Recent graduate (BS in CS) and dropout (MCS) from UIUC.

Side projects

Most of my hobbies include things like cooking, running, backpacking, going outside, touching grass, etc. The idea of grinding side projects or Leetcode constantly makes me want to tear my hair out, and I'd rather be a wElL rOUndEd PeRsoN. With that said, I have a few side projects I'm working on occasionally, namely:

ScheduleStuffer: Tool for UIUC students to visualize courses in Calendar setting to help choose classes with fit in their schedule
Foreground Extraction: Image Foreground object extraction with various methods
BotMacklin: Discord Shitposting Bot
Oort Cloud: LAN based cloud file storage

mattrix

This is a Matrix calculator that can handle basic arithmetic operations, along with some other functionality like equation solving, with more features to come in the future. It uses a command line input style to parse through an expression string to either simplify an expression or complete some other operation as given above. It can also suppose regular scalar math in the same way it computes matrix operations.
