Hello, I am Ashton, a Computer Science student who enjoys building software, solving problems, and working on projects that turn ideas into something useful.
Focused on software, AI, and systems
Building practical tools that solve real problems
Projects
Things I've built and explored
Capstone / OMMS
Bubblify
Build a full-stack Optical Marking Management System (OMMS) that automates the process of marking bubble sheet exams. I worked on features including the OMR processing pipeline, scan alignment and quality detection, exam versioning, bubble sheet template management, exam analytics, the admin console, and cross-exam comparison tools. The system uses React, TypeScript, FastAPI, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker to provide an end-to-end workflow from exam setup and scan processing to grading, analytics, and result management.
Hackathon / LLM Workflow
Catasktrophy
Created a business workflow hackathon project that turns incoming requests into structured tasks using an LLM, supports role based assignment, and lets admins configure reusable department templates.
Android Studio
GPeeS
Build a mobile washroom finder designed to make finding nearby bathrooms quick and easy. I developed features centred around an interactive live map, allowing users to discover nearby washrooms, compare options, view reviews, filter results, and get directions. The app focuses on providing a simple and reliable way for users to find a suitable washroom when they need one.
C / Systems
Unix Shell
Built a Unix-style shell in C with command parsing, process creation, and execution flow that mirrors a lightweight terminal experience.
AI / Game Strategy
The Game of the Amazons
Built a deterministic tournament AI using monte carlo tree search, alpha beta pruning, and a territory control heuristic to improve decisions and overall performance.
Full Stack / E-Commerce
Full Stack Commerce Project
Built a full stack web application with an e-commerce style structure, connecting frontend flows, backend logic, and data handling into one project.
Full Stack / Project Management
Okanagan Connect
Built an event planning project focused on tracking project progress and keeping stakeholders informed. Used Smartsheet to monitor tasks, timelines, and overall progress, while providing weekly updates to sponsors to keep the project organized and transparent.
Java / AI Logic
Fantastic Bits AI
Created a logic based AI solution for a CodinGame challenge, balancing strategy, prediction, and rule based decision making.
