Projects
Structure Loss Generator (Singhofen and Associates, Inc)
Calculated the head loss at applicable GWIS nodes and exported to Excel. Implemented by:
> Using the Law of Cosines between pipes going into the node to find the angle
> Using FDOT Design Standards to test for dimension equivalency between pipes
> Using the angle and equivalency to find head loss according to FDOT Drainage Manual
Python SQL GIS

Cut Cross Sections (Singhofen and Associates, Inc)

Interpolated Cross Section with DEM Terrain. If a vector within the interpolation had over 500 points, reduced it to
<=500. Calculated station and elevation and exported to Excel. Implemented by:
> Using Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm to reduce points in a line
0, 𝑛𝑛 = 0
> Station Formula: �
�(𝑥𝑥𝑛𝑛 − 𝑥𝑥𝑛𝑛−1 ) + (𝑦𝑦𝑛𝑛 − 𝑦𝑦𝑛𝑛−1 ) + 𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑆𝑛𝑛−1 , 𝑜𝑜𝑜𝑜ℎ𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒𝑒
> Elevation: Z value
C# SQL
Critical Thinking Game for Psychology Data Collection (Game Research Lab at University of Central Florida)
To test if video games increased critical thinking abilities, we designed a Zebra Puzzle in the shape of a murder
mystery that tracked the user's performance. My responsibilities included:
> Creating the algorithms for the puzzle matrix, clue generation, and measuring how well a player performed
> Creating the MySQL Database, the Python Flask server, and the ability for the database and game to
communicate with each other via a REST API
Python C# SQL Flask REST API Unity
