Projects
Here’s a small collection of personal projects I’ve built over the years, each highlighting my ability to learn quickly across various domains,
along with hands-on experience in full-stack development, product thinking, and user-centered design.
LocationLens.app
I designed and developed a web app to support location search and comparison, building the backend with Node.js and Express with several integrated Google Maps APIs.
The app includes additional configuration to improve search accuracy with filtering, ranking, and an interactive map view. Additionally, I built technical performance and user metrics which are stored in MongoDB for analysis.
I designed and developed this entire webapp
Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis
As a team of three, we designed and developed a laser-based nanoparticle tracking system using an optical setup with a custom lens configuration that focused light sheets. The system captured particle motion via a camera and analyzed it using machine learning algorithms for precise size measurements and characterization.
We optimized the signal quality, achieving sub-1% error rates, while developing the device at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems. This project deepened my expertise in optical systems, image capture, and algorithm-driven analysis.
We measured signal performance using a variety of lens configurations to determine the most accurate design. We leveraged both open source algorithms and wrote our own in order to track nanoparticles over time and therefore characterize them. We also had to use a standard microscope camera as part of our optical system.
