SoyKB

Soybean Knowledge Base (SoyKB)
SoyKB is a project of the University of Missouri Digital Biology Lab and serves as a web resource for transational soybean genomics. My research work includes the development of:

  • Chromosome visualization tools
  • Dynamic graphs for experimental analysis
  • Genomic pathway visualization
  • Heat maps and hierarchical clustering

GeoSpace (Coming soon)
A location-based social network which provides features for background location tracking, historical location data, and customizable notifications.



MizzouSpot

MizzouSpot
The University of Missouri registrar offers a spreadsheet collection of raw grade data for Mizzou's courses over the past decade. However, this data source is not very well known or used due to its raw format. I extracted this data and developed an easy-to-use search engine as well as a number of graphs to make interpreting this infomation easier for students. MizzouSpot offers the following analytical features for courses:

  • Percentage of A's, B's, C's, D's, and F's awarded each semester
  • Average GPA for each semester
  • Side-by-side instructor GPA comparison
  • Instructor GPA history over time
  • Course enrollment over time

GeoTracker

GeoTracker
GeoTracker is a simple geolocation tracking application I developed for my final project in CS 2830: Introduction to the Internet, WWW and Multimedia Systems. You can use GeoTracker to:

  • Track your location via your smartphone's GPS.
  • View your location history with color-coded path lines on a map.
  • Scroll through individual time points for when location data was captured.
  • Share your location history with other users or keep it private.

Oracle DBMS

Oracle DBMS lite
Oracle DBMS lite is an open source database management system I created as a personal project which integrades with Oracle on the Babbage server. This tool is used by students in CS 3380: Database Applications and Information Systems to get an overview of their tables and provide quick access to common queries and functionality in Oracle (such as viewing all sequences and triggers).

An additional benefit provided by this tool is its advanced error checking system, which pre-parses queries and displays individual error messages prior to full execution. This allows users to more efficiently run multiple queries without worrying about syntax errors occurring midway through a sequence:
