9 projects / All disciplines
Distributed messaging & server discovery
Distributed
Java chat system with custom TCP networking, peer message replication, and a replicated discovery service that elects a new primary after failure.
Evaluating object detection under occlusion
6,312 training images Whole-pet boxes retained
YOLOv8n / EfficientDet-D0
ML
A computer-vision pipeline that generates synthetic obstructions, trains pet detectors, and measures how their results transfer to naturally occluded animals.

⋮
jal printiParse → Resolve names & types → Emit
Systems
A Python compiler that parses J-- programs, resolves names and types, and generates MIPS assembly with a custom stack calling convention.
Keep the best. Vary the offspring.
CV fitness → Selection → Crossover + mutation
ML
A Python optimizer that evolves classifier settings through cross-validation, selection, crossover, and mutation while handling dependencies between parameters.
Time capacity and candidate schedules
Algorithms
A Python scheduling prototype that combines backtracking and genetic search to assign recurring soccer games and practices under capacity and placement constraints.
Full-stack reservation management
Customer phoneLocationDateWHEREPrevious keySETReplacement valuesFull-Stack
A React and Express application for customer accounts, reservation editing, and event inquiries, backed by a relational MySQL database.
Controller signals to game actions
Active-low → pressed maskDecode bits → Pygame actionsEmbedded
C firmware that reads an SNES controller directly through Raspberry Pi GPIO and sends button states to a desktop game over serial.
Temperature control rule
target − 3 ≤ current ≤ target + 3
Both temperature actuators are off inside the target band.
Systems
A Java desktop simulation with independently timed environmental controllers, live equipment states, and saved histories for reviewing each run.
Browsing, profiles, and parent controls
Frontend
A React prototype for family viewing, with separate parent and child interfaces, personalized browsing, and settings saved per profile in the browser.
