GPT4, Pinecone, arXiv, React, SupaBase
ML From Scratch
Building neural networks, encoder/decoder transformers, and decoder-only transformers using pure Numpy and PyTorch. Wrote a detailed, beginner-friendly guide to transformers to go along with fully annotated code.
Nov 2023 - Aug 2024
PyTorch, NumPy
Chess Position Analyzer
A system that can take an image of a real chess board, detect pieces, identify locations, and analyze the position. Uses Canny Edge Detection and a self-created Hough Transform to locate the board in the image.
Sep 2022 - Nov 2022
PyTorch, OpenCV, YOLOv7 Object Detection
Smart Sprinkler
An automated system that uses YOLOv3 object detection to find patches in a lawn and aim a real sprinkler at them to save water. The sprinkler uses high torque motors for dual axis rotation controlled by an Arduino.
Aug 2020 - Apr 2021
Tensorflow, Arduino, YOLOv3 Object Detection
Typing Glove
A glove with a flex sensor connected to an Arduino that uses a neural network to learn a user's hand gestures. It maps their finger movements to alphanumeric keys, allowing for keyboardless typing.
Sep 2019 - Mar 2020
Tensorflow, Arduino, Neural Network
Goal Line Technology System
An Arduino controlled system that used an array of ultrasonic sensors to detect where/when a soccer ball crossed the goal line with 95% accuracy. Used an ESP32 to deliver a text message to the referee whenever a goal was scored.

Arduino, ESP32
Other Projects
Twitter Thread Generator
Dec 2022 - Feb 2023
A tool that scrapes the latest news articles, stores them to a database, and uses GPT-3 to write in depth threads to post on Twitter.
Stock Price Predictor
Dec 2020 - Apr 2021
An LSTM model trained on historical stock data to predict future AAPL prices.
Wordzal
Mar 2022 - Apr 2022
A more challenging version of Wordle where you are only given the number of letters in each category (absent, misplaced, correct). User is also given 8 tries and an interactive keyboard.
FER Music Recommender
Apr 2021 - Sep 2021
An app that takes a picture of a person's face, classifies their emotion, and then recommends them a song based on their mood. Uses vgg16 for expression recognition and LSTMs for music classification.
Betting DApp
Nov 2021 - Feb 2022
A decentralized app on the Ethereum blockchain that allowed users to bet ETH on sporting events. Contracts built with Solidity and deployed on Rinkeby Test Network.
