Here is a list of some my selected projects I have personally undertaken. I include a brief description here. Follow the links to find a more detailed look at the project including sample results, demonstrations, and/or code samples.
Pixelated Pictures (source) - I took a set of picture files, converted them to smaller thumbnails and into a database with a value for each representing it’s average RGB value. I then could reconstruct a picture by first pixelating it (done with an external library), then filling in the pixels with pictures from the database thus creating a picture with pictures. Parallelized the processing of pictures.
Snake (source) - Created a replica of Snake from Cool Math.
March Madness - Collected data for college basketball championships going back to the 90s. Used Weka to create a machine learning routine (then translated to javascript) to create a March Madness bracket and compete in the now defunct (since 2016) "Coder's Bracket" challenge.
ADP Drafter (source) - I created a program to assist me in drafting my NFL fantasy football team. It uses an ADP list (average draft position) and helps me see what players are likely to be available in later rounds of the draft.
