Matrix row operation game

[github page] [github repo]
A game based on solving matrices using the Gauss-Jordan elimination method I have written back in 2018 (grade 12).

Neural network from scratch in Java

[github repo]
Multilayer preceptron network with mutliple customizable activation functions, custom layer/neuron amount, and full backpropagation training functionalities written completely from scratch in Java without using any external libraries.

Automated Tumor Detection in CT Scans of Lungs Using Machine Learning

NSERC USRA Research project in summer 2020 supervised by Prof. Suprakash Datta of York University.

Air RAID

[github page]
A proof of concept game built with 2 friends during BeCoder 2020, a 3 day hackathon meant to demonstrate Redundant Array of Identical Drive (RAID) using a metaphorical game of military supply production.

2Pi board

[live site][github repo]
A simple message board similar to 4chan made with a Golang and postgreSQL backend. Fully open source and a basic setup instructions available in the github repo.

My artworks

I create my digital art pieces using a Wacom Intuos medium drawing tablet and Krita. My style started out inspired by cartoon and video game artwork from my childhood and ended up heavily influenced by 2010's mainstream anime, and gradually developed into a smooth-lined style with minimized feature.
