  • Color-via-Pattern: Distinguishing Colors of Confusion Without Affecting Perceived Brightness

    Proceedings of the 16th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers & accessibility

    This paper accompanied the poster that we presented at the 16th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Accessibility (ASSETS 2014). The paper abstract follows:

    "In this poster we describe pilot work on a new visualization technique, Color-via-Pattern (CvP), to help individuals with color deficiency distinguish between colors of confusion, as well as correctly determine relative perceived brightness among all colors. Existing assistive technologies tend to distort the hue and…

    This paper accompanied the poster that we presented at the 16th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Accessibility (ASSETS 2014). The paper abstract follows:

    "In this poster we describe pilot work on a new visualization technique, Color-via-Pattern (CvP), to help individuals with color deficiency distinguish between colors of confusion, as well as correctly determine relative perceived brightness among all colors. Existing assistive technologies tend to distort the hue and brightness of colors. CvP is designed to address this flaw while being just as effective. Human subject testing was performed to evaluate our approach."

  • Strawdrate

    Strawdate is a project aimed at keeping people healthy and hydrated. The core of the project revolves around a smart-straw, which measures fluid intake by a person. That straw then interfaces via Arduino/Bluetooth with a mobile application which not only keep track of drunk fluid, but also estimates lost fluid based on user-given metrics along with geolocation and atmospheric data. This takes into account everything from sex and weight to altitude and pregnancy. The application reminds the user…

This takes into account everything from sex and weight to altitude and pregnancy. The application reminds the user if they have not drunk enough fluid to stay hydrated, and, is even capable of notifying others if there is a serious problem.

  • Profit Maker 3000

    At MHacks Fall 2013 my team and I built an application that aimed to predict product sales using social media data. Using the Alchemy API to grab sentiment data and the Google Prediction API to make our decisions, the data we produced could be integrated with existing sales models to improve their accuracy.

Honors & Awards

  • Winner

    JPMorgan Chase Code for Good Challenge

    Myself as well as a few other students from Miami University and the Ohio State University competed together on a team to win the 2013 JPMorgan Chase Code for Good Challenge, Columbus, OH.

    For the competition we developed a native Android app for the Columbus-based Community Shelter Board. The app, meant to help volunteers enter and look-up data, leveraged ASP.net web services to connect with a SQL database.
