The focus of this research project is to learn about parallelism via CUDA and OpenGL, which are common tools for achieving parallelism by delegating/ dividing tasks to CPU cores. My team of three decided to parallelize a prior team's particle simulator with various new algorithms (spatial mapping, quadtree, and parsing the X-axis) in order to find the optimal approach. I have implemented a quadtree structure that has boosted the performance of the particle simulator when run serially but will require modifications to run in parallel. Overall, I have furthered my knowledge of the unique benefits of these data structures and parallelism while enjoying a unique challenge!

My goal for this project is to create an interactive, appealing movie review website via HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. At the bottom of this home page are several links to pages for bookmarking films to watch, viewing external movie review websites, viewing current popular movies, and creating/ viewing movie reviews. This project also utilizes APIs to request the top 100 movies from the Movie Database API and streaming services available in a given country.

This project was one of my favorites because us students had complete freedom with minimal supervision. As a team of five, we created an autonomous drone delivery service based at JMU for six-packs. We each had our separate roles, mine being creating an ID and facial recognition program, but we all worked together to plan, budget, and test each drone design.

Creating a custom spreadsheet was a solo coding project written in Ruby to create an interactive spreadsheet for custom data types. This project taught me a lot about Ruby as I started working with primitive values and finished with building a lexer and a parser that can process data cells and add them to the spreadsheet. This class was focused on learning programming languages and their unique specialties, and it gave me a new sense of how to efficiently write code.

As I learned about networking, I developed a simplified DHCP protocol program in C to showcase my knowledge of client-server interactions with a classmate. This was a difficult project because this was my first time writing a program that actively communicates with a separate server, but I learned a lot about network protocols and how to process IP addresses. This class also introduced me to parallelism, and we specifically applied the use of pipes in this and other projects to direct the flow of programs.
