Projects

A few things I've built recently.

01

Syllabus Merger

Upload the syllabi from all your courses and get back one combined syllabus — every course's schedule and deadlines in a single place.

  • pytest
04

Weather Forecast API

An in-progress Django + JavaScript weather forecasting API that experiments with basic machine-learning techniques to improve prediction accuracy.

  • Django
