Developed an application to generate the front page of a newspaper from the future, based on user inputs (future date, state of humanity, a new superpower). Integrated the OpenAI API to dynamically generate front-page content tailored to user inputs. Utilized Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for web development, ensuring a visually engaging user interface.Github Repo: https://github.com/jtrichWM/futureGazette

Currently working with a team to design and implement autonomous navigational capabilities for a quadcopter with limited onboard computing resources. My role is to develop the algorithm that the drone will use to navigate from point A to point B without hitting anything. The algorithm relies on the drone’s front-facing camera and utilizes visual odometry (VO) and feature-tracking methods to avoid collision, without help from another computer or operator. Working alongside two fellow undergraduates, under the guidance of a lead professor.

Actively contributing to the development of a visualization tool (ASTViz/ASTXplainer) aimed at assisting developers in understanding how an LLM makes code predictions. The tool allows developers to input source code and export the code as an Abstract Syntax Tree, along with each tokens prediction probability, for manual analysis. I am utilizing JavaScript, Python, HTML, CSS, and React, along with the Flask and Tree-Sitter libraries. I am collaborating closely with a team of 5 undergraduates, under the guidance of 2 graduate students and a lead professor. The tool supports C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and Rust.

Developed an application that assists college students in posting and RSVPing to events on campus. The application allows users to create an account, create, browse, and follow event postings, and friend other users from their school.To build the app, we used Python and Flask to handle the website's hosting, and JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to create and structure the app's 18 different web pages. We also utilized an SQLite database to store event listings and user information.
