Drone Mission Simulator

August 2023

A Rust program that dynamically generates simulations of a drone searching for / tracking a target across randomly-generated hostile terrain. Uses Actix Web as a backend API to serve HTTP requests to and from the React UI. The simulations are rendered and animated in 3D on a WebGL canvas. Data retained in Postgres database via Diesel.

Smart Soap Dispenser

December 2022

Designed, built, and programmed a prototype 'smart' IoT soap dispenser that sensed liquid-level to ±2% and posted/displayed results on a custom web application.

Used electrical engineering skills to wire custom circuitry to obtain resistance from sensor. Wrote hundreds of lines of C++ to obtain, interpret, and post telemetry to a REST HTTP API. Displayed results on a cutom web application using React.

Pac-Man Machine Repair/Restoration

November 2022

Troubleshot and repaired a malfunctioning PCB and CRT for an original 1980 Midway Pac-Man machine. Used electrical engineering skills to identify, diagnose, and replace the malfunctioning components to restore machine to working condition.

I maintain the high score on the working machine.

Chess

October 2022

As an exercise in familiarizing myself with JavaScript, I coded Chess from scratch using plain JavaScript for all the game logic and Svelte for the UI. Fully implements all the rules and nuances of chess. Doesn't look pretty, but it works!

Try it out!

Website Search Engine

July 2022

A one-stop shop for crawling a website, scraping its data (in this case, human-readable text), and performing custom searches on the data. Optional pre-processing tools and multiple search algorithm options enable a user to customize and optimize their searches.

Face-Finding Web Crawler

June 2022

This application crawls a domain, takes screenshots of each page, and analyzes the screenshots for faces. Screenshots are modified to highlight faces (those without faces are deleted), and total face-count is tallied.

ZFleck Finance

May 2022

My final project for Harvard's CS50x course, combining many of the technologies and frameworks learned throughout the course. Implements a simple stock trading simulator, using realtime data obtained from IEX Stock Exchange's API. Has full user registration functionality with cookies, user sessions, and password-hashing.

Optimizing Fishing in Sea of Thieves
