Projects
Oracle for Stable Matching ​ Javascript
- Designed tests for a stable matching algorithm that optimizes matches between companies and
candidates.
- Tested if matches were stable by comparing preferences between companies and candidates, as well as
properties of the generated random number arrays.
Image Manipulation ​Javascript
- Created and tested custom higher order functions such as map, filter, and reduce for image manipulation.
- Utilized functions to implement blurring, edge highlighting, color saturation, and effect composition.
Fractals and Linked LargeInteger​ ​Java
- Used recursion to draw fractals such as Koch Curves, Trees, Sierpinski Triangles, and Sierpinski
Carpets
- Implemented large integers and addition and multiplication methods using linked lists
Guessing Game ​ ​Java
- Designed a program to guess the user’s number based on the number of matches between the user’s
number and the guess.
- Implemented the game using linked lists and arrays.
