About

Born in California, raised in Utah, and schooling in Georgia at Emory University (class of 2020!), my life is a climate-diverse coast-to-coast game of ping pong, bouncing between populated cities to suburban deserts to rural farm country. In the fall, I'll be studying in Berlin, expanding my multi-state travels to multi-continent (not to mention the international networking I'll get done.)

As varied as my geographical background comes my hobbies and interests. I've played the trombone for 8 years, produced for a professional band, and most recently I've picked up salsa dancing! I love to learn new things and can often be found listening to podcasts or learning new tricks about my favorite video games!

In addition to my collection of interests and tales of road trips, I write code. I like to tinker around to figure out what I like doing best, whether it be building a miniature game show during my free time at the hardware booth of a hackathon or conjuring up a flying cloud of Bitcoin transactions. Websites and related services can be inquired below!

Bitcoin Transaction Ticker

Self

Utilizing the Blockchain.info WebSocket, this ticker is a real-time data visualization of unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions. Text size is determined by each transactions value passed through a logarithmic function (with pretty colors added just for fun!) Switch between BTC and USD and enjoy the show.

Emory Course Evaluation System

CS377 Final Project

An online solution to Emory University's current paper-only end-of-semester Course Evaluation system. If fully implemented, over 100,000 sheets of paper waste could be avoided every year. Built on the LAMP stack.

GuessMe

HackEmory V

Built in the wee hours of the morning, behind the desk of the MLH hardware booth at HackEmory V, GuessMe was created. A simple game of probability, its creation served the purpose of learning how the Arduino Base shield operates, as well as a fair amount of tinkering with the buzzer module (ever heard the Star Spangled Banner played by a robot?)

C++, Arduino Uno

March Madness Bracket Generator

HackEmory (Club)

This project works by scraping historical data from March Madness games in the past, and calculates the observed probability that a given team will win against another, using their seed ranking. Using these calculations, we generate random bracket outcomes, allowing inexperienced players to make reasonable brackets.

Hands-Free Snake

HackGT 4

"Use your head!" takes on a whole new meaning with this hands-free solution to playing snake. Using EEG and accelerometer data from the Muse Headband, this Java-esque game allows you to immerse yourself in the snake experience, jerking your head left or right to change direction, or raising your eyebrows to reset the game. (Gameplay: 4/10, Comedic Value: 9/10, Neck Pain: 10/10)
