Hi, I'm Zac Schepis

Gathered data from ISUs event calendar from HTML format into a structured JSON format.

• Scraped structured data from HTML tables of ISU's events calendar
• Parsed into JSON and stored for use in other projects (e.g., Discord Bot)

cheerio

My first long-term project, created for the ISU ACM club for use in their Discord server.

• Message logging: edit/delete message updates
• ISU Event posting utilizing my Events Calendar Web Scraper
• User affiliation identification: using a password system, users are able to choose their affiliation to a club/server if it is set up there.

• Pulls data from a NASA API to set up daily facts about space with an image
• Unit testss written with pytest

flaskpytest

Developed a RESTful backend API in Golang for the geospatial app, EchoPoint, using the Echo framework with the Firebase suite.

• Implemented post verification logic to ensure signed-in users can post, and that group posting is restricted to group members.

echo

• Initiated connection with a remote websocket server, and ran through various inputs/outputs

• Parses Deterministic Finite Automata model-code built from TiKZ in LaTeX, converts it to a runner
• Runner generates an object to loop through the states and validate if an input is in the language of the model
• Inlcudes basic input validation, no dead states/unreachable nodes

• Implemented in one class file, included basic space invaders logic with screen-size agnostic movement

C#

• Geospatial android app allowing users to create and hear 'echoes' (recordings), scoped to individual friend groups, or to the public
• Designed and implemented the backend API for this. See below.

• Neural Network models that generated music in the style of Bach if he were heartbroken by some gal of the time
• Uses Tensorflow with Convuluted Layers

tensorflow

• Parser: Implemented a parser that recognizes the DECAF language
• Interpreter: Implemented methods that allowed for operations using a simple language

This project was the main focus for the CS Capstone class I took. We were tasked with implementing various visualizations on the mentioned games as our project.

• Designed and implemented MinMax algorithm visualizations for Checkers and TicTacToe using the Qt framework
• Developed a configurable AI Checkers opponent capable of planning x moves ahead
• Led a team of 3 peers through planning, development and debugging phases

qt

A Node.js based program that provides a coding-style approach to solving linear algebra problems. Developed when I took that class to verify calculations and reinforce my understanding of key concepts

Implemented a lottery-based process scheduler in XV6 as part of an assignment for my Operating Systems class

• Modified the xv6 kernel to implement a lottery-based process scheduling algorithm
• Allowed weighted process selection for random CPU distribution

Remade the GP Roofing website using modern and reactive practices with Next.js

• Rebuilt the existing static site into a responsive Next.js application
• Deployed using Vercel

vercel

A Python script for verifying system package versions on an HPC GPU cluster before launching JupyterLab. Known internally as Grant's Retribution

• Created a version checker using Python to ensure all packages needed were within a version number to use JupyterLab on the HPC GPU cluster at the INL
• Optimized package version verification, reducing login time for 50+ researchers and students from 86 seconds to under 0.005 seconds
• Still used today
