Side Projects

Since I was around 11 or 12 years old I have been interested in programming and software development. The best way to learn a new programming language or technique is to do a few tutorials or build a side project with that language or technology. Over the years many I have built many side projects and most of them consisted of following tutorials. Listed below are the details for a few of the bigger and more interesting projects that I have completed.

MEIRLBOT

• Source Code: GitHub
• Description: The MEIRLBOT is a set of Java Spring Boot applications for the purpose of creating and displaying memes. The main reason for creating this project was to learn new technologies and build resumes.
• Technical Spec: Java Spring Boot Application
• Code Example:

Java Spring Boot ``` java @SpringBootApplication public class MemeExchangeApplication {

public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(MemeExchangeApplication.class, args); } } ```

• Source Code: GitHub
• Description: Nutriments is an iOS Application for simple and quick exercise and supplement tracking
• Technical Spec: iOS Application developed in Swift
• Code Example:

Swift swift func createDrive(managedContext: NSManagedObjectContext, quarter: String, time: String, yardLine: String) -> Bool{ let entityDrive = NSEntityDescription.entityForName("DriveEntity", inManagedObjectContext: managedContext) let newDrive = DriveEntity(entity: entityDrive!, insertIntoManagedObjectContext: managedContext) newDrive.quarter = quarter newDrive.time = time newDrive.yardLine = yardLine do{ try newDrive.managedObjectContext?.save() print("New drive added: \(newDrive.quarter!) with \(newDrive.time!) left on the \(newDrive.yardLine!) yard line") return true }catch{ let saveError = error as NSError print(saveError) } return false }

AndroidMultiTool

• Source Code: GitHub
• Description: A Android Application with a slew of different useful tools including:
  • Alarm Clock
  • Custom Web Browser
  • Email App
  • Present Fortune Teller
  • A Database Access Object
• Technical Spec: Java Application developed in Java
• Code Example:

Java ``` java @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_alarm_manager); Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar); setSupportActionBar(toolbar);

    alarm = new AlarmManagerBroadcastReceiver();

    FloatingActionButton fab = (FloatingActionButton) findViewById(R.id.fab);
    fab.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            Snackbar.make(view, "Replace with your own action", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG)
                    .setAction("Action", null).show();
        }
    });
} ```

VCF Gene Parser

• Source Code: GitHub
• Description: This is a simple project for parsing VCF files with gene information with a Python script and searching it through a NodeJS website. The VCF file is commonly used for transferring gene data and this tool easily stores the data in a MongoDB database for easier analysis than the flat file VCF.
• Technical Spec: Python Script and NodeJS Express Website
• Code Example:

Python python def saveToMongo(record): post = { "chrom": record.CHROM, "pos": record.POS, "gene_id": record.ID, "ref": record.REF, "alt": record.ALT, "qual": record.QUAL, "info": record.INFO, "samples": record.samples } insertedId = collection.insert_one(post).inserted_id print('Inserted post with id: %s' % insertedId)

NodeJS javascript // Get the gene_id when the text field is submitted app.post('/', function(req, res){ console.log(req.body.gene_id); // Query the mongo database Gene.findOne({gene_id: req.body.gene_id}, function(err, gene){ if(gene != null){ if(err){ res.render('index', {title:'Hey', message: "Error finding a Gene for " + req.body.gene_id, geneId: 'n/a', chrom: 'n/a', pos: 'n/a'}); console.log(err); } console.log("found id %s", gene.gene_id); // Render the index page and pass in all the data for the gene res.render('index', {title:'Hey', message: "Found a Gene for " + gene.gene_id, geneId: gene.gene_id, chrom: gene.chrom, pos: gene.pos, ref: gene.ref, alt: gene.alt}); }else{ res.render('index', {title:'Hey', message: 'Could not find a gene for ' + req.body.gene_id, geneId: 'n/a', chrom: 'n/a', pos: 'n/a', ref: 'n/a', alt: ['n/a','n/a']}); } }) });
