Brief list of languages in order of familiarity (Most familiar  Least familiar):

Java, HTML, XML, SVG, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Swift, Python, SQL, Bash, Batch, AppleScript
Also, all of the websites I make are purely created by me in a text editor. (Not a drag and drop WYSIWYG editor). I try to make each site have a unique function that stands out from the others.

Projects

  • iOS App for iPhone (called “TacTickle” on App Store) is a board game I developed after taking a summer class at Stanford University about iOS development using Swift 2.0

  • I spent part of a summer at MIT for an electrical engineering camp where we learned to design and program microcontroller circuits interfaced to sensors and displays. My project connected a 3 axis accelerometer and an LCD display to a Particle Photon™ microcontroller. I developed an animation of a 3D wireframe cube that would rotate based on accelerometer inputs as the device was rotated and tilted. I also developed a game in which users needed to tilt the device to roll a virtual ball into a target which moves to a new random location after every score. I developed other applications to demonstrate the capabilities of the accelerometer sensor as well.

  • I have done many projects at a lab called the “Faulhaber Fab Lab @ Suncoast Science Center”. They have many industrial machines such as Laser Cutters, 3D Printers, a CNC Router, a CNC Milling machine, lathes, and various other tools. I have learned to use various programs to create designs which can then be fabricated using these machines.

  • My team won first place in an RC Car Design Contest at the Faulhaber Fab Lab for the Drag Race competition amongst teams from various high schools in Sarasota County. I used 3d Modelling software to experiment with different wheel designs which I could print on a 3D printer. I also experimented with wheel designs created on a Laser cutter from Acrylic.

  • For an AP Physics project, I wrote a Java program which would calculate a high resolution Tautochrone curve using parametric equations and then generate an SVG file which I used to Laser cut side by side tracks to demonstrate that the time for a ball to reach the end of the track is the same regardless of how far up the track the ball starts.

  • For another AP Physics Project, a group of my friends and I worked on a classroom-budget standing wave generator powered by an Arduino microcontroller. A motor holding an acrylic ellipse would rotate at a specified RPM against a horizontal, low friction string. An Arduino would be able to determine the frequency of the wave by measuring the back EMF of the DC motor. I decided that the best course of action was to laser cut the ellipses. The laser cutter accepts files in the format of an SVG. The default program that many members of the fab lab use is called CorelDraw. While I am able to use the program, it was not at all intuitive for our purpose (to cut many different sized ellipses for different shaped waves). I created a Java program that would take an array of ellipse dimensions and neatly lay them out in order in an SVG file for the Laser Cutter. All of the ellipses were evenly spaced and the dimensions were inscribed in each unique ellipse. This program made it very simple when we wanted to add/change different ellipses. We could just change the semi major/minor axis in the array and the full SVG document was ready to be cut in a fraction of a second.

  • I volunteered as a technical intern at the Jacaranda Library. Using my knowledge of Xcode and Swift, I developed an app for the library that was able to download information about the library from their website and display it in a neat list view with offline features such as viewing hours/policies/contact info.

  • The Fab Lab also has an FRC robotics team. Part of the competition involved launching balls into a tower. I used my AP Physics 1 knowledge to derive the kinematics equations for launching projectiles to create a Java program to figure what velocity and angle the robot should shoot the ball so it lands in the tower when the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex of the toss). The only input the program needed was the coordinates of the target tower. Since the tower was always at a fixed height, all we needed was the “x” displacement and that was easy to find using image recognition and an ultrasonic sensor.

  • I extended my electrical knowledge when I built a solar powered iPhone charger and solar car for my final chemistry project. The clear case for the iPhone charger was cut at the fab lab. For the circuit, I had a 6V 167mA solar panel in parallel with rechargeable AAA batteries and a 5V USB charging board. It took about a day for the batteries to fully charge up. The batteries were able to charge the phone at the same rate as a standard Apple USB charger.

  • Created a homemade security system using an old laptop with Linux. The computer would watch the webcam feed and determine if there was motion in the picture. If so, the system would text all family members with all available information including the video of the intruder.

  • Developed a website for my math tutor club that used an SQL database to store tutor contacts (and obviously, HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript). I hosted this website on a Raspberry Pi computer in my home.

  • Developed a splash page for my iOS App utilizing HTML image mapping.
