Go Neural Network

Implemented an artificial neural network for classification problems in Go. The model takes as input a csv file of data representing a large number of examples and their corresponding features and outputs the most likely class for each example. The user can the number of nodes in the hidden layer, as well as activation function, epochs, and learning rate. The model also has a parallel programming implementation to speed up the training time.

Asteroids video game in Java

Developed an asteroids video game in Java. The game uses the runnable interface and the swing class to make a frame for the game to run. The visuals are drawn with vector graphics and drawn off screen before rendered completely on the screen. Sprites are used for asteroids, the ship, debris, and other visuals. Every other level in the game is a maze for which the ship has to escape. Sounds are also implemented using the sounds class.

PostgreSQL Database Web Application

A python script that utilizes bottle and pyscopg2 connects to the postgreSQL server and creates a simple web app to read and write some of the data. The web app has functionality including searching, inserting/updating/deleting records, and viewing and inserting related records. The web app was made using HTML and a bootstrap framework.
