Game Dev. Portfolio
Currently taking a Game Dev. course this semester. It’s very fun and very exhilarating.

Fun with telnet
As computer science students, we always strive to find new ways to see things and do things while having a bit of fun along the way. So, if you’re a Star Wars fan like me, the next time you find yourself rewatching Star Wars, why not try an ascii version.
If you simply type
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nlat your terminal, you should be able to watch the full ascii version of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. Pretty neat eh?
p.s. This is a pretty old telnet gag. I learned this from my web systems professor (honestly hands down one of the best professors I’ve ever had).

Flight Predictor
During one of my machine learning lecutures a few weeks ago, we were talking about decision trees. My professor was trying to explain the concept of entropy and information gain by illustrating an example of predicting whether flights will be canceled based on certain features (wind, temperature, …etc.).

Puppeteer or the puppet?
During my internship, I was tasked with creating a tool that automatically screenshots relevant ads on specific web pages. This tool will be mostly used by project or product managers. My project manager informed me that there is an existing version of this tool written by a former employee. However, there were some downsides to the version he had written. To begin with, he wrote it in JavaScript and required the project or product managers, some of whom are not very savvy with coding, to edit the code each time they want to run it on a different web page and then run it in a terminal. Then, the first version also appended each screenshot to each other (for some reason) instead of saving it as a separate file, making it really hard to identify individual screenshots. From here, I set out to create the tool that fixes these flaws and essentially making it easier for the project and product managers to use.

Python Selenium Implicit Wait
I am learning Python’s unittest module in combination with Selenium to write an autotesting framework for a webpage at my internship. During the past few days, I wrote more than a dozen tests. Though it was solid progress, the sluggish runtime has driven me mad. After spending hours writing and rewriting my code to see what kind of god forbidden bug is butchering my runtime, my efforts was to no avail. So, I’ve decided to turn to the Selenium documentation.

Hello World!
This will officially mark the nth time I’ve written the phrase “Hello World”.
