About Me

I am a senior in the Applied and Computational Math Emphasis (ACME) at Brigham Young University. I love to use computer science and math to understand the world around me, make predictions, and solve problems. In my free time I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee and all kinds of board games.

I started my college education as an electrical engineer. While I enjoyed my classes, I started to learn more about the possibilities that math enables like machine learning and data analysis. I had a hard time letting go of my plans to become an engineer, but I get so excited learning about the power that math has to teach a computer to learn and help us understand the world better that I knew I needed to change directions.

ACME is a unique and intensive intersection of advanced mathematics, statistics, and computer science designed to prepare people to solve 21st century problems. As the foundation for modern technology, a deep understanding of mathematics has enabled me to develop skills for successful algorithm design, effective data analysis, and creating innovative solutions to modern challenges.

Projects

Math Bytes Blog

Have you ever wondered about the real-world applications of applied mathematics? Despite its vast potential, this discipline remains an enigma to most people. In an effort to demystify it and showcase its power, I've created a blog documenting my journey through the intricacies of math and computer science.
Whether you're a curious learner or an aspiring mathematician, my blog provides insights into the limitless possibilities of applied mathematics and I'd love for you to check it out!

Family Map App

The Family Map app provides a geographical view of your family history by plotting important events in your ancestors’ lives on a Google map.
This project uses a client/server architecture. The client is an Android app that lets a user view and interact with their family history data, and the server is a Java program that runs in the cloud. When users login, the client app retrieves the user’s family history data from the server, which maintains accounts and dispenses family history data.

Car Data Web Scraper

This project, affectionately named Casper, is a python program that uses selenium to gather used car sales data online from local retailers including AutoTrader, CarsDirect, CarGuru, Carvana, Lowbook, and KSL. As of the most recent update, Casper only searches for cars in the Provo, Utah area. After gathering data, Casper scores each car on how good of a deal the sale is and generates a CSV report of the current market in addition to the market history since November 2022 when I first began the project.

Virtual Assistant

The Language Interpretation and Learning Assistant (Lila) is a customized virtual assistant built to automate repetitive tasks through natural language commands. Lila is capable of providing information about the user's computer and relevant to their location, as well as interacting with files and folders on the computer. Lila can also use APIs and the internet to perform searches, answer questions, and interact with google apps.

Vehicle Analytics Dashboard

The Advanced Vehicle Analytics application (A.V.A.) for the 2023 BYU Formula E club is a dashboard that displays vehicle and driving data collected from an array of sensors that record everything from tire speed to steering wheel angle of an electric race car. In addition to providing advanced analytics and feedback, A.V.A. visualizes driving information in a format that makes it easy to understand and gain insight from the data.

Celebrity Lookalike

I built this program with Jeff Hansen and Benjamin McMullin over the course of 24 hours for the 2023 YHack competition where we won the award for Best AI. This project uses OpenCV to detect faces, compare them to a database of faces of celebrities we scraped from the internet, estimate your age and gender with OpenCV, and then tell a story about you and your celebrity twin uses GPT-3.
