About MeCurrent Work & Articles
IP and Geolocation Data
July 2023: Discover your IP address and Geolocation Data. Make sure you have this site marked as trusted and tracking enabled. Built with Vue3, TypeScript, techniknews api, and ipify
Looksmax
July 2023: A Python/Flask Web App that leverages DeepFace and other machine learning models to rate a person's looks on a scale from 1-10. It was a lot of fun to make! My wife scores 10/10 every time. You can access the repo here. I had a very difficult time finding a way to host this site for free, so I just made a video demonstration for you.
Not Clean Simple Eats
June 2023: A Shopify website I created in preparation for an interview. I created a video run through of the site so that I don't have to pay to host the site on Shopify.
Filter and Sort Multi-Word Strings by Relevance Using Jaro Similarity
June 2023 Article: Filtering and sorting multi-word strings for relevance in a way that overcomes typos and size-sensitivity
OARE - Old Assyrian Research Environment (BYU)
Oct 2021 - May 2023: I worked for BYU-OARE for a year and a half. I didn't do anything with Old Assyrian, I just helped build the website. Built with Node.js, Vue.js, TypeScript, AWS, MySQL, Knex.js
Master's Capstone - Translucent Health
Jan - Mar 2023: This is my group's capstone project. It's a website that helps you know how much you'll pay before you go to the doctor for imaging or elective procedures. It was orignallly built with Node.js, React.js, AWS, PostgreSQL. To be able to host it for free on GitHub Pages, I converted it to a frontend only React app that calls a public read-only REST API I created for this purpose.
Using GPT-3.5-turbo API to Generate Human Readable Medical Procedure Names and Description
May 2023 Article: In our capstone project, we tackled the challenge of making healthcare pricing data more accessible to the public. The cryptic nature of medical procedure names posed a significant hurdle. But with the help of fellow BYU MISM students and ChatGPT, we found a solution. Using the gpt-3.5-turbo API, we automated the process of generating human-readable names and descriptions for complex medical procedures. The results were promising, as ChatGPT proved adept at transforming unintelligible names into layman-friendly terms. To whomever suggested we use ChatGPT to solve this problem: thank you! You can see the repository here.
Web Development
WINTEX - Fag El Gamous Project
2021: This is a git repository of a huge group project three teammates and I worked on. It's based in ASP.Net C# MVC Core. It has a fully functional database and tons of functionality. I'm working on getting a video of the runthrough we did.
CloudFormation Template
2021: This is a git repository of an AWS CloudFormation Template. The template will spin up a VPC, subnet, and 3 EC2 instances. The template will automatically install apache on each webserver while starting up. An index.html file is also automatically created that looks something like this.
Justis' Bookstore
2021: This is a git repository of a ASP.Net C# MVC Core application modeling a bookstore. The applicaton includes a fully functional database with a cart, pagination, etc. This is just a really nice MVC core web app.
Black Cyber Recruiter (Not Available)
2020: This was a competitive group project that was meant to help bridge the unemployment gap between Americans who happen to be white and Americans who happen to be black. It was built using the Python Django framework and includes recommender algorithms that match applicants with companies and companies with applicants. It includes frontend, backend, and database capabilities. The site also has a secure admin page. This was built entirely in 5 days.
10X Legal Tech (Not Available)
2020: This website was created as a way for 10X LegalTech (a startup) to have CRUD capabilities for customers and invoices to those customers. It was just a hypothetical project and 10X Legal Tech is not actually using this web application. It was built using the Python Django framework and has complete frontend and backend capabilitiess. The site also has a secure admin page.
Trash Dash AZ
2020: This is a static site I made for my brother's trash removal business. It has multiple pages and is pretty simple, but good-looking.
Se Llama Peru
2021: This is a mock static website I made for a local company called Se Llama Peru. It's simple but clean.
WCC Basketball
2020: A simple simulation of a WCC conference basketball season. You can see who ended up being the conference champion and the scores from every game. Hopefully BYU wins lol. It's built entirely with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Nothin fancy, but there's a lot of logic going on in the background.
Yahtzee
2020: A really simple version of Yahtzee using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. Lots of big brain logic going on behind the scenes. Not much else to say about it. Also, don't sue me for using papyrus.
JSON Data
2020: In this project, I asynchronously query a bunch of titles from a rest API and display either the completed or uncompleted titles. Uncompleted titles can be marked as completed and then be displayed with the completed titles. Written using JavaScript.
ISMAREED
2020: The unofficial BYU Information Systems Dating Site lol. It's that silly game where you pick a phrase and then enter your name and your crush's name to see how "compatible" you are. I used JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to build this. Not Mobile Friendly
Guess That Song
2020: Basically, it's hangman but with songs. You can play multiple games and keep track of your scores. You can also play as different users and compare scores. Also written in JavaScript. There's some really big brain logic behind the scenes in this project. Not Mobile Friendly
Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Security
Old Assyrian Language Model
2023: This is a git repository for a language model I built using TensorFlow and Keras with data from BYU's Old Assyrian Research Environment database. It works moderately well
Patent Analytics - R-Shiny
2023: This is a git repository for an R-Shiny dashboard I collaborated on. It allows users to see the companies which have filed for the most patents with a given cpc code. A user can also see the areas where the most patents have been filed for a given cpc code.

Digital Forensics Final Presentation
2022: For our Digital Forensics final, we had to protect a server from an automated attack while keeping our services up. Afterwards, we had to analyze what the attacker had done. This is the presentation a classmate and I created to explain what we found.
Penetration Test - Midterm Machine
2021: This is a report of a penetration test I and three teammates worked on. The midterm machine is very similar to metasploitable 2.
