Fish Segmentation

Pytorch, TensorFlow, Jupyter Notebook

  • ‣ Developed an image segmentation model using the U-Net architecture, leveraging a pre-trained MobileNetV2 backbone for efficient feature extraction
  • ‣ Preprocessed a large dataset of fish images to ensure normalized and effective input for the segmentation model
  • ‣ Collaborated with teammates to distribute tasks effectively, contributing to accurate segmentation and classification outcomes

Snake Game

C#

  • ‣ Designed and implemented a network controller using TCP listener to establish a server-client connection allowing users to play on the same map
  • ‣ Implemented the Model-View-Controller architecture for the game to separate logic, interface, and data handling leading to cleaner, more maintainable code
  • ‣ Worked closely with a partner to collaboratively build and update the game throughout the semester, resulting in a fully functional multiplayer snake game with the integration of the network
