Code slinger in the digital frontier.
Howdy! I'm Brandt Ousley, a driven computer science student at the University of South Florida, graduating may 11th, 2025.
When I'm not at my desk coding, you'll find me helping friends study, launching innovative projects, or exploring new places.

Co-Led development of a full-stack healthcare web app using React.js, Express, and PostgreSQL, featuring user authentication, dynamic patient dashboards, and database integration with 8 relational tables and 20+ custom SQL queries including a trigger for unique ID generation
Developed a Wi-Fi-controlled PWM system for a 12V DC motor (fan) using a TI microcontroller, ESP32 Wi-Fi module, Bluetooth terminal app, 2x16 LCD screen, and H-bridge motor driver, with embedded C programming to control motor speed via a smartphone app and display real-time speed updates on the LCD screen
Developed a full-featured Unix shell in C with command parsing, built-in commands (cd, exit, path), output redirection, parallel execution, path resolution, and robust error handling using low-level system calls
Designed and programmed a mobile robot to autonomously reach a goal while avoiding obstacles using PID control and the Bug Zero algorithm. The system integrated real-time camera and LIDAR sensor data in a Webots simulation environment, enabling the robot to detect objects, switch between goal-seeking and wall-following behaviors, and navigate complex mazes from any starting position
Beyond code and circuits, I express myself through music and adventures. Below you'll find some of my favorite tunes that fuel my creativity and glimpses of places that have shaped my perspective.
