Alpen Aerial Client Project Brief Page (HTML, JavaScript, and PHP, 2022)

Feb 2022

The Project Brief page was independently designed with my UI Compiler, WebGen, to better the user experience of clients of Alpen Aerial by giving users a location to create, store, and edit project requests. Alpen Aerial is a company which designs aerial drone tours for the construction and destination location industries. As a project done out-of-contract, I reserve all creation rights to the system design.

OrgAI - Purdue University Organization AI Suggester (Python, 2022)

Jan 2022

OrgAI is a Python Artificial Intelligence Program created to suggest organizations at Purdue University based upon defined keywords. Using Selenium Browser Automation, OrgAI accesses Purdue's Organization Directory, Boilerlink and processes the site's language data. Each unique word presented by organization descriptions is rated based upon the frequency it is used within the directory and weight values generated as users make decisions. Data is continuously developed for suggestion accuracy as users rank organizations on a floating point scale of 0 to 1 based upon their interest. This program was independently created in two days.

Shortest Path Grid Traversal Program (C Programming and Data Structures / Algorithms, 2021)

Nov 2021

The final project of Purdue University's Data Structures course challenged me to independently develop a program capable of computing the shortest path from the top of a weighted grid to the bottom of the grid. This project required me to understand graph theory, structures, and most of all runtime analysis. Ultimately, my code ran flawlessly when tested with a large set of test cases alongside hundred of other student programs. Needless to say, what I gleaned most from the Data Structures course was an ability to debug for efficiency and accuracy.

Digital WAV Player Design (Device / PCB Design and Microcontroller Programming, 2021)

Nov 2021 - Dec 2021 (2 months)

As part of Purdue University's Microprocessor Systems and Interfacing course, I worked with a team to build a Digital WAV Player capable of playing both 8-bit and 16-bit audio files with .wav extensions. My participation in the team was hardware design and system interfacing. In addition to this, I produced deliverables and corresponded with course staff.

Alpen Aerial Company Website Design (Website Design, 2021)

Sep 2021 - Dec 2021 (4 months)

While working for Alpen Aerial, a drone-based media solutions company, I developed a company website using Wix. Although Wix is a very basic website-building software, I was able to practice my UI/UX skills in development. The website features a simplistic design with opportunities for users to explore the product. Several backend pages were developed for easy client use to update the website portfolio, manage customers leads, and site membership.

WebGen - Python Based UI Compiler (User Interface, Website Design, and Python, 2021/2022)

Aug 2021 - Mar 2022 (8 months)

WebGen is a custom Python to User Interface compiler with the goal of making website and app design cleaner and more efficient. WebGen uses Python classes to represent HTML elements, creating repeated structures much more reliably than copy/paste. Javascript, CSS, and PHP global files can be created and linked to pages, giving creators the ability to use the same pieces of code on every site. WebGen was used to build this Portfolio and was updated in the process. WebGen operates much more smoothly than programming from scratch in HTML, while still presenting the customizable flexibility of creating a website through code.

Aesthetic Brand Design Partnership For Shopify Store Transfer (Data Collection / Website Design, 2021)

Jun 2021 - Jul 2021 (2 months)

The ABM Shopify Transfer was a project contribution I made to the store transfer of RejuveMD's DermPro store to Shopify. In partnership with Aesthetic Brand Marketing (ABM), I developed a Basic program used to scan a Shopify webpage and populate an csv file with the content of desired website content. The final product was used to efficiently transfer 55 pages of DermPro store content without any help from the DermPro website building company itself. ABM was grateful for my contribution, as it saved their team many hours of copy/pasting content.

Optical Heart Rate Sensor Design (Device / Circuit Design With Analog and Digital Output, 2021)

Apr 2021

The final project for Purdue University's Electrical Fundamentals II Lab course provided the challenge of independently designing an optical heart rate sensor device. The successful project saw a functioning optical sensing subsystem, which analyzed changes in heart rate by detecting variations in an infrared diode's output through a subject's finger with a phototransistor.

WYd. Startup Directory Data Collection (VBA, HTML, Data Collection, and Business Development, 2020)

Sep 2020 - Oct 2020 (2 months)

In 2020, I participated in the development of an unsuccessful startup called WYd. (now known as clix). The student-led company attempted to produce a social app for finding friends and relationships on college campuses. In order to help the team analyze student demographics, I wrote a program capable of traversing the Purdue University Directory and generating student information. This software which applied HTML, JavaScript, Python, and VBA and, over the course of 120 hours, gathered the public information of over 35,000 students for demographic purposes.

GPS-Based 3-Dimensional Coordinate Plotting Program (Python, MATLAB, and Data Processing, 2020)

Jul 2020

While working for Leak Location Services, Inc., a geomembrane liner inspection company, I developed a system for geographically mapping large project sites. Using the basic GPS of a mobile phone, I was able to obtain the 3-dimensional coordinates of a site. These coordinates were then taken and plotted 3-dimensionally to produce a map of the project site. This system proved especially useful for determining the project site dimensions, tracking the location of liner defects, and producing client deliverables.

Geoamperic Interpreter (Device / PCB Design and Industrial Application, 2020)

Jul 2020 - Aug 2020 (2 months)

While working for Leak Location Services, Inc., a geomembrane liner inspection company, I realized that the tools used in industry needed an upgrade. With my knowledge of power systems, I independently designed a prototype device used to detect holes in geomembrane liners. The Geoamperic Interpreter reads voltage measurements used to identify subterranean defects in liners and correlates it to geographic data from the device's GPS. With custom software, the handheld device was able to accurately store data from large industrial project sites.

Boy Scouts of America Terrace Planter Eagle Scout Project (CAD / Multidisciplinary Engineering, 2019)

Mar 2019 - Jul 2019 (5 months)

In the Summer of 2019, I was awarded the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout Rank, the highest achievement attainable from the six year program. Part of my required services for rank advancement was to contribute to my community through a meaningful project. It was my honor to design and construct a terrace planter for the Colonial Hills Elementary School in San Antonio, TX. Inspired by the ancient Incan people, the planter was designed using AutoCAD and hand built with a complete irrigation system.
