Hi, I'm Madison Gertsakis
First-Year Computer Science Student
I'm a passionate learner with a strong foundation in Java and Python, currently studying at the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada. I'm on track to graduate in 2029. I love building projects that solve real-world problems and am always eager to explore new technologies.
My Projects
A Showcase of My Work
Here are some of the projects I've worked on. You can filter them by programming language.
CLI Adventure Game
Java
A text-based adventure game built in Java. Players navigate through rooms, collect items, and solve puzzles. It showcases object-oriented programming principles and data structures.
public class Room {
private String description;
private HashMap<String, Room> exits;
public Room(String description) {
this.description = description;
exits = new HashMap<>();
}
// ...
}Web Scraper for Stock Data
Python
A Python script using BeautifulSoup and Requests to scrape financial websites for stock prices. The data is then saved to a CSV file for analysis. Demonstrates web scraping and data handling skills.
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
URL = "http://example.com/stocks"
page = requests.get(URL)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, "html.parser")
results = soup.find(id="stock-prices")
# ...Simple Chat Application
Java
A client-server chat application using Java Sockets. Supports multiple clients connecting to a central server to send and receive messages in real-time. Explores multithreading and network programming.
public class ChatServer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try (ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(5000)) {
while (true) {
new ClientHandler(serverSocket.accept()).start();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// ...
}
}
}Data Visualization with Matplotlib
Python
A project that takes a dataset (e.g., iris dataset) and creates various plots like scatter plots, histograms, and bar charts using Python's Matplotlib library. Shows ability to visualize data effectively.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 200)
y = np.sin(x)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(x, y)
plt.show()My Skills
