Hi, I'm David.

MY PERSONAL SITE

This website is simply a medium to explore my graphic design & web development skills, while also showcasing a bit about myself!

About

Iā€™m a fourth-year student at McMaster University studying Electrical Engineering. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, playing sports, running, hiking, and playing the guitar! I'm fascinated by robotics & autonomous systems, and the math & software behind it all.

I know for sure that I want to travel the world. One of my many life goals is to explore the planet and experience new places, cultures, and cuisines! There's a whole different world beyond our borders I can't wait to experience it. So, if you have any travel recommendations, please let me know and I'll add it to my already-overfilled travel bucket list!

Projects

Here are some of my projects over the years... See more on GitHub and my notes.

BackTrack

Nov 2022


BackTrack is a web app that tracks the user's posture in real-time using live video feed from their webcam, and notifes them when they are slouching. This project was inspired by my last co-op, where my work related to human pose estimation. I also have an interest in back pain as you can tell from my previous projects. Overall, this project was a great way to improve my React skills!

TravelPal

May 2021


Given my travel interests, it only makes sense that I work on a project related to it! TravelPal is a website where users can recieve practical travel information based on the country they're travelling to. I developed this website from scratch using HTML, CSS, Vanilla JavaScript, and the travelbriefing.org API. I learned a ton from this project, as it was my first time working with CSS grid, local storage, and APIs!

Personal Website



This website, currently in its 1st version, is my first ever web development project. I created it with the goal of improving my graphic designing skills and learning web development. My logo & avatar were designed on Adobe Illustrator and the website was designed on Figma and built responsive & mobile-first with pure HTML, CSS, & Vanilla Javascript. I decided to build this website from scratch to truly gain a strong understanding of web development.

Back Inspector

Jan 2021


After reading a book about back pain, I decided to create Back Inspector - an online tool where users can recieve a self-assessment of their back pain by answering 14 questions. I created this project to improve my web development skills and reinforce some of the concepts I learned from the book.
