No process is more rewarding. Design, develop, and create are more than buzzwords. They are a way of life. There is nothing more rewarding than the process of designing something, developing, and iterating upon it, then the final step combines all the work together into creation for the world to experience.
We live in an ever increasingly data-driven world, what better way to learn how to interact with it and manipulate it than to capture your own data? With this project I am building a multi zone temperature sensor that will capture temperature and humidity data. The data is presented in an iOS app that lets users see the current and historical temperature data. That data is going to be logged and reported in a database with eventual goals of using that data to identify trends and make predictions.
This project is being made for NDSU CSCI 488 – Human Computer Interactions. The course only provided me with an objective. The idea, design, and code are all my own. This project aims to offer new text input methods for Apple Vision Pro. Gesture based recognition and a radial keyboard. The goal of the project is to allow text entry to become more efficient and accurate. Please note, the images shown here are only mockups, not a live prototype.
Working in AV Technology for NDSU, a big part of my job involved going into classrooms and performing different maintenance and installation tasks. It was important that I know how long a room would be available for before I began the maintenance. The University had a room scheduling tool already in place, but it was difficult to use on mobile devices. That was a problem because most of the time, I was away from a desktop computer when I needed the scheduling information. RoomMate was born as a mobile friendly tool that queries the university scheduling system and displays the necessary information in a mobile friendly way.
Have you ever had a DSL modem that constantly needs to be restarted? In our modern world, internet access is critical. This project serves the purpose of checking if a network has internet connectivity, and if it doesn’t, restarts network equipment. This ensures network uptime for critical systems, even in situations where a human isn’t able to intervene.
The project was built using an ESP32 development board, OLED display, and a 120V relay. This project was one of my first times developing all aspects of a complete physical system, including electrical design, physical design, programming, testing, and implementation.
This project was made for the Swift Student Challenge 2024. It was inspired by my own difficulty in understanding complex three-dimensional problems in integral calculus. I wanted to create a way to visualize what was going on as the inputs were changed.
I have a limited knowledge with working in three dimensional objects in Swift and knew that targeting calculus would be too much for the limited time that this challenge was open for. As a result, I created a project that targeted introductory geometry. The app allows the user to check the area of 2D shapes, and volume of 3D shapes.
This project was completed for the Swift Student Challenge 2024. If you use parts of this project for your own challenge, remember to check the terms regarding what you may use.
I worked a summer job where I was permitted to work up to 39.99 hours in a week. I was not to work beyond 40 hours. I could schedule out the days to clock in at a certian time and clock out at a certian time each day and I would hit the hours goal, but it got close sometimes. Often I found myself arriving to work early or staying late and that added time to my hours. Trying to do the math in a hurry to figure out what time I needed to clock out just wasn’t working. Thats why I built HourCalc.
Following the conclusion of the New London – Spicer High School Drama Departments production of Cinderella. I was called on stage where a plaque was presented to me reading:
This Sound and Light booth is hereby dedicated to Seth Arvila in honor of his undying dedication and commitment to the performing arts programming at New London - Spicer Schools.
Commonly referred to as the “First to come, last to leave” award. I was honored as a recipient of this prestigious award in my senior in High School Concert Band. To earn this honor, ballots are cast and the winner is nominated by fellow band members. I was honored with this award as a result of my commitment to New London – Spicer Concert band, pep band, and other arts content through the district.
Patrick S. Gilmore Band Award For outstanding contributions to the band is presented to Seth Arvila - 2019.
As the first ever recipient of the Technical Wonder Award from the New London – Spicer Performing Arts department, I am honored to have shown dedication and character that will hopefully have a lasting impact on the future generations of students.
2018-19 "Technical Wonder" Award
Chi Alpha is a Christian ministry that is devoted to the mission for students to find Jesus, find family, find purpose. In my involvement, I built lasting connections with my peers, developed my faith, and made lasting memories.
Tau Beta Pi is a nationally recognized honor society that has a commitment to instill the values of honor and excellence in engineering to its members. As a member, I met with other members who are a part of the College of Engineering on a regular basis. We met with industry experts to gain insight into the industries they represented. We held events and did activities that support our campus. During my tenure, I served as a club officer as treasurer where I managed finances, budgeted funds, and completed other logistical work.
Management Information Systems Club is a club operating within the North Dakota State University College of Business. It is dedicated to connecting its members to employers. The club meets with various employers in the Fargo-Moorhead area that benefits the employees by giving them access to the student body, and it benefits the students by giving them an opportunity to build connections with employers and learn ways they may refine their skillsets to be a better match with the industry.
