Satellite Identifier: Predictive Modeling
This data science project for CST383: Introduction to Data Science investigates the relationship between a satellite’s physical characteristics and its intended mission. By developing a predictive model to categorize satellites into six primary classes, the study demonstrated that specific mission types are strongly tied to distinct orbital patterns. Key achievements include:

First Smart Mirror Build
I built my first smart mirror using a Raspberry Pi 3+ and an old monitor I have lying around a year ago. After the PI stopped working I opened it back up to figure out why it stopped working. In process of doing so I accidentally shorted the 110V circuit and the circuit breaker in my apartment tripped. So I basically fried the monitor and PI so opted to start over with a newer monitor.
The original build using an old 720p monitor, which fit perfectly in the frame!
I’ll be posting the new monitor build soon, but wanted to share my original build for funsies. I do miss how the old monitor fit perfectly in the frame I had, but the viewing angle was terrible.

Jekyll
I’ll be moving to using Jekyll to display my static pages and organize my posts. I was thinking of Node.js with express but Jekyll will do all that I need.
Roadmap V3
- Display pages using Jekyll
- All posts displayed on the main page, and tagged with categories like
csumb,project name, etc. - Project-related posts will show on the main page and on the project itself.
