Early Experiments
Old school, weekend, and hackathon projects. Some are rough, but I still like having them around.
AI / Search
ByteSize
2024A Bitcamp prototype that searched a document collection by meaning and related language rather than exact wording.
Hermes
2024A command-line tool for sending code snippets and searching message history by meaning. I used it to experiment with BERT embeddings, vector search, and a developer workflow that stayed inside the terminal.
Music Similarity Search
An experiment in finding songs by how they sound rather than how they are labeled, using learned audio representations and vector search.
Movie Success Prediction
2024An early data-science project using exploratory analysis, feature engineering, and XGBoost to predict whether a film would be commercially successful.
Systems
Unix-like Shell in C
2024A small shell with tokenization into a command tree, pipes, file redirection, boolean operators, and process control. Building it made those operating-system concepts concrete.
Computer Vision
YOLO Parking Pass Detector
2022A computer-vision system that detected vehicle parking passes at roughly 96 percent accuracy, then used OCR to read the pass number.
Platonic Rotation
2021A linear algebra visualization that rotates Platonic solids in three dimensions and projects them into two using transformation matrices and OpenCV.
