Projects
Document Tag Parser
Create a Document Tag Parser Application that will read bate stamps on documents and rename the files based on Santa Barbara Public Defender's naming convention. Application will be able to transcribe texts from images.
- Full software application was launched for Santa Barbara Public Defender’s office.
- Able to process folders/file(s) in under one minute.
- 99.99% accurate.
- Fast, by utilizing multithreading it saves Santa Barbara Public Defender’s office roughly 30+ hours per week.
- Utilizies, Pytesseract OCR Library, Pdf2image Library, PyMuPDF, Tkinter.
Box.com and eDefender Integration
Integration of boxes’ cloud service to eDefender. In the process of the integration, we will be using Box, AWS, and Azure. A media file will be uploaded to box, and it will trigger events leading up AWS to make a call to Azure to transcribe and recognize faces in the media file.
- Provide a method for transcribing both video and audio files.
- Adapt the existing Box skill application to function within our sponsor’s environment.
- Collaborate with our sponsor’s developers to add an alert system to the app.
- Test the application to ensure it functions as expected with all external dependencies.
- Utilizes AWS and Microsoft Azure Video Analzyer.
C++ Algorithm Path Visualizer
Needed project ideas and was told this was a good project to do. So I did my own Path Visualizer project with the SFML library and coded mine in C++. I created a grid that finds a path to a target with an searching algorithm. You can created walls and and get a visualization of BFS, DFS, and Djisktra algorithm (shortest path) from this program.
- Shows time elapsed with the BFS search.
- Able to make walls and select target area.
- Has shortest path algorithm.
- Done with SFML library.
Raycaster
Raycasting is a rendering technique to create a 3D perspective in a 2D map. Back when computers were slower it wasn't possible to run real 3D engines in realtime, and raycasting was the first solution. Raycasting can go very fast, because only a calculation has to be done for every vertical line of the screen. The most well known game that used this technique, is of course Wolfenstein 3D.
- Uses the Digital Differential Analyzer algorithm.
- Able to make walls.
- Next update is utilize Vector fan to make ray visualization.
- Done with SFML library.
Python Scripting Project
Python scripting refers to the use of the Python programming language to write standalone scripts (i.e., scripts that do not require an external file or library to run). A Python script is a plain text file that contains a set of instructions written in the Python language, and it can be executed by the Python interpreter.
Scripts can perform a wide range of tasks, such as reading and writing files, making HTTP requests, automating repetitive tasks, or solving complex problems. They can be used for data processing, data visualization, web scraping, machine learning, and many other purposes.
- Creates new directories and with renamed files.
- Compiles go.file.
- Creates new meta data of files we modified.
Unreal Engine Project: Warehouse Wreckage
My first project from tutorials. It demonstrates the understanding of Blueprint basics, Programming basics, Unreal basics, and Object Oriented basics. Created a level and in the level is a warehouse, in the warehouse are objects and you can shoot the objects with a cannonball knocking them over. I've added my own spin to the project with the ability to restart the level after running out of ammo, reloading ammo, and a cannonball explosion after every shot.
- Blueprint Basics: nodes, pins.
- Unreal programming basics: variables, strings, references, functions.
- Unreal basics: maps, actors, components, transforms, vectors.
- Object Oriented Programming Basics in unreal: objects/structs, classes, member functions.
Unreal Engine Project: Obstacle Assault
An obstacle course game demo. This game demonstrates the use of C++ in Unreal Engine. I create a BluePrint class based off the MovingPlatform C++ actor class we created. Right click on the MovingPlatform C++ file and select -> "Create Blueprint Class based on Moving Platform". In the blue print editor we will add the assests (a floor mesh) as a component. This is basically a child of the main Blue Print class Moving Platform and will inherit all its attributes.
-
What this project demonstrates:
- The structure of C++ syntax.
- Object Oriented Programming. Member variables and functions.
- Blueprint child classes of C++.
Unreal Engine Project: Dungeon Maze
An Dungeon Maze Game made with Unreal Engine. To grab hold of an object we need to interact with a physics system. we can do that with UPhysicsHandleComponent. I add the component under player_bp. its already a component on the system and its an actor component because it goes down into the lower section.
-
What this project demonstrates:
- Usuage of Actor Components and Scene Components
- Use of Lightning with Lumen
- Modular Level Design.
- Line Tracing and collisions.
Self Driving Car with built from scratch neural network
I learned how to built this program from a self driving car project tutorial that with having an idea of neural networks taking two semesters of ML and AI classes. This program uses a neural network built from scratch with JavaScript. The neural network will be trained and teach a car how to manuever around other cars. Using raycasting as five sensors that will take input and go through a neural network that will then learn and output new weights to eventually teach it to avoid cars.
- To use this app try to train the car with one car on the on road first and the gradually putting in more cars. Save the best training results and then refresh the screen
- The input of layer of the neural network will retrieve its values from the five sensors.
- The output layer of the neural network will output the directions the car wll be moving.
Neural Network from Scratch
I made this Neural Network to have a better understanding of how Neural Network works. Built with C++.
- There is a text file with training data to train the program to figure out if an XOR problem is true or false.
- You can change the text file with a training data generator I made by uncommenting the code in main and putting whatever training data you want in it.
- Feature updates will make a neural network visualizer that will animate when weights and nodes are being activated.
Black Jack Game
A simple black jack game created with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
- A simple black jack game against the computer. The plan was to use the deckofcards api but for I made my own code for shuffling its own card
- Added replay button.
- Added bootstrap.
- Feature updates. Will use deckofcards api and React.
Binary Search Tree Java Project
A program I made a couple of years ago with Java that displays a Binary Search Tree.
- Displays preorder, inorder, postorder, and breadthfirst. You can insert and delete numbers from the child and update the tree.
C++ Bouncy Ball Demo
A C++ project I did a couple of years ago. Demoing a Ball Bouncing around the window. It's purpose was to demonstrates collision detection. You can move the square object controlled by user with WASD key. Project done with SFML library.
- Demonstrate collision detection.
- Demonstrate player movement in with keys.
- Demonstrate the use of boundaries.
iOS BookStore
Learning how to use Apple's swift application by making a bookstore for an iPhone from my iOS app development class.
- Project still in the works. Will utilize a database containing books and book details.
