I have started creating an app that allows users to connect multiple drones to one interface. The end goal is for the users to be able to talk to these drones through natural language. For example, saying things like hover 4 feet above the ground. I have implemented several python files that allow for a user to simulate this, but I want to move on to working with actual drones soon.
I think that most portfolio sites are overdesigned (unless youre doing ui) so I made mine super simple. It really just gets the facts across. Its coded 100% in HTML and is truly just a simple site.
Currently, about 1 billion people around the world are deficient in Vitamin D. This is why i built the Sun Calculator. It measures how much sun exposure is needed in order to obtain a healthy amount of vitamin D. It measures local UV, and asks what clothes you are wearing. This allows for accurate results.
Getting enough Vitamin D isn’t as simple as just “going outside.” It’s a delicate balancing act. Stay out too little, and your body doesn’t produce enough. Stay out too long, and you risk sunburn and UV damage.
I realized that people needed a personalized approach. One-size-fits-all medical advice doesn’t work here because UV radiation changes by the hour, and everyone exposes different amounts of skin depending on their daily outfits.
I made massive progress on my project (turning text into dna). Like I said in earlier posts, I think that DNA is the future. But we still need a way to turn our text into DNA bases. Thats why I am making this program. Before, my UI was just for show. But now I added JS files to make it actually functional. I created a radiation.js that could stimulate radiation damage, and used data from NASA.
Built out the full UI with four tabs — encode, decode, analyze, and trace.
The analyze tab was the most interesting to build. Had to implement the
SantaLucia 1998 nearest-neighbor thermodynamic model to estimate melting
temperature. It uses ΔH and ΔS values for every possible base pair
combination to predict how stable a strand is under heat. For short
strands under 14 bases it falls back to the simpler Wallace rule.
Also learned what GC content actually means — G and C form 3 hydrogen
bonds when they pair, A and T only form 2. So a strand with good GC
balance is physically stronger. The ideal range for synthesis is 40–60%.
I have upgraded my UI greatly. I started looking into popular websites and tried using their purplish/bluish gradients on my website.
Did you know that all of the data in the world could fit into 3 coffee mugs?
If those mugs were made out of DNA
Computers store data in binary code (0s and 1s), but DNA uses four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G.
By writing a simple script, we can map binary pairs to DNA letters.
Because DNA is so dense, it can store humanity’s entire digital footprint into the palm of your hand, while keeping it safe for thousands of years. I have began work on a script that can hopefully do this.
I am working on a small script to turn binary into DNA bases. I want to learn how to make a UI soon.
