profile:
Hello! I'm Matthew Epshtein, a junior at Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Washington, and an IB Diploma Candidate, graduating in June 2025. I like to have fun and build robots as part of my school's robotics team, for which I am the President and Programing Lead. I also play basketball sometimes.
projects:
- Crescendo2024: The code for my robotics team's 2024 robot, written in Kotlin. Includes custom path-planning and swerve code. [Kotlin, CV, Algorithms, Robotics, Embedded Systems, GUI Creation, Control Theory]
- BSRS: Implementation of the card game "Bull****"(Also known as "Cheat") in Rust.[Rust, Algorithms, Data Structures, Game Development]
- ChargedUp2023: The code for my robotics team's 2023 robot, written in Kotlin.[Kotlin, CV, Algorithms, Robotics, Embedded Systems, GUI Creation, Control Theory]
- SHtack: A simple web-server application written in c that is like russian roulette for nerds. [Data Structures, String Parsing/Sanitization, C, Web Development]
- ValhallaErrors: A fullstack web app built to track errors for the ValhallaBots, hence the name. [Data Structures, SQL, Golang, Svelte, Web Development, Algorithms]
- Almonds.Site: A very simple joke/troll site with a voting feature. My first real foray into web development. [Svelte, NodeJS, Web Development]
- FrivolousStonks: A discord bot I helped program that was a stock simulation using discord servers as "companies". [Discord.JS, Data Structures, Algorithms, Finance]
- Elezar and kcgyiydxydu: A "css package manager" that downloaded css snippets and added them to a users project. [TypeScript, Algorithms, Web Development]
- PorcPy: A collection of various python programs I've written over the years. The most recent addition involves OpenCV and Numpy, I think. [Python, Algorithms]
- RapidReact2022 : The code for IHS Robotics in the year 2021-2022. Worked pretty well at competition! [Java, Algorithms, Robotics, Embedded Systems, GUI Creation]
- Phonebook: A very simple key value database in c. Built with blood, sweat, tears, and malloc's. [Data Structures, Algorithms, JSON, C Programming, Hashing]
- Hunt the Wumpus: A game made in my CS class for a microsoft-hosted competition. Got the highest score in code quality, implementation, and innovation categories of ~20 other teams. [C#, Algorithms, Game Development, GUI Creation, Data Structures]
- ValhallaLib: an in development library which aims to provide a bevy of base functionality for FRC robots with minimal setup effort.[Kotlin, Embedded Systems, Algorithms, GUI Creation, Robotics]
- OscillatorDatabase: an in development database of biological networks dyncamically modeled using Tellurium. Also availible as a python package. [Python, Algorithims, Data Structures, GUI Creation, Web Design, Networks]
- Reefscape2025 : The code for IHS Robotics in the year 2024-2025. Made to play the "Reefscape" game with as much autonomous capability as possible. Still indev. [Kotlin, Embedded Systems, Algorithims, Data Structures, Control Theory, Robotics]
