Personal Url Shortener

Safe URLs are essential. Moreover, I need customized urls, hence I need a urlshortening service. Unfortunately my domain isn’t the shortest (wish I had twitter’s t.co) but it should still be useful for myself. Diagram: Wow asked CGPT to help me make the front-end for my url service thing and Bang it just went and did it. I now can make good stuff without being nasty with the frontend. Here it is running locally.

Quicknav

Purpose File navigation across large directory tree for media files lack a good workflow. Currently I use Apple’s Quicklook feature to glance at images and navigate with the arrow key. I want something that can loop through multiple directories within a “base” directory among other features such as randomly selecting a directory from the base directory, shuffling content within the current directory, and others.

One of the coolest classes taken at Northwestern. Mathematically a bit complicated compared to your typical CS class but it’s very interesting. Basically a primer to algorithmic game theory. Taken with Jason Hartline and worked with Phawin. Made me want to learn more math and more into AGT and online algorithms. Repo

Ildmv

Illinois DMV or I Love DMV? Trying to book an appointment online to get a driving test is so hard without going through an agency or going there in person. As a college student waking up at 7am is too hard to try to get an appointment as they get released online and I don’t have time to look at it throughout the day. That’s why we automate things! Introducing, ILDMV, a bot that scans for appointments at Chicago Northside DMV and automagically fills in the necessary info to make that appointment.

Crypto Strategies

Research and learning about ML + Crypto + Stocks. I learned that there is toooooo much to learn. Either tackle the software, math, or the ML. Currently tackling the Software, short term goal is to get very good with programming. Then I will dive into the mathematics and domain knowledge of finance. Biggest challenge during research was that I don’t have enough financial domain knowledge to help me verify what I was doing well in the ML steps and not enough ML intuition to tune.

Proscloset

I used to have a very cool server-less project utilizing AWS lambda and other tools to scrape, store, email about second hand bikes sold at the pros closet. I even emailed them to pitch this service to their customers. However, I never got a response. I did get my friends bikes from their store and I learned a lot from it. However, after purging my computer and github I did not save the files and configurations.
