Scott Hickmann

Hi! I love to work on innovative software projects. My top skills include team management, Next.js, React Native, and brand design. Always opened to discussion promoting change, sustainability, and unity.

Mobile Applications

Let's use smartphones for the better.

Unity

From pong to infinite metaverses, anything is possible with Unity.

Robotics & Electronics

It's not all about software.

  • Hamster's Eye

  • Social Media Counter

  • Halloween Costumes

  • LED Table

  • FIRST LEGO League

  • Design Thinking Contest

  • Hamster's Eye

    I made a small Hamster robot that could navigate around obstacles by taking the shortest path without any human interaction. The iPhone a few feet above the ground recognizes the robot and obstacles’ positions in real-time using CoreML and a Turi Create trained model. The coordinates and sizes of objects are then sent back to the computer. The Python program interprets data and draws it out in C-Space on the Tkinter canvas. Finally, the program finds the shortest path to a given destination and sends commands to the robot. If the robot or obstacles are moved, the program recalculates the path live.

  • Social Media Counter

    Inspired by an Instructables project, I built a social media counting frame to help a friend keep track of his social media followers. Using ESP8266, an Arduino-like microcontroller connected to the internet, I made a Flask API pinging Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter’s APIs.

  • Halloween Costumes

    Using sheets of mirror, I cut squares and glued them on a papier-mâché ball, and made a light-up board using Neopixels lights and the Arduino Uno microprocessor. On Halloween night, I trick-or-treated with a disco ball on my head and a light-up board on my backpack that reacted to the music coming from my phone.

  • LED Table

    I created a sound-activated LED Coffee Table. I cut and assembled the table, soldered LEDs, connected electronics parts, and programmed the Arduino board.

  • FIRST LEGO League

    I participated for two years in FIRST LEGO League, and won as a team 3rd place in robot game at the state championship final.

  • Design Thinking Contest

    I organized a STEM competition for three years for students grades 4 to 8. I designed robotics challenges for Dash and mBlock, managed schedules, hosted ceremonies, and coached judges.

Mathematics

Computer science goes hand in hand with mathematics.

  • Game of Differences

    Game of Differences

    Let there be 4 numbers a, b, c, and d. At the next round, a = |a-n|, b = |b-c|, c = |c-d|, d = |d-a|. After a finite amount of round, are we sure to end up with a = 0, b = 0, c = 0, and d = 0? What happens when we change the amount of initial numbers?

  • Lamps

    Lamps

    In Florence's house, each bulb is connected to a switch which allows it to be turned on or off, but some switches are interconnected and this causes a strange phenomenon. If we act on a switch then we also modify the state of the switches directly connected to it. If all lamps start on, is it always possible to turn them all off?

    Sequences of Harshad Numbers

    An integer is a Harshad number if it is divisible by the sum of its digits. What is the longest possible sequence of consecutives Harshad numbers?

Concepts are just ideas. Ideas lead to creation. Creation leads to change.
