Rex Gonzalez

Hello! My name is Rex Gonzalez, and I am currently a junior at the University of South Florida studying Computer Science with a minor in math. My technical skills include Python, C/C++, and HTML/CSS. With these skills I was able to create a USF AI Chatbot for Academic Planning by developing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) AI chatbot program that Gemma 3 by way of Ollama which used a data base of JSON-based course flowcharts and live class data to deliver personalized schedule recommendations based on academic year, major, and semester. I also have some experience in computer vision and machine learning developing for the ASME Student Design Competition which a computer vision based ball bearing sorting system as a potential alternative to mechanical design where I helped train a YOLO model using Ultralytics and integrated OpenCV for real-time detection using our own custom dataset.
