Portfolio Website

Developing this portfolio website was one of my projects. I wanted to create a website where the data displayed on the website was completly seperated from the code drawing the website. This way, if I ever want to update how the site appears I can do so without rewritting all of the content on the site.

A Discord bot that primarily displays synopses of Anime/Manga/Light Novel titles from MyAnimeList. It can also serve as a recommendation engine when a club member is looking for a new item to watch/read. Originally written in JavaScript and then later completely rewritten in TypeScript.

Bootstrap

Psycholinguistic tool for converting strings of digits into the major mnemonic system that runs in your web browser. Uses the Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary for word pronunciations and the Reilly Noun Imageability Dataset from Jamie Reilly's doctoral dissertation for word bank. The algorithm minimizes the total number of words outputted and maximizes the Reilly imaginability score for each word choice.

Mnemosyne (pronounced: "new-ma-se-nee") is a graphical front-end for jrnl built with node.js and Bootstrap. jrnl is a fantastic open source text-based journaling application. However, it has one major problem: Interacting with your journal from a mobile device is difficult and error prone. This application seeks to fix that. By hosting a small node.js webserver on a device such as a Raspberry Pi, one can easily create and view their jrnl entries from a progressive web app on their phone or tablet anywhere. Mnemosyne is named after the Goddess of memory and remembrance in Greek mythology.

Farmer SMS

Built for the 2019 MinneHack 24-hour Hackathon. When we were researching the problems facing farmers in developing countries today, one of the largest issues was a lack of information. Many farmers live without internet access, and are unable to learn about best farming practices, weather updates, or even just current news. However, as evidenced by the rapid rise of mobile banking in places like Africa, it is clear that farmers have access to phone services. We have created a SMS service to help farmers advance their personal education and increase their agricultural productivity.

Steganography Encoder/Decoder

Updated on: 2018-12-21

JavaScriptHTML

Steganography is the practice of hiding objects in plain sight. This application hides files in the least significant bits of the color channels of PNG (Portable Network Graphics) images. This adds a small amount of noise to the image that is often completely unnoticable to any person looking at it. This application was the result of a team effort from Evan Vander Hoeven, Nicholas Labelle, Tanner Verber, Brendan Bard, Connor Fergesen, and I. It was created as a project for UW-Stout's Fall 2018 Software Engineering Principles class as an excercise in using Agile development.

SpaceX Database Simulation

C++SQL
MySQL

Creates data to populate a simple but non-trivial database for my Databases class. First it uses Curl to download a complete SpaceX mission manifest from this open source REST API. Then it parses the downloaded JSON data using the RapidJSON Library. Afterwards, it performs a simulation to generate hypothetical future launch data. Many variables are simulated such as maximum reflights of cores, payload masses limited to launch configuration limits for any destination orbit, and dates that follow real world calendar rules such as everything from months having the correct number of days to properly handling leap years. Finally, the program outputs the conglomeration of real world and simulated data into a database by either directly connecting to the database or by printing out the results into a text file that can be read into the database manually.
