RFID Asset Tracking
Using UHF readers and custom designed disposable tags, this system tracks tagged packages within a pickup location for condo or commercial buildings at an extremely low unit cost. Packages delivered to the building are tagged with RFID stickers and placed in the holding room until collected by the resident. Logs are automatically created for every event including movement in and out of the drop zone to minimize liability of the building when theft occurs.
For this project I am using Python, HTML/Javascript, mySQL, MQTT, and other wireless protocols for communication. Eventually an AWS cloud database, and a motion activated camera system will be added to further increase the audit capabilities.
Artificial Intelligence
A game playing AI written in python to visually play Othello (reversi) against itself or a human using any of the available algorithms. For this project I implemented random, local maximum, mini-max, and mini-max with pruning algorithms for AI decision making. When run on a capable machine, this AI is difficult to beat.
GitHub (Private)Basic Web Development
A simple static web application to keep track of tournaments played at home. Built using basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript along with Bootstrap, It includes a schedule page, statistics, round-robin and two conference playoff format.
Game results are easily submitted through buttons on the schedule page, statistics and projected playoff brackets are updated each time a game result is entered.
This version does not include persistent data. However, I have created another similar web app which we use to keep track of head-to-head statistics and matchups for casual pool and ping-pong games within the family. This other tracker uses a node.js hosted web front-end, combined with a mySQL database with triggers and scheduled events to store persistent data.

Python Web Automation
PS5 Sniper
A set of scripts to automate checking inventory levels, hidden product attributes, and purchasing of desired products from Walmart or Bestbuy (Canada). Originally the project was purely request based; however, I had to adapt the process flow to avoid bot-detection.
GitHubScripting Challenge
Newspaper Jumble Solver
A quick script to unscramble word puzzles and solve mystery words. Instead of using a very inefficient exhaustive search, this implementation first filters out invalid words containing other letters before selecting the most probable solution.
