Welcome to my portfolio website! I’m Brian Larosiliere, a recent Computer Science graduate from the University of Rhode Island. Here, you’ll find a showcase of my projects and the latest things I’ve learned. This site, crafted with HTML and CSS, serves as a platform to present my work, share updates about my professional journey, and demonstrate my skills. I created this site to organize my projects, showcase my expertise, and advance my career in the tech industry.
During my time at the University of Rhode Island, I gained valuable experience in two critical IT roles. As an IT Technician, I provided prompt and effective support for computing and networking issues, addressing user needs via phone, walk-in, and email. Transitioning to the Endpoint Support Member role, I focused on managing and maintaining computers through Azure and Active Directory, ensuring compliance with the university’s security policies and keeping all devices updated with the latest software. This experience honed my skills in both user support and IT infrastructure management.
As a Software Developer Intern at Liberty Mutual, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and implement software solutions according to project requirements. I also debug and resolve software defects to ensure high-quality deliverables for clients. This role has enabled me to further develop my technical skills and gain practical experience in a professional setting.
My experience with Hack Diversity has been incredibly enriching and transformative. Through the program, I’ve had the opportunity to develop a range of technical skills and gain invaluable industry insights. The resources and mentorship provided have been instrumental in my growth, enabling me to work on real-world projects and connect with professionals in the tech community. This support has not only enhanced my technical abilities but also broadened my perspective, equipping me with the tools and confidence needed to excel in my career.
For the Duck Tower Defense project, I designed the duck mechanics. I created a class diagram detailing duck spawning, destruction, and interactions with the player, towers, and tilemap. I also integrated how ducks impact the game's currency and health systems, ensuring their actions are well-integrated into gameplay.

This indie RPG project marks a milestone in my development journey. Using "GameCreator 2" for visual scripting, I enhanced my skills in game design, UI, and music integration. Crafting a compelling narrative and diverse character classes challenged my creativity. This project highlights my commitment to immersive gaming and showcases my growth as a developer.

This Python Alarm Clock app displays the current time and allows users to set multiple alarms, which are sorted by time. After an alarm sounds, it moves to the bottom of the list. The app uses the datetime, time, custom Tkinter, and winsound modules.

For my sophomore year final project, my partners and I created a program to compare sorting algorithms on different types of arrays. Users can choose from sorted, partially sorted, reversed, and random arrays, set the array length, and select a sorting algorithm. The program outputs the sorted array and the time taken to sort it.

I've used data analysis and captivating visualizations to explore the connection between anime series duration and viewer ratings, as well as the historical trends in anime's popularity.

I collaborated on a web app for doctors to track patient information from COVID-19 x-ray exams. The app supports CRUD operations for radiology reports, with pages for viewing, managing, and detailing records. Built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), it ensures a seamless user experience.
