I was Team Lead of a group of seven for this two-term project. We worked with a sponsor in the Portland community to gather requirements, design, develop and implement an interactive visualizer software as part of an art installation at Burning Man. The project involves two Raspberry Pis connected by Ethernet cable. It is written in Python and utilizes VLC's API. The core of the project was determining how to generate and sync video playlists between two Pis with user input. We solved this problem with socket programming and command line scripting.
In this project, I worked with a teammate to design a web application that dynamically loads taped shows from the current day in history using Archive.org's JSON API. Selecting a show takes you to an embedded playback feature.
This program takes in two images with faces and morphs them by matching feature points and utilizing Delauney Triangulation. This is repeated until there are enough images to generate a blended gif.
In this project, I expanded on the existing xv6 operating system architecture. I learned the core concepts of operation systems, including processes and threads, scheduling, synchronization, memory management, file systems, and the I/O subsystem. I enjoyed this class and was asked to return the next term as a Technical Course Support Specialist and grader.
Much of this course was spent discovering vulnerabilities in Solidity, which is why our final project was written in Vyper, a safer language for smart contracts.
In this Python project, a robot learns to explore a ten by ten grid using Q-learning.
An implementation of Quicksort with Insertion Sort, Dual Pivot Quicksort, and Dual Pivot Quicksort with Insertion Sort.
