Demo Reel

This video features a number of projects and technologies I've worked with over my undergraduate career. Projects range from applications, graphic design work, capstone projects, and more. Detailed information on each project can be found below.


The COVID-19 Info Room

Created and hosted entirely through Amazon Web Services, the COVID-19 Info Room is an online portal for users to get accurate, up to date information on the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Data is imported into an S3 bucket via Lambda, pulling realtime information from the CDC and other reliable data sources. This data is imported into Amazon Quicksite, where it is transformed into readable graphs. These graphs are then imported into Amazon Sumerian, where they are used in an interactive "Info Room", an enviroment that users can explore in their browser using WebGL. All data pulling and graph updates are automate on a periodic interval, ensuring that data is accurate and up to date. Overall, this project explores cloud computing and serverless application development, while being used to connect users with accurate data on the COVID-19 outbreak.


Web Development & Design

I have individually created and managed a number of online websites and web platforms. Skills include VPN management, website, email server, membership portals, payment portals, and associated platforms and plug-ins. Direct experience in every step of process, from set-up, design, and management of implemented digital systems for business and clients. Experience in both techincal and design process.

Theia - Digital Beacon Wayfinding

Though the GIMM program at Boise State University, I worked with the Idaho Access Project and relevant stakeholders to develop a campus wide digital wayfinding application via Bluetooth beacon technology. This involved developing UI prototypes, working with client to ensure complete accessibility. Now, we are developing a multi-platform application in React Native. Development work received letter of strong support on behalf of the 17 organizations, departments, and agencies including Idaho Access Project, Disability Action Center, Northwest ADA center, and others.

An Exploration into Machine Learning

An Exploration into Machine Learning

Created during my senior year at Boise State, this comprehensive presentation takes a dive into the current state of machine learning, how it works, and where it's heading. Inside, we also take a look at OpenAI's most advance language processing model. I feed it questions on consiounsess, feeling, and the ultimate meaning of life. Intriguing results are documented, tying everything together from a big picture perspective.

Albertsons Library Guidance App

Developed from the ground up using Swift and ARKit, the Albertsons Library Guidance App was an exploration into using Alternate Reality technology to help make an area more accessible to everybody. This project entailed every step of the project management process, from drafting out details and responsibilites, to creating weekly sprints and goals, to keeping updated jounrals on tasks and backlogged items. After crafting a viable prototype in Adobe XD, The final app prototype was trained to recognize key 3D object assets, in which it would associate to a specific area. Additional information was given on the environment. Information given included visual and audio prompts, video tutorials, and other assistive tools.

Unity Machine Learning Agents

Taking a look at machine learning in a 3D simulated enviorment, this project focuses around an agent trained through reinforcement learning. The agent was given a number of parameters and behaved solely based off learning around these parameters with no hard coded behavior. The training generates a neural network model that was hooked up to the AI agents in the Unity project. The final result is a multiplayer project in which players can interact with trained agents. Utilizing photon for mulitplayer, each agent is synced across all players' instances.

Connorwall.me is a creative portfolio site I've created alongside this site. I code, design, and host 100% of the content on Connorwall.me, using it as a playground and development showcase. The site is hosted through an Amazon S3 bucket, registered with a domain through Route 53, and set to handle HTTPS requests through Amazon CloudFront. Every aspect of the site is coded in CSS, including animations, color changing, and other visual effects.
