Projects

Shuffler for Spotify

Spotify's Shuffle uses advanced algorithims to play the same songs again and again. Shuffler for Spotify creates a copy of a playlist with a randomized order, that you play with shuffle off for a truly shuffled experience.

Online Bidding Problem

Created an algorithm to directly solve the linear programming formulation of the Online Bidding problem. Algorithm worked empirically, but ran out of time to prove correctness. More details at the linked presentation!

USYD Hackathon 2nd place

Made QR Tones, an app that encodes text to audio wave-forms, similar to QR Codes but for sound. When text is provided, the app will convert it into a tune that encodes the data that is to be transmitted. Any other device listening can decode the data and receive the text that is being transmitted. Created a somewhat working prototype.

Droid Racing Competition

As part of the USYD robotics club, entered a computer-controlled RC car into the Droid Racing Competition as part of a team. While we didn't win, our car did complete a loop around the track!
