I am not currently working on a single big project but am exploring and experimenting with many diferent things. I'll also get around to updating this website eventually.

Visualization of a dictionary and it's terms. Displaying definitions and word similarity through nodes in a graph. Used to explore new words and expand your vocabulary. Won data science prize. Uses D3.js.

Realtime concusion detection and processing using EEG data. Using the Muse headset to read EEG channel data for the device sensors, store and analyze the channel data in realtime. Uses Python, Java, and RethinkDB. Devpost link.

Using the WHO world disease and mortality data set, we wanted to provide a visualization that would allow you to look more closely and inspect the distribution of those affected. Uses D3.js. Devpost link. Partial Demo.

Was a hacker guru mentoring beginner hackers. Also made a web application using augmented reality to track real world Kanban boards and make them virtual. Tracks task location, translates the movement and placement, recognizes groupings, and reads text on the board to display in our web application. Uses Python and OpenCV. Devpost link. Github link.

Web application to optimize your dietary intake to maximize nutritional daily values given a selection of foods. Used as an experiment to learn linear programming. Uses Python and Flask. Devpost link.

Using Postmates, a delivery service, make couriers compete in races to see who will have the fastest delivery. Track gps route taken, live leaderboards, and text message notifications. Won best use of Postmates API. JavaScript, Python, Flask, Bootstrap, and Leaflet. Devpost link

Using a Leap Motion, a Raspberry Pi, and servos, control a peripherals state and direction through hand gestures. For our peripheral we were using a laser pointer mounted to servos on a crude frame made from a soda can, paper clips, and a breadboard. We also planned to mount it on wheels but didn't have a wifi dongle to make it wireless. Python and Java. Devpost link

Big data analysis of Restoration Media's anonymized data set on job search and email data. Produced visualizations using R analyzing the browser user agent data from the data set using dot plots and heat maps.

Android application for fitness gamification to encourage people to exercise more. Uses phone accelerometer to count steps and gamify the steps as currency. Use steps to buy powerups and multipliers to gain more steps faster.

Pebble watch app to track Long Beach Transit buses and display when the next few busses are coming to your bus stop. Written without wifi so used iPhone with 3g and CloudPebble to program the application. Using Pebble.js. Github link. Devpost link.

Web application to create a localized Instagram so you can see what is going on around you. Uses gps to determine the users location then pulls the most recent pictures taken within your local area. Uses Node.js, Bootstrap, and Instagram API. Devpost link.

My first hackathon. Initially created a real time collaboration web application but the API we were using didn't work. Instead I made a video game cloud save similar to Steam's cloud save. Java application using the Dropbox API.

Organized a four hundred person, twenty four hour hackathon at CSULB. Planned and advised as Vice Director for 2 years. Also designed, setup, and managed the power and networking infrastructure. More info at BeachHacks.com.

Developed a search engine for research papers stored on the arXiv. Scraping pdfs and parsing metadata to build corpus. Implementing boolean retrieval, disk compression, Porter stemming, page ranking, machine learning, and more. Written in C++. Github link.

Developed a cloud drive application as a clone of Google drive. Learned how to implement a multi-user cloud document storage, retrieval, search, and online code editing. Written in Java. Github link

Developed traffic analysis application to study speed limits based on bluetooth data. Won first place in ITE competition. CSULB ACM group project in collaboration with the CSULB ITE club. Original prototype in Java but now using R and Shiny.

Developed cloud based IDE web app. Initial prototype using Java, Spring Boot, SQL, Thymeleaf, and Bootstrap. This was an exploratory prototype project. Using knowledge gained to implement newer version. Github link.

This website was designed using Bootstrap, HTML, CSS, and JS. Started with the Start Bootstrap Agency theme since it had a lot of features I wanted but modified it to fit my personal preferences. This website is hosted on a Raspberry Pi on my domain.

Use a Raspberry Pi model B as an internet facing server which sits under my desk. Running Raspbian, a distro based on Debian. Used to learn how to do system administration of a server. Currently hosts this website and several other projects.

Hosted my own Wordpress blog on my Raspberry Pi. Site is now gone. Also wrote a custom plugin and theme for a client and hosted the Wordpress site on AWS. Project never finished development and never made it to the public.

Was the team captain and competed in CyberPatriot, a national high school cyber defense competition. We placed 13th out of a 1000+ teams. Configured and wrote scripts to harden windows machines. Wrote Java programs to help solve basic cryptography ciphers.

Was the team captain and won first place in Northrop Grumman's High School Innovation Challenge at the Redondo Beach location. Designed, built, and programmed a robot to autonomously navigate an unknown course filled with obstacles. Built a Vex robot and programmed it in Robot C. Competition Link

Working on the Identity platform team at Atlassian. Currently working on the permissions service, a service to provide permissions to all cloud products. Written in Go and using Redis and Cassandra.

Working on the dynamics and pattern formation of nonlocal collective motion and assembly. Wrote simulations in Matlab using neural networks to approximate an energy function based on an assembly. Grant information here.

Research project with CSULB with the Long Beach Water Department to develop a program to recognize cracks inside pipes through a video feed from a robot inside the pipe using neural networks. Using C++, Qt, and OpenCV.

Configured a Host Based Security System and implemented STIGs. Performed basic system administration tasks such as modifying firewall and iptables for Windows and Red Hat virtual machines. Automated some tasks in excel with VBScript to turn a weeks worth of work into a couple hours.

Redesigned and developed a Java application to control a video wall for powerpoint style presentations. Managed and ran demonstrations on the video wall for internal and external presentations.

Led a distributed team over two locations to design and create a website to monitor and display information on current wildfires. The website consolidated data in a centralized location in a quick and easy to read format. Java backend with Bootstrap frontend.

Programmed a prototype in Java for monitoring and analyzing chat data in near real-time. The application grouped chats, produced a dynamic social network visualization and calculated social network analysis metrics. Using Neo4j for graph storage and Gephi for visualizations.
