Experience

  • 2D Bin Packing Library for Irregular Pieces
    https://github.com/mses-bly/2D-Bin-Packing

    This project aims to provide basic functionality for solving 2D bin packing problems of irregular (and regular) sets of pieces.

    The 2D bin-packing problem consists of a given a set of 2D pieces with unknown form or shape; we have to place them in a series of rectangular bins minimizing the material used. In other words, place all the pieces in as few bins as possible.

    The problem is NP-hard, thus there is no guarantee that an algorithm will provide an optimal solution, although we can compare different solutions in terms of how many bins an algorithm has used for a particular set of pieces. This project tries a few heuristics and approximations in order to solve the problem with a reasonable amount of computational effort; given that a brute-force approach to the problem would take virtually an infinite amount of time.

  • Android with Geolocation API Integration | Sample code
    https://github.com/mses-bly/AndroPlaces

    Sample Android code that integrates the Google Maps API for Android with an API. Just a sample code, the API is no longer available.

  • Weka on Spark | Proof of Concept
    https://github.com/mses-bly/WekaOnSpark

    Code that integrates the Weka ML project with Spark. Written in Java, this is a proof-of-concept code project that seeks to integrate Weka's Machine Learning capabilities with a distributed framework such as Spark.
