RoomEcho Analyzer / GitHub / COP2080 (Python Project)
September 2024 – December 2024

• Developed a Python-based acoustic modeling tool using LibROSA, SciPy, and Matplotlib to analyze reverberation times (RT60) for different frequency bands.

Seattle Precipitation Forecasting / GitHub / CAP 4612 (Machine Learning Project)
January 2025 – April 2025

• Built a time series forecasting pipeline using SARIMA, ARIMA, and LSTM models to predict monthly precipitation in Seattle.
• Handled data preprocessing (missing values, resampling, scaling), performed ADF testing, and engineered model-specific pipelines.
• Compared model performance using MAE and RMSE.

PaceTracker / Personal
January 2025 – Present

• C++ program that tracks running performance over a week. It allows users to log running data (distance, time) and calculates total distance, average pace, and best day based on pace.
• Program saves the results into a CSV file, logging data across multiple weeks for tracking progress over time.
• Future plans include adding more advanced statistics, improving user input handling, and implementing a UI.
