Side Projects

Restaurant Recommender Web Application
A Spring Boot web application side project that ranks the restaurants in a group's vicinity based on how well each restaurant matches all the group members' cuisine preferences. The application includes a map of restaurants and provides directions to restaurants if prompted. Users have the option of saving the top ten restaurants returned by my app as well as their location. User authorization and authentication is provided by the Keycloak API. Please note that there are currently bugs with the third party Keycloak software I used in this project.

Twitter Movie Rater
A Flask web application side project that rates movies based on tweets by utlizing sentiment analysis, a popular machine learning model used in natural language processing. This project calculates a movie's rating based on a 5 star scale and returns the 5 most popular tweets, 5 most positive tweets, and 5 most negative tweets about the movie. This app also includes a Redis Queue worker to speed up computationally heavy machine learning tasks.

Bug Tracker Web Application
Currently engineering a Spring Boot web application that enables developers to gather beta testers for their products. Beta testers can submit tickets of the bugs they discover in the developers’ product to the developers themselves. Utilizes Keycloak for authentication and authorization purposes in tandem with a separately created MySQL database. I have also used the AngularJS framework for my front-end work in this project.

Video Manipulation Program
A side project that can split video files at a desired time stamp and concatenate multiple video files together. This project was written in Java and includes a GUI for users to easily input their desired videos and time stamps.

CLASS WORK AND RESEARCH at UC Davis

File System (Operating Systems Class Project)
Engineered a file system in C based off the structure of the Microsoft file system. This project allowed a user to mount and unmount a virtual “disk” that contained files as well as create, delete, open, close, read to, and write from files among others.

Research Assistant in an Agent-Based Modeling Laboratory
Researched the health and socio-economic effects caused by the COVID-19 epidemic by programming various agent-based models focused on these effects. These models were written in Java.

Davis Bus Route Program
Wrote a C++ program to parse an OSM file containing over 100,000 different locations in Davis, California and find the shortest routes between any two locations in the city. The program accounted for Davis’s one-way streets, speed limits, walking paths, and sidewalks — all of which were contained in a CSV file.
