Projects
West Bloomfield Poem Collector
Affiliated with West Bloomfield High School
This is an open source project I created that allows anyone to share their poems and personal creative content with their community, using a website portal and a thermal printer! The project was made in vanilla Javascript, CSS, and PHP for maximum compatibility and portability. MySQL was chosen as the database and handles structures like storing poems, storing moderator details, and storing complaint tickets.
Built Using: HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, MySQL, Python, Bash
SKANDIT
Affiliated with West Bloomfield High School
This was a HOSA medical innovation project I worked on to help recognize the early stages of melanoma through a mobile app in order to help catch the disease before it can cause more damage. I designed the AI algorithms and mobile app for the project.
Built Using: Python, PyTorch, Electron.js, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Emscripten, Web Assembly
Better Call Cell (Better Classification of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells)
Affiliated with West Bloomfield High School
This was another HOSA medical innovation project I worked on to tackle the issue of reducing the cost of detecting/diagnosing certain blood diseases/cancers. The project specialized on ALL (acute lymphocytic leukemia specifically) and utilized several machine learning and hardcoded algorithms to detect lymphoblasts in blood imagery — an indicator for ALL. The machine learning algorithms were coded in Python using the PyTorch library and eventually ported to C++ to be compiled to Web Assembly using Emscripten. Our AI achieved state of the art performance compared to other existing algorithms.
Built Using: Electron.js, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, PyTorch, C++, Emscripten, Web Assembly
