Portfolio
HoloKinect (Vision Pro)
Developed a visionOS UI for a 3D telepresence application. Future work (Fall 2024) will include encoding and transmitting 3D depth & color information by leveraging 2D image compression.
LeetGPT
Developed a Chrome extension tool that provides LeetCode users with solutions to coding problems. Leveraged OpenAI's ChatGPT Language Model API for generative solutions.
Neural RGB-D Encoding
Transmitting 3D data can be expensive, especially on hardware limited devices. Our approach to this problem was to create an end-to-end neural network sandwiched around an image codec for our encoding scheme.
CageVision
Created a spatial application which utilized an MMA API to gather upcoming event information to be displayed in a visionOS window. Conceptualized viewing MMA matches in augmented reality by introducing a 3D model of an octagon placed on a flat surface.
Handheld Retro Game Controller
Designed and constructed a handheld gaming device leveraging the capabilities of the ESP8266 module and a Raspberry Pi. The choice of game for our device was Pac-Man, a classic arcade game known for its straightforward yet challenging gameplay.
Unsupervised RGB-D Scene Categorization
Clustered scenes from a short film using RGB-D data. Included the depth information for clustering as we thought it may enhance the scene representation in regards to spatial relationships.
Hawk Talk
Created a desktop native chat application to familiarize myself with React for my incoming internship @ John Deere. Utilized websockets for bidirectional and low-latency communication.
The Gauntlet
Created a multi-stage game comprised of various challenges for our Virtual & Augmented Reality final project. Some of the challenges explored the mechanics of zero gravity, propulsion, enemy collision detection, animations, and AI navigation.
ENGR:2730 Computers in Engineering
Added features to "Asteroids" using topics including: OOP, dynamic memory allocation, SFML library, composition, inheritance, and polymorphism.
Plant Hydration Monitor
Developed an IoT web application to monitor soil moisture levels in real time. Created RESTful APIs to receive and handle sensor data from a microcontroller.
