University

• UW Mechatronics Program Overview: Wanna hire me!? This is the program overview of all the courses I have and will be taking.
• Heat Fin Simulation: Finite element analysis of a rectangular heat fin. Also included is a brief discussion of computer algorithms and errors introduced by decoupling equations. Will be expanded when I get a chance.

Tools

• Myspace Show Parser (Nov 2007): Crawls some of my favourite bands’ Myspace page for show information.  Right now it only lists Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto shows.  More functionality when I have time.
• Multiple Feedback Bandpass Filter (Nov 2005): Excel spreadsheet file to help pick resistor values for a bandpass filter. I used it successfully on a tone detection filter circuit with a Q value of 12 and a centre freqency of 1.5kHz.
• Sudoku Solver (Oct 2006): A Matlab program that solves easy to medium level Sudokus. Contains additional data structures, such as the possible integers for each unsolved cell in the Sudoku puzzle, that can be used for future solving techniques. Requires the Data Structures and Algorithm Toolbox, in addition to the pointers library if you’re using Matlab 7.0. I don’t plan on working on this any more as there are plenty of websites out there that have gone way beyond me. It was mostly just to satisfy a bet I made with a classmate of mine who didn’t think I would actually program this thing.

• Excel2LaTeX: Creating tables in LaTex is a pain. This tool exports MS Excel selections and converts them into LaTex code which can be copied to the clipboard.
