Hello, I'm Tyler!
|
I was born and raised in Kentucky, USA, where I decided to persue a Bachelor's in Computer Science with a minor in Neuroscience.
My biggest interests are Human-computer Interaction, UI/UX
design, Artificial Intelligence, and health informatics.
I'm passionate about developing projects that have a real-world contribution, no matter how big or
small. I have tried to chase this passion through research work, tutoring, and other personal
projects, all playing their own part in growing my knowledge.
In addition, please feel free to read my blog section where I occasionally post about my research work, personal projects, and other stories from my professional life.
Projects
Browser-Based Mars Rendering
3-D rendering of Mars, using real NASA topograhical data that ran efficiently across multiple
system tests.
A highlight was implementing a custom geometry algorithm that utilized the pixel
intensities of a Mars heightmap image to create the custom sphere mesh.
Options, Please
May I present the 2025 NKU-Fidelity Hackathon's winner: Options, Please. Mine and over a
dozen teams were tasked with designing an educational options trading platform.
Our submission was highlighted for its game design and potential to keep a wide demographic of
users engaged.
Demo Database Engine
This demo database engine was a side project I made after a motivating discussion with my databases professor. It seeks to provide basic SQL table creation and querying. Although most features of a real DB engine are unimplemented, it was very insightful in growing a deeper understanding of SQL.
Publications
A Blink Detection Algorithm for Eye-Tracking Applications Based on Facial Geometry
This paper presents three real-time blink detection algorithms for interpreting MediaPipe facial landmark data. Involved a lot of data analysis scripting, extracting useful data out of raw numbers.
Using Eye-Tracking and Data Visualization to Enhance the Study of Medieval Manuscripts
This paper presents the findings of an eye gaze tracking study where subjects viewed medeival manuscripts. Involved data analysis and visualization, generating heatmaps and statistical analyses.
