Hi, my name is

Allwyn Thomas.

Software Engineer

I build full-stack web applications, machine learning systems, and real-time collaborative tools. Based in NJ, open to NYC metro opportunities.

About Me

I'm a Computer Science major with an Information Technology minor at NJIT's Albert Dorman Honors College, holding a 3.95 GPA. My coursework spans web development, data structures & algorithms, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and databases.

I'm driven by building software that solves real problems — whether that's training neural networks to play Pictionary, engineering real-time collaborative whiteboards deployed on AWS, or designing secure e-commerce platforms from the ground up. I write clean code, ship working products, and thrive in team environments.

Projects

Generative AI Pictionary

Problem: Build an application that meaningfully leverages generative AI.

Solution: Created a Pictionary-style drawing and guessing game where a player competes against an AI opponent. Trained CNN models for drawing recognition and GAN models for AI drawing generation using Google's Quick Draw dataset.

Result: An AI opponent that can both recognize player drawings and generate its own — all powered by custom-trained neural networks.

Jewelry Store E-Commerce

Problem: Design and build a complete e-commerce platform with authentication and role-based access control.

Solution: Built a full-stack jewelry store website with JWT authentication, separate user and admin roles, order management workflows, and a MariaDB-backed product catalog.

Result: A fully functional e-commerce experience with secure authentication, role-based dashboards, and database-driven inventory management.
