aerosai.com

Project Type: Website

Last updated: 3/7/24

In 2019, inspired by advances in generative AI and machine learning, I launched Aeros AI to explore practical industry applications in various sectors including Finance, Healthcare, and Animation. Recognizing the importance of an online presence, we developed a website to showcase our products as we neared our Series A funding.

Prioritizing simplicity, I chose Svelte with SkeletonUI for its clean design capabilities. However, to avoid complexity, I streamlined the process with a custom template that simplifies website creation and deployment to a few hours, ideal for content-rich projects with minimal backend needs. This template, intended for future use in portfolios and blogs, will eventually be open-sourced.

For deployment, I utilized STT.dev's Seed serverless platform for its ease and AWS integration. After comparing several hosting services, AWS emerged as the superior choice for its reliability, affordability (about $16 per year, including all fees), and hassle-free experience, solidifying our online infrastructure without complications.

aerosai.com is currently offline while we evaluate our first batch of investment inquiries. It will return with our latest product updates and new inquiry instructions soon, stay tuned!

parkerfoord.com

Project Type: Website

Last updated: 3/5/24

My personal website was in need of a major overhaul. I decided to scrap the old site completely and move away from ASP.net as I already work with it every day. The result is the current site you are on, although it is very much a work in progress.

My long term plan for the site was for it to be a portal to manage my live servers: Plex, Radarr, Sonarr, Mining, Minecraft, WIP chat service, etc. However, I decided to move this to a seperate domain, which you can read about below.

konohaconnection

Project Type: Website

Last updated: 7/23/23

I registered a domain called konohaconnection and pointed it at my home server using cloudflare and the reverse proxy application Nginx. This allows me to access local server data securly through normal web addresses. I then setup portainer, plex, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, etc. using docker.

Once I purchase more drive space I will setup file hosting. Eventually I will also host a wordpress site.

ModFusion Article

Project Type: Research Article

Last updated: 7/19/23

While working in industry I observed the strengths and weaknesses of different agile methodologies, I have created a new software team philisophy similar to that of SCRUM or kanban. The result is a modern and innovative solution to increase software output and engineer happiness. In this new system I incorporate the study of philosophy and central processing innovations to create ModFusion, a management method that aims to combat the rise in overworked and unmotivated software engineers at a time when the development of software is desperately needed.

After discussing my ideas with trusted mentors, I am working to get a ModFusion article published.

Untitled Animated Series

Project Type: Story Writing

Last updated: 7/15/23

Since a young age I found myself interested in animation. Particularly, the ability to induce strong emotions within an audience using animated characters. Growing up with shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood left a lasting impact on my life. These shows were able to convey life lessons while providing a fun and engaging experience. I want to provide amazing experiences like this for others, especially the younger generation. It is for this reason that I am writing an animated series. The goal of this project is to one day work with a team to produce an animated series that rivals my childhood favorites. This project is very dissimilar to my others. It has nothing to do with software or my career, but it is something I am passionate about nonetheless.

Automatic File Organizer

Project Type: Desktop Application

Last updated: 7/11/22

As my computer storage has expanded from 2TB to 31TB, my files have become cluttered between drives and Windows search is often worthless. A program that automatically sorts files based on user defined parameters was born. When I get this project into a polished state I will release it as freeware. My hope is that others with a cluttered computer can better sort their files. The end goal for is to make this application a service that does file cleanup in the background, with possible server optimization features.

React Native Recipe App

Project Type: Mobile Application

Last updated: 7/9/22

During the pandemic, I started the new hobby of baking/cooking. I found a lack of helpful free intuitive recipe apps. After creating both bare react native and expo apps at work, I have started development on an easy to use, multiplatform expo app. This will allow me to further expand my knowledge of react native. Slow updates as my free time focus is on other projects.

As a group, we improved upon the popular game Wordle with new features and a cool vaporwave theme, all packed into a desktop app. These new features include: hard mode, different word lengths, a scoreboard, individual account creation, and a whole host of admin settings. This project was developed in Java.

AI Image Translation

Project Type: Research Project

Last updated: 4/11/22

The goal of this project is to create a program that could translate images containing text. For example, a user wants to read a French comic book that currently has no English translation.

This program will be able to:
1. Strip the text out of the image.
2. Translate the text
3. Produce new images with the translated English replacing the French.

After discussion with a few professors, we decided the right approach is to create a machine learning model to do batch translations.

This project is currently on hold pending authorization to utilize the on campus super computer, ROSIE, to train the model.
Project is under consideration for independent study.

Better Catan

Project Type: Web Application

Last updated: 11/29/21

After a strong desire to revisit the board game Catan, I searched for online variations. The online options were lackluster to say the least, limited to either https://colonist.io/ or Catan Universe. Both online renditions with their own problems, and out of this problem game the idea for an ASP.NET version of the game. This project was a great exercise in working with complex objects and refining my ASP.NET skills. I also began to use the Kanban method of task-keeping, which I have used for the majority of my projects since.

This project is on hold and no longer being hosted while undergoing legal research.

C# War

Project Type: Desktop Application

Last updated: 6/5/21

In order to refine my skills in C#, I created the game of war as a WindowsFormApp. I used the .NET Framework to simulate a single player game of war against a computer with a complete visual interface. This is a very basic project that I often play with to test new techniques, patterns, or styles.
