tool that uses java.

Built using the java programming language, also contains a bash script which simplifies usability. The tool lets a user input a video along with some other parameters to turn that video into ascii and play it back to the user. This project was a fun one, through it I got some experience in bash scripting which is definitely useful.

Minesweeper Remake

Minesweeper as software remade.

Built using C programming language and GTK+, was overall a very fun expierence to make it and work on creating the GUI and algorithms. A friend and I cooperated on making this project, this project helped me better my skills in the C language.

College Opinions Website

A website where you can vote to rank colleges.

Built using html, css, js, and nodejs. Quite a clean design compared to usual stuff I make. The site is hosted from a VPS so I had to set most of it up myself. Helped me better understand http, ssl certificates, hosting, APIs, and the web in general.

Tic-Tac-Toe

A simple tic-tac-toe mobile game.

Built using xml and kotlin in android studio. Just your average tic-tac-toe game for android. The project enabled me to learn the basics of android development. As you can see in the picture at your left, I'm an incredible designer lol.

Mr.Grant bot

A discord bot with plenty of games, mainly battleship. Used by over 150+ Discord Servers.

Built using discordjs and MySql. Includes a plentiful amount of games, mainly roulette, battleship, and blackjack. Gave me a better foundation with back end development and some expierence using mysql.

Paint73

A unique paint application with cool animations.

Built using JavaFX and packaged using maven. Includes the abilty to draw with arrow keys, flood with animations, load images with animations, undo, and of course draw. Helped me better understand how colors and pixels work in software and gave a good expierence with software development.
