Availability
Currently I'm pretty busy with school & working on a grant supported research project so I'm not typically available during a semester but on summers I'm open to opportunities.
Currently Working On
Well during my fall semester I will be working on an AI related research project at FAU which I got a grant for through their OURI program alongside continuing to improve the AEV Solar Cybersedan.
Tech Stack
My favorite tech stack this past year for web development has brought me pretty far in the creation process. On the frontend I typically enjoy a mixture of the Nuxtjs metaframework and TailwindCSS since together, they're quite easy to build a stylish but capable full-stack app with. For the backend I like using typescript with tools like Appwrite and ExpressJS to whip up very capable features. Then I almost always self host all of my projects on my rack server based infrastructure/homelab which I spent countless hours assembling (more details coming soon in blog & homelab bento :D)
Learning Plans
I've found myself to be a pretty quick learner especially in the field of computer science and there's still a boat load of technology I haven't been able to mess with on a lower level, especially when it comes to coding a backend from the ground up. Because of this, I plan to learn both MariaDB & MongoDB and implement them into separate projects to properly understand them. Then I'll work my way up the abstraction ladder until I reach things like DB ORMs and more complex topics. Alongside learning databases, I want to learn proper authentication & security practices as well as some other core backend concepts. Focussing on a more vague topic though, I would also like to figure out how to use and train AI properly with tools like pytorch and tensorflow... Maybe I'll do an OpenCV project for that :D
