Search Engine

Created a Inverted File Index based search engine that searched through a corpus of roughly 200,000 WikiBooks and utilized boolean based queries and Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency to rank the search results. For this project, I Worked with a fellow student in my Data Structures class over the course of 3.5 weeks to produce the search engine. ​

Implement 3rd Party Code

Learned to work with and implement pre-existing code from outside sources in our project (such as the Porter word Stemming library) to supplement our own code. 

Work within Deadlines

Our professor supplied a series of deadlines for the software's functionality that we had to meet. The major deadline required us to be able index a minimum amount of documents in a specified time, which my partner and I successfully accomplished (a feat that only about half of the class was able to accomplish in time)  

Collaborative Work

By utilizing products such as GitHub, we were able to productively divide up the work and keep the project on schedule despite having to work on the project from different locations at times (we had to work from our respective home cities during the week of Thanksgiving break)
