My Final Project
I created a HTML/CSS page that allows for user input of a background color. Based on the background color that you chose, I dynamically render the page. Based on the user input, I also run a trained ML algorithm (deep neural net) using binary classification to determine the best font that would stand out from the background.

How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?)
I built and constructed my neural network first using python and modules like numpy. I decided to go through the math, so I avoided ML libraries like TensorFlow. After training my model, I decided I should create an interface for users. In order to build this interface, I created a simple HTML page with dynamic CSS through JavaScript. I update real time using AJAX requests via JQuery. Then I pass the data to the server backend, PHP which runs the python script for the model via command line. Then the server responds to the user with their text color.
I never knew that PHP can run python scripts which I found was really cool. This was also one of my first times using WAMP Server to test my full-stack website.
Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories
I think this is a great example of how machine learning shouldn't be used. ML is not lightweight, so it cannot be used everywhere. If anything, a mathematical equation for RGB can determine the color, but I did this merely out of excitement and practice. Hope you enjoy it!
Happy Graduation Class of 2020!
