Integrating 'xyz2mol'
into the RDKit
I integrated 'xyz2mol', originally
developed by Professor Jan H. Jensen's group at the
University of
Copenhagen, into the RDKit, an open source
cheminformatics library.
The integrated feature, given a molecule's charge and
the spatial location of each of its atoms, predicts the molecule's
most favorable set of bonds. I translated the
original Python code to C++ and wrote an XYZ file
parser. I also wrote unit tests and documentation
for the feature. It is now available in the RDKit's
C++, Python, and Java APIs.
Pokedex
I made a tool to get any Pokémon's
profile straight from the command line. It has a built-in spelling corrector, so you don't have to know how to spell pikachoo.
The feature can be installed with one command.
Users can update their local Pokémon database
(with data from the PokéAPI) whenever they choose; I
use concurrency to speed up the program's
update process. Each Pokémon's profile comes with
its egg-groups, its evolution chain, and a
fun fact (and they might not get the same one
every time they ask). As a bonus, users can
ask for a random Pokémon and may be lucky enough to
stumble upon some ASCII Pokémon art.
