Software engineer who climbs.
I'm Antonio Colon. I studied computer science and math at Michigan and live in Miami. I've built a tool that turns recipes into grocery carts and a study assistant that answers from a course's own lectures. Right now I'm building Rocky, an iPhone app that coaches bouldering.
The route so far
projecting still working on it sent shipped
- RockyAn iPhone app that watches you boulder and tells you how to climb better. It finds the holds on a wall, groups them by route, and tracks your body through a recorded climb.
- Learn++A study tool that turns any CS book into a quiz bank you grind against to retain it, with questions generated and grounded in the book's own chapter text.
- Modus AIA Top 5 hackathon project, selected from more than 75 teams, that gives university students citation-backed answers from their own course materials.
- CartWiseA full-stack system that transforms recipes into one-click shopping carts by mapping structured ingredients to retailer products.
- NOMADA social travel app focused on making travel discovery and planning simpler and more collaborative.
- University of MichiganComputer science degree with a math minor. Most of the systems and algorithms projects further down come from here.
Also on the wall
All projects →- Paco's Puppy ProblemAn image-classification study comparing CNNs, transfer learning, and a Vision Transformer across roughly 8,800 images.
- Insta485An Instagram-style social platform built from static pages into a server-rendered application and finally an interactive React experience.
- Distributed MapReduceA fault-tolerant MapReduce framework that coordinates parallel map and reduce jobs across networked worker processes.
- Scalable Search EngineA multi-service search engine with a MapReduce indexing pipeline, segmented inverted indexes, and relevance-ranked results.
- LC-2K Cache SimulatorA configurable set-associative cache integrated with an LC-2K processor simulator to model real memory behavior.
- SillyQL Database EngineAn in-memory relational database engine with typed tables, conditional queries, indexing, deletion, and joins.
- Mine EscapeA priority-driven pathfinding simulation that clears the least difficult route out of a mine while handling TNT chain reactions.
- Letterman Word MorphA configurable word-transformation solver that finds paths between dictionary words using breadth-first or depth-first search.
Off the wall
Born in Puerto Rico, based in Miami. Away from the screen I climb, lift, run, and read. I once walked the Camino de Santiago, 150 miles in 10 days from Porto to Santiago de Compostela.
