of an Idea.

I had a question.
So I built something.

HASSAAN’S WORK, CONNECTED.
The starting point: questions that seem worth finding out about.CuriosityTHE QUESTION BEFORE THE THINGTurning pixels into useful information about the physical world.Perception9 connected repositoriesSeparating a convincing output from a result that survives a meaningful check.Prediction6 connected repositoriesUsing collected observations to build and question a model.Patterns9 connected repositoriesComparing choices under constraints, from practice plans to competing strategies.Adaptation4 connected repositoriesDesigning explanations and feedback that help another person take the next step.Understanding7 connected repositoriesA desk companion connecting machine perception, language, and physical movement.ALICEP—01 / Perception → actionAn exploration at the intersection of computer vision, spatial information, and haptic feedback.Haptic VisionP—05 / Pixels → touchCourse materials become targeted practice exams, with a separate plan, generation, and verification workflow.JEFFP—02 / Materials → practiceColorimetry software used in Skidmore College’s Analytical Chemistry course.ColorimetryP—03 / Color → measurementAn evolving population of trading strategies, with selection, mutation, and explicit risk controls.The TerrariumP—04 / Competition → adaptationScratch, Python, and web development taught through hands-on exploration.Coding CaravanP—06 / A first line → a new possibilitySmall systems that remove friction from everyday work: reminders, editing, organization, and workflows.Useful tools7 connected repositoriesGames and playful interactions as a way to investigate rules, choices, feedback, and behavior.Play9 connected repositoriesMaking information, stories, and interactions something another person can explore.Expression15 connected repositoriesCommit-discipline application that tracks GitHub activity and sends reminders.1 Day, 1 CommitChat-style web experiment with a server-side API route and configurable client interaction.AI GaslighterData-rich geographic visualization project using historical congressional-district and legislator datasets.AOI · Congressional mapsTeaching-oriented Java 2D game engine with reusable level, entity, combat, and input primitives.APCS Game EngineFull-stack newsroom workflow application for research, story drafting, editorial review, outreach, contacts, and transcripts.Auric

characters and types pasted text into web editors at a configurable pace.Human Rate TyperJeopardy question-pool preparation and game utility for HVCC.HVCC JeopardyInteractive genetics calculator and pedigree visualizer for exploring consanguinity scenarios.Pedigree ModelerPhotography portfolio with camera-inspired navigation, filter controls, gallery, lightbox, and content pages.Luca’s Photo PortfolioA computational economics model comparing an administered policy-rate anchor with competitive loan-rate discovery under fixed institutional conditions.Market-Determined RatesRelativistic mission-planning simulator that combines orbital mechanics, optimization, and an interactive visualization dashboard.MARTEBrowser prototype for face detection applied to meme-oriented visual interaction.Meme Face DetectionMusic-timed interactive web experience driven by a precomputed beat map.Operation Desert HazeMonte Carlo engine for analyzing exam-question drop strategies via separated question and metadata evaluators.Project JERKDesktop computer-vision tool for tracking rotational/angular behavior and classifying observed activity.RAT · Angular TrackingPersonal dashboard for homework, journaling, gym planning, and quotes, with authentication and Google Apps Script integration.RyanHWPortfolio/landing site presenting the Second Order Labs vision and projects.Second Order LabsInteractive social/economic simulation interface with agent inspection, a market chart, collective view, story feed, and interventions.SentioGesture-controlled 3D/visual sandbox for experimenting with interactive scientific scenes.Taptic SandboxA browser workspace for organizing threads as stacks, with push, await, complete, and return actions saved locally.The Call StackBrowser audio experiment for exploring tinnitus-related sound and visual feedback.Tinnitus LabMarketing and contact website for True Companion, with content pages and a server-side email endpoint.True

Hassaan Vani’s portfolio

I’m Hassaan Vani, a student and builder in Clifton Park, New York. I make software, robotics, scientific tools, and interactive experiments, and teach programming through Coding Caravan.

Anatomy of an Idea connects the questions behind those projects. Select an idea to unfold its projects, or use these links to read the work directly.
