From a video with a car and a road, identifying and marking the current lane of the vehicle using openCV. Developed for computer vision class.
About
Hello, my name is Daniel Mendonça and I'm now finishing my master's degree at Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do
Porto, where I'm taking the Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering course. During these last few years, while
studying I gained a special interest in software architecture topics and design patterns, distribution and integration
technologies, mobile applications and also computer vision + pattern recognition.
Developing for mobile is fun,
the first time I developed an application for Android was in a programming competition, Porto Summer of Code (2015 edition)
and that made me want to know more about it, so, I am currently in a Mobile Applications class and learning/developing
UWP apps by myself. I find captivating developing health related software, specially within the Computer Vision and
pattern recognition field. Another thing that grew on me is SaaS, I really enjoyed learning about SOAP and REST. Learning
and getting in touch with new technologies is fulfilling, and right now IoT seems to be a topic that is worth spending
my time.
Apart from tech, I like to play football, watch Formula 1 and motorsport in general, going to the cinema watch
a movie, watch my favourite TV series and also karting.
Projects that were fun to develop
Cat or Dog classification - Computer Vision and pattern recognition
This was actually a kaggle competition, where from a set of images of cats and dogs, the software should determine if the animal in the given photo was either a cat or a dog. Developed for computer vision class using openCV.
OCR bill splitter - Android
An Android app that splits the bill with other people using OCR to get the values of each product and associate it with a person, then split the bill. This was developed for the Porto Summer of Code competition.
Stock trading web service simulation - SOAP
Stock trading web services offered by a financial institution. The web services are built on top of .NET technology: WCF / SOAP and MSMQ. It was also used the Entity framework technology. Developed for Distribution and Integration Technologies class.
Nutrition Consults - UWP
A software that eases the process of giving a nutrition consult and automate some processes. Developed for learning purposes and given to a nutritionist to use.
Software using Leap Motion
This was a project developed in Project Management Laboratory class for Deloitte Digital, where I got to develop our software interaction with the leap motion device.
