    MyShell

    Written in C

    MyShell was written during Spring 2024 where I took the class Systems Programming. It is a custom shell designed to interact with the operating system using a command line interface. MyShell has built-in commands and has the ability to execute external system commands.

    Spelling Checker

    Written in C

    Spelling Checker was written during Spring 2024 where I took the class Systems Programming. The spelling checker, uses an array to store words in a library and then does binary search to check the library.

    MyMalloc

    Written in C

    MyMalloc was written during Spring 2024 where I took the class Systems Programming. The program is a custom version of 'malloc' and 'free' and manages memory. It uses a structure 'metadata' to track each blocks size and contains its allocation status (0 or 1).

    Fast Trajectory Replanning

    Written in Python

    Fast Trajectory Replanning was written during Spring 2024 where I took the class Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. The program contains A* based algorithms (including repeated forward A*, repeated backwards A*, and adaptive A*) for maze solving and the program features maze generation using Depth-First Search and visualization methods for pathfinding results.

    Face and Digit Classification

    Written in Python

    Face and Digit Classification was written during Spring 2024 where I took the class Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. We made a neural network and perceptron for training and classification tasks using digit and face datasets.

    Database Manager: CLI

    Written in C

    Database Manager was written during Fall 2023 where I took the class Computer Architecture. The program manages records for programming languages, operating systems, and databases through an interactive command-line interface allowing for setup, insertion, deletion, modification, and retrieval of records.
