personal projects
Here's some of the projects I have worked on outside of school or work.
wordleAI
A wordle solver that allows me to cheat anywhere that has internet access. I first had a Python script to give me hints on obscure wordle solutions and eventually made it into a (fairly slow) web-based console program. Cheat responsibly.
Laser Cut Designs
For three years in college, I worked as a student employee managing engineering equipment. I grew to love the precision, speed, and elegance of laser cut designs.
Whether it's cycling heatmaps, custom terrariums, or James Webb telescope-inspired clocks, I still love taking concepts rapidly from idea to prototypes through a well-tuned laser cutter.
Umnitsa Robots
My introduction to system design was making a pair of small robots. They allowed me to test out computer vision and navigation algorithms that I had learned in classes. Custom ROS Python packages integrated together a Jetson Nano, Intel RealSense stereo camera, lidar, Raspberry Pi, ultrasonic ranging sensors, motor drivers, LED indictors, joystick, and "ground station" display.
They were built on a custom laser-cut chassis and used three custom designed circuit boards.
GitHub Traffic History
Ever wonder how many people have visited your GitHub repositories over the last year? Well I do. GitHub currently only provides traffic data for the last two weeks, so I wanted a way to automatically store that data over longer ranges. Using the GitHub and Gmail Python API's, I created a library to routinely pull my latest GitHub traffic data, analyze it for key metrics, and send me an email on what's new. https://github.com/betaBison/gth
