Wikipedia Clone
Python/HTML/CSS/JavaScript
Using Python Flask for the framework, the Wikipedia clone project allows users to create an account and
log in, create and edit pages, and navigate pages through the navbar, which autopopulates with newly
added pages. When a user creates a page, they can link other pages and use basic HTML functions such as
bolding and italicising using special pre-defined symbols. These symbols are parsed through after the user
publishes the page, and they are translated to HTML. This is to prevent the user from using pure HTML and
being able to inject harmful HTML into the website.
Balanced Binary Search Tree Dictionary
Java
The balanced binary search tree dictionary reads from a text file a list of
reptiles and their features, and stores them in a dictionary using a balanced
binary search tree implementation. When the user searches for a reptile, it
performs a search using the binary search tree to return the result in O(log n)
time. In addition to the search feature, the user can delete a node from the
tree, which will cause the tree to rebalance to maintain its O(log n) time
complexity.
Tuition Validation
Python/C++Written in C++ and later rewritten in Python, this program automated the tuition
validation process for over 42,000
students and over half a billion dollars at the University of North Texas for the
Student Accounting office.
It reads in student data, and using settings files,
it determines how much each student should be receiving for a charge, if any. One
settings file lists the restrictions for each charge using pseudocode to determine
the conditions to receive it, and a second settings file lists the restrictions for
each amount and how much per credit hour the amount costs as well as its cap. The
original version was written in C++, but all of the settings were hardcoded. It was
rewritten in Python to clean up the code and practice the language.
For my work on this project, I received the Outstanding Student Employee of the Year
award in 2022 from UNT.
Payment Plan Estimator
PythonI wrote a program in Python to estimate the division of a student's total tuition & fees for the
semester across three installments with three different payment plan options: Short Term Loan,
Installment Plan, and Installment Plan STB (with no down payment). This program has a functioning
GUI to make it easier for the employees at Student Accounting to use. The GUI was built using
PySimpleGUI.
It reads in the student's total due charges and their anticipated aid
(financial aid that has yet to disperse), reads in which payment plan the user would like to
make an estimate for, subtracts the down payment (if any), and divides the remaining charges
across the three payment deadlines. The anticipated aid is subtracted starting with the first
installment and rolls over to other installments, as it doesn't evenly divide amongst the
installments.
Previous to this program, there was not an accurate way to estimate
how installments would be broken up with anticipated aid for the Student Accounting office at
UNT. Despite the simplicity of the program, it was used very often for students until we switched
to a different payment plan method.
Regular Expression Validation Bot
JavaScript
For my clubs' communication channels, I coded a bot to handle the
verification of users. The bot uses a regular expression to validate that the user's
username is appropriate and contains their first and last name. If it matches, the bot
verifies the user. Otherwise, it messages the user stating why their username did not
match the expected format.
