Hi, I'm Joseph Maltese
A second-year Computer Science (BASc) Co-op student at McMaster University with a passion for coding and software development. I love to learn and explore new technologies, with particular interest in full-stack development and artificial intelligence. As a member of the Software Architecture team for McMaster Start Coding, I help develop the STaBL.rocks web application in Haskell, which is used to teach programming fundamentals to K-PhD students. I actively participate in hackathons, where I enjoy collaborating with others to solve challenging problems and build innovative projects.
What I've Been Working On Recently
STaBL.rocks
An online ELM IDE used by McMaster Start Coding (MSC) to teach K-PhD students the fundamentals of programming. Developed in Haskell using the IHP full-stack framework alongside a team of volunteer software developers.
GDSC McMaster U site
The official site for McMaster's Google Developer Student Club (GDSC). Developed in NextJS alongside a team of Software Developers on the GDSC's Marketing & Branding Team.
Moodify
Moodify is an AI-powered journaling platform developed at UofTHacks 12, designed to help users reflect, articulate their thoughts, and foster positive thinking. It uses generative AI technologies to summarize journal entries and offer unique perspectives.
Wedding RSVP Site
A full-stack web application for my brother's upcoming wedding to monitor guest attendance and allow guests to RSVP virtually. Deployed on Vercel!
Sudoku Solver GUI
A GUI developed in C using the GTK toolkit to create an interactive application that solves Sudoku puzzles using a recursive backtracking algorithm.
Traffic Sign Classification AI
A neural network that identifies road signs (stop signs, yield signs, etc.) from images using the Keras, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn Libraries. Trained on the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark (GTSRB) dataset.
