Python Ray Tracing Program:

Description: Group worked on a python program using PyQt6, NumPy, and Matplotlib that emulates light interacting with objects in 3D. The program let you chose a simple 2D shape such as a square, a circle, and different kinds of triangles. You could alter the position and the dimensions of these 2d shapes. Users could also use 2d PNG images as a shapes. The 3D scene had a light source that would reflect off the shapes creating a more realistic and immersive lighting effect.

Hydroponics Garden:

Description: Group project designing a hydroponics garden. I developed a sensor system in MATLAB which recorded the temperature of the water using a thermistor and image analysis techniques to read a PH strip that was dipped in the water with a servo motor. Using primitive machine vision a camera would take a picture of the PH strip then grayscale the image and crop just the part of the PH strip that changes color. Then calculates the average of the RGB values of every pixel on the image of the PH strip. Based on the ratio of those values it determines the PH level of the water. 

Symphonic Shuffler:

Description: The functionality was a React SPA front-end that let's users interact with song data received from a back end. The song data contains the song name, artist, album, year it released, and song length. The front-end let's you create and delete playlists with the song data and uploads it to the back end where it is stored. The main goal was to make the page nice looking and easy to use. Using HTML, CSS, and Semantic UI components to create a webpage design inspired by Spotify with dark colors and soft edges.
