Side-Projects: That won things
Aud.io
April 2017
Best Failure to Launch, HackPrinceton
Built a Python Flask app that hoped to send snippets of songs via Facebook messenger (instead of GiFS) so that song lyrics could be added to group chats. Got song lyric-based search working but could not find the correct snippet of the song. Available on GitHub
Keyboard Keyboard
October 2016
Best Hardware Hack, HackNY Fall 2016

Wait List Exchange
February 2016
Best Overall, Philly Codeday 2016
A quick Python, jQuery system that allowed users to trade "commodities" (in our case wait list positions) in cycles among each other. Allowed an arbitrary number of parties to trade using graph cycle-finding algorithms. Available on GitHub
Side-Projects: The fun things
dance-dance
April 2019
Bitcamp 2019
Learning that training neural networks is infeasible at a hackathon the hard way: tried to train a CNN to classify dance moves and attempt to add appropriate music. Learned a lot about tensorflow, the noise in various data sets (and managing that) among other things. Available on GitHub
snackBot
September 2018
PennApps Fall 2018
An attempt to make a self-driving snack cart out of scraps, inexperience, and complete guesses at reasonable algorithms. Has a working PIN and calling system and a partially tested controller for the robot. Unfortunately could not be tested on hardware in the 36 hours with only 1 teammate and some external help. Available on GitHub
RChain
November 2017
HackPrinceton Fall 2017
An experiment at getting Reddit on the blockchain. Worked in a group of 4 to get Ark.io's blockchain system to bend to our will. Available on GitHub
Vimfilesys

HackNY Spring 2017
A small REPL to help test smaller CUDA programs. A simple Python app that scripts all the compilation and configuration steps to run a program. Available on GitHub
mkide
January 2017
PennApps Spring 2017
An attempt to write a program with a friend that, given the syntax of a programming language, creates a development environment like scratch. Tried this through pygame and yacc. Available on GitHub
Calcula-comp
January 2017
A small, scheme-based programming language for just the integer arithmetic. Compiles to x86 assembly and produces a linkable header. Written concisely in Python. Available on GitHub
My CV Site

A free-cycling website that allowed users to offer unused items for collection. Used the file system to store blog-like descriptions and tags regarding the items. Had a Python backend, Google OAuth-managed users, and a frontend powered by jQuery and Google maps. Available on GitHub
