Projects
C++ Networked Uno Game
I created this project out of my sisters' and my love for the UNO card game and desire to be able to play this game when we couldn't be in person. So, I created this multi-modal uno game that allows both local and networked play using the WinSock2 Socket API. The server and uno game functionality is written using MVC separation, allowing for easy expansions and for the local and networked modes to easily share the majority of the code. A TCP client (written in python for portability across operating systems) is included in this project as well if you want to play on the UNO Game server yourself! This project was my first large scale, non-embedded C++ project!

Ever wonder when the Northeastern Curry student center is busiest? When should you go to avoid the crowds? Well wonder no more. After training an object detection model and using a webcam in the student center, we now have the answers! View the project on GitHub to learn more!

Created this tool for a client to manage and synthesize WAV files used as part of a robo-answering machine (IVR). This tool allowed non-technical users to modify the IVR using an simple to use Angular frontend powered by a .NETCore backend and AWS (used for storage, deployments, and WAV synthesization).
ETL Tool (Data Processing)
Created a tool for a client that replaced a tedious labeling process (using a 30 page pdf guidebook) with a streamlined angular UI that easily allowed users to label data and upload/edit CSV/EXCEL files they wished to import into our system. This labelled data would be sent to a backend powered by a .NETCore which would then asynchronously process the file data using redis and python workers. These python workers not only allow for infinite horizontal scaling, but using the power of pandas entire CSV/Excel files could be quickly parsed into data types and formats used by the customer's transactional database, thus saving hundreds of hours of support time!
Retro Desktop Pet
Bored at looking at your desktop or miss your pet while away from home? Then this project is for you! This is a python project that makes an interactive desktop pet that has its own animations. Pets are customizable, can have arbitrary amounts of animations, and can easily be added by editing a config file. When run, the pets will cycle animations, move around the screen by themselves, or be moved by the user's mouse.

This is a fullstack web project I did to enhance the reading and learning experience for students learning foreign languages for teach at my school. Using a layout similar to google classroom, it lets users get synonyms and translations for words in readings and then stores that data to allow students and teachers to target their weak-spots. Using Django and a SQL database, this was my first foray into full stack development!

I always accidentally leave the garage door open when I leave home, so I created a React website using tailwind to display the status of my garage doors. Using a raspberry pi with motion sensors and firebase (with authentication) I was able to get live, secure updates about my garage door on this website.
Prototyping With Figma
Made an interactive prototype with Figma. Although this is not a coding project, I am very proud of the final result of this Figma prototype.

Created this project as part of my first hackathon ever! With the goal of letting users be able to quickly determine popular trends from different social media sites, we created an backend and API that aggregates search trends from Google as well as relevant content from a variety of sites including Youtube, Tumblr, and many others.
