Chatbots Developer in Knoxville, TN, United States

VirtualBench is a 5-in-1 hardware product for scientists and engineers. It contains a mixed signal oscilloscope, function generator, DC power supply, digital multimeter, and logic analyzer. The iOS and Windows applications are used to interface with the hardware product and act as its user interface.

Having worked on the project for the majority of my three years at National Instruments, I was responsible for implementing many major features including the XY graph mode, reference waveforms, device discovery and pairing, hands-free mode, and more.

Working together with a client, an experienced forex trader, I developed automated trading algorithms for the JForex trading platform.

The algorithms automatically execute trades based on the complex behavior of various market indicators (such as moving averages and volume).

The client designed the algorithms, I implemented them in Java, tested, measured, looked for potential oversights in or possible improvements to the algorithm, reported my findings to the client, and we iterated repeatedly to make improvements.

The algorithms can either run inside of the JForex client and indicate what they are doing by drawing on charts and emitting log messages, or they can run headlessly on a remote server.

The client highly valued my initiative and ability to detect corner cases and oversights in the algorithms that they designed.

KotobaWeb.com is an educational website for Japanese learners that I am developing in my spare time. The main feature consists of two simple WebSocket-based multiplayer vocabulary games that test players on their ability to read and use the Chinese characters that are used in Japanese writing.

The site is written using React, Express, MongoDB, and Google Material Design principles.

The code is open-source: https://github.com/mistval/kotobaweb

Kotoba is a chatbot that I develop and operate on the Discord chat service. It targets Japanese language learners and offers dictionary lookups, text rendering, educational games, and more.

The bot is currently deployed in more than 2,000 Discord servers and responds to 1,000-2,000 commands daily from 100-200 unique users.

Metaneva was an experimental workbench funded by the Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand) for storing and querying data from experiments in the neurosciences. While still in high school at the time, I was responsible for developing and implementing a domain-specific database query language for it and a module for viewing query results in a tree-like view.
