I built an application that uses the Google Hangouts API to sync the playback of a video for all people in the video call. We used the Dropbox API as a way for the user to upload a video, and wrote the application entirely in JavaScript. This won second place at Hackjam 2014, Berkeley’s local hackathon.

I built a text based Markov model, and I used it to create a web application that generates quotations in the style of a certain author. I wrote everything in Python, using Flask as my web framework, and I used Project Gutenberg’s API as sample text to train my Markov Bot for each author. Right now, I’m working on extending my Markov model’s functionality into procedural music generation.

With a friend, I made a website that would scrape Cal Dining’s online menu each day, and then give the user suggestions according to preferences they’ve selected. We used beautifulsoup to parse the HTML, Django to build the website, a cronjob that schedules the menu scrape at 5 am each day, and Bootstrap for the front end.

With a friend, I built a Google Chrome extension that performs basic steganography by imperceptibly altering the RGB values of each pixel of an image by fixed amounts, and using these to encode messages into images and decode them. We wrote the algorithm in Go, the server in Python (Flask), and the extension in JavaScript.
