As a fan of Formula 1 and a software engineer, I was stunned by how much data is readily available about each of the teams and drivers. With powerful libraries like fastf1, I wanted to challenge myself to make a ranking model for the World Constructors' Championship. Over the course of a month, I brushed up on my data mining and machine learning skills from school and completed this project while working full time. The project description and interactive scenario simulator are all contained in my dashboard deployed to Streamlit (linked above).
I have always wanted to learn more about machine learning and machine intelligence, so I found a brief introductory project to familiarize myself with the discipline over the summer. I followed project instructions from Machine Learning Mastery and completed the project on a weekend when I had some downtime from my internship.
A common project that many computer science students have in their project portfolio is a calculator app. The small twist that I have done for my calculator project is that I not only programmed a calculator app, but I have also used materials from the Elegoo Starter Kit to build the calculator itself. Some of the tools/libraries I used to complete this project include parts from the Elegoo Starter Kit for Mega 2560 and Arduino IDE (programming language equivalent to a mix of C++, Java, and C#).
As a typical Gen Zer, I tune into Spotify to listen to music. This summer, after researching Spotify's API and music database, I decided to start my first statistics/data analysis project and explore generational music trends. Some of the tools/libraries I used to complete this project include the Spotify Python API Spotipy, Python, R, and Tableau Public.
Another aspect of computer science that fascinates me is web development. This summer, I decided to challenge myself to learn some of the basics in order to build a personal website that displays my projects, academic endeavors, and interests. Some of the tools/libraries I used to complete this project include HTML, CSS, JavaScript, GitHub Pages, and Google Fonts.
During my first term on the William & Mary Undergraduate Honor Council, I noticed an issue the executive board was having and took initiative by developing a Python application that helps delegate casework more evenly and tracks participation statistics. This program works with Google Drive to track participation statistics for the Honor Council. Some of the tools/libraries I used to complete this project include Python, PyQt5, and a Google Drive API.
In my first college Computer Science course, I made this 15-cell slide puzzle and customized it with some colors and sound effects. Some of the tools/libraries I used to complete this project include Python and PyQt5.
In my senior year of high school, I took the CollegeBoard's AP Computer Science Principles course and produced this Universal Grade Tracker, which helped me earn a 5/5 on the AP exam. This app was made with the Code.org platform and JavaScript.
