Work samples

I am compiling coursework and small projects that show my programming practice, problem solving, and growing familiarity with CS tools and concepts.

  • Vehicle Crash Risk Prediction
    Vehicle Crash Risk Prediction

    Built a machine learning pipeline using NHTSA’s FARS 2024 national crash dataset to predict crash injury severity and generate continuous 0–100 insurance risk scores Trained a RandomForestClassifier with class-weight balancing to address class imbalance, using predict proba() outputs to drive a premium-multiplier scoring function Structured the project into modular components (preprocessing, training, prediction) and resolved dtype/environment issues in a Jupyter/VS Code workflow

    Real-Time Color-Detection Aim Assistant

    Built a real-time computer-vision tool that continuously scans the screen for target colors and automates cursor movement and clicks, built to compensate for imprecise aim without a physical mouse Iterated past single-color detection after discovering it broke on varying in-game character skins, adding detection logic to disambiguate targets using more than color alone Diagnosed latency in the real-time screen-capture loop as the main performance bottleneck under continuous operation
