Welcome!

I am Mason Brill

I am a versatile software engineer with proficient frontend expierence. I have worked with a wide range of technologies which includes the MERN, LAMP, and FREMP stacks. I have also worked with just about every mainstream programming language such as python, java, javascript, C, and more. Ever since I was young I have always had a curiosity for technology. I always wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes. What made computers tick? How was I able to play incredible video games? How can these computers display graphics on the screen? These are the questions I asked myself and was determined to find the answer to. This is what lead me to my pursuit of a degree in computer science. I also took personal endevours to discover topics I wanted to find answers to. I learn something new everyday and the journey will never stop in this ever-changing field.

This project was a fun one. It is essentially a Geo-guesser for Tampa Florida. It displays a picture that I took somewhere in Tampa, and then you would be shown the Google maps API and you would need to drag the marker to the location of the picture. It would then tell you how close you were within three decimal places of a mile using an appropriate distance formula.

Our team created this over the course of a semester and at the end had a fully functioning finished product.

Project:

Rubik's Cube Solver

Skills:

-Java -Binary Trees -DFS -BFS -Data Structures -Algorithms

Description:

This was a final project for my data structures and algorithm course. It works by generating a randomized Rubik's Cube and initalizing a solved one as well. Then, these two objects are set as the root of two individual binary trees referenced as a front and back tree. A series of expansions are performed on each of these trees and a BFS and DFS is performed. Each trees have a set of moves associated with each node referring how to get there from the root. As the searchs are performed, These steps are combined until the orientation of the cube matches a node in both the front and back tree. This gives a combined set of moves to perform on the cube to solve it.
