I like working on a variety of projects in different areas of Computer Science, but my main areas of interest are Web Development, ML / Computer Vision, and Automation. Here are some of my favorite projects that I've worked on over the last several years. Feel free to click on a project's name to visit the GitHub repository for it, where you can learn more about the languages I used, the features implemented, and the technologies learned to build it!
- ACCR Mail Manager - A full-stack web app for managing inmate paper mail used internally by ACCR (The Atlantic Center for Capital Representation). This semester-long group project was developed for CSC-415: Software Engineering, and required multiple iterations of design, requirements gathering with an actual client, implementation, presentation, testing, and delivery.
- TCNJ Library App - A full-stack web and mobile application for tracking live study-room occupancy data. Created over the course of more than 10 years by several TCNJ CS majors. See the repository for my personal contributions to the project over a 2-semester research experience.
- The GOON Card - A full-stack web app for creating and sharing dynamically-generated business cards. Choose exactly which social media links to share on a person-by-person basis on the fly in order to organize personal and professional contacts. Created as collaborative final project for CSC-355: Human Computer Interaction.
- Freighter - A flexible library for creating dynamic abd customizable HTML carousels. Also features a complete documentation website with demos, API docs, and downloads page.
- React Custom Select - A simple React component written in TypeScript that implements both single and multiple select form elements. The component also supports full keyboard-accessibility.
- Pantry Packer - A full-stack web app that tailors donations for food pantries based on their current needs. A pantry can request donations of specific items, and donors can search for pantries to donate to based on these needs.
- Wordle Guesser - A simple web app that helps suggest words for the popular word game Wordle. Implements a custom algorithm for determining the next best word to guess based on the current state of the game.
- Personal Website - A simple personal website used for hosting my resume, contact links, and other minor information about me.
- Tello Follow - A program for controlling a DJI Tello drone via facial recognition and object detection based on HCI principles like color masking and object tracking.
- Head Nod Detection - A facial recognition system that determines if a user is currently nodding yes, no, or remaining still. Uses a number of points of interest and a custom algorithm in order to determine if movements should actually be considered as nods.
- Arm Raise Detection - A pose detection system that determines which of the user's arms are currently raised or lowered. Utilizes a simple algorithm for determining the current pose of both arms.
- Neural Network Library - A simple neural network library that allows for simple layer and activation function customization. Includes small examples featuring the MNIST dataset of hand-written numbers.
- Amazon Bias Correction - A web scraper for detecting and correcting Amazon product review bias. Uses a custom algorithm for determining if a review is biased, and implements a strategy for correcting it.
- Easy Enroll - A script written to automatically prioritize college course registration based on a number of factors including student major, course prerequisites, and course availability.
- B-Minor - A simple C-like language implemented over the course of a semester for CSC-425: Compilers and Interpreters. Includes a lexical analyzer, parser, and machine code generator for ARM-based processors, all written from scratch.
