Projects

Document Classifier

University of Texas at Arlington(UTA) Senior Design

Built on a python, MySQL, and Nginx tech stack, groundbreaking innovation focused on classification of documents. A continuation project of the previous Senior Design team's IdentiDoc application pivots into more robust classification and recognition of documents. The document classifier is expanded from only 2 documents to a full scope of document recognition and classification of forms that may be required to vote. Hosted securely in the cloud, the document classifier is able to walk a registered citizen through retrieving any documentation required to vote, such as photographic ID, including ancillary services such as signature recognition and matching.

Interests

As a break from the day-to-day, I enjoy playing games both on a table and computer. Other than that, my time is split between working on and modifying my car, playing the drums, or pretending to be an iron chef; however, time is always carved out for continuing development on personal projects or learning about the latest and greatest in the tech world!
