Programming Studio: SQL Database Implementation
Class Project • August 2017 - December 2017
-
Team Project with a group of 2 other members along with myself.
-

-
Language used: C++
Programming Studio: Online Mancala Game
Class Project • August 2017 - December 2017
-
Team Project with a group of 2 other members along with myself.
-
The goal was to implement our own version of the popular mancala board game. Java Swing was used for designing the GUI. The user has 2 paths to choose from, local and online. If they choose local, they can either play another player, play against an AI, or have 2 AIs play against each other. If the user chooses to play online, they can then either act as the server and play with another client, or they can act as a server completely and wait for 2 more clients to connect to play. Each client is another instance of the application that can either be another player or an AI. If online is chosen, the port number, as well as the IP address of the server, will have to be provided by the user.
-
Our team worked in an Agile environment in order to accomplish each individual task that contributed to the overall success of the project.

Programming Studio: Uber vs. Lyft
Class Project - Catch-A-Ride • August 2017 - December 2017
-
Team Project with a group of 2 other members along with myself.
-
The goal of this project was to utilize at least 3 web services to create a web mashup of anything that we deemed useful. We created a web application that takes in an address from the user and outputs a list of the closest ubers and lyfts nearby of each ride type. If a ride is the cheapest, it will be outlined in blue. If a ride is the closest to you, it will be outlined in red. If a ride is both cheapest and closest, it will be outlined in green. If the user finds one to his/her liking, they can click on the ride image and it will redirect them to the specified uber or lyft mobile app with the destination already filled out.
-
APIs that were utilized involve Google Maps, Uber Estimate, and Lyft Estimate.

Worked with a group of 2 other undergraduate students, 1 masters student, all under direction of Dr. Tracy Hammond
-
The goal was to analyze the swimming style of the user through Machine Learning and serve as a navigational tool for personal use. The current situation with swimming is to use visual landmarks as a form of navigation. This process is tough because it relies on a high cognitive load while performing physical activities. We leveraged the use of Machine Learning to program Arduino-based chips and send feedback to users in real time through vibrotactile while swimming. The use of a mobile device, which will learn from your swim style and then work with the Arduino to navigate users towards their desired end location. This will allow better navigation compared to the current style used for swimmers.
-
My role in this project was to take the data gathered from a swimmer wearing the mobile phone and to extract certain features, such as the number of peaks for X, Y, and Z, that would allow the device to correctly classify which type of swimming stroke that the user is attempting.

Intro to Programming and Design
Class Project - Electron Boogaloo • January 2016 - May 2016
-
This was a class project of 4 people for a computer science class. The object of the game was to move satellites around a globe to maximize the distance between each of them. The difficulty level was determined by the number of satellites to move. The game would end once the timer reached zero or the total 50 moves available was reached. The final score was determined by multiplying the least distance between two satellites by the number of satellites chosen with the difficulty level.
-
The score was outputted to a text file and kept track of every score, while outputting the top five scores with the players initials on the start screen before the players begins. In order to create the satellites, we created objects (classes/structures) to hold appropriate values for each such as its position. Multiple functions were used to implement the distance calculation and to create objects on the screen. The graphical interface was created using FLTK.
