Caden White Capstone

It has been about 6 weeks and my team has gotten it feet wet with our project, ML breakout. ML breakout is a project aimed at recreating Atari’s breakout using unity and then adding machine learning to this project making it such that a player could play an artificial intelligence or just play breakout as it was.

Since the first blog post we’ve worked on numerous paper’s explaining what this project is, why were perusing this project and how we plan on achieving it. These have been very beneficial for us as this has allowed us to create a clear outline for our project and our team has handled these very well. While these have been good for us in defining our project we have been wanting to get into the project and luckily we have V 0.0.1 upcoming so we well soon be able to start creating. Cant wait to see how it turns out.

Hey, my name is Caden and I’m a senior computer science major living in Corvallis, Oregon. One of my biggest hobbies has been soccer where I played for about 15 years, both competitively through high school and club and still play to this day. I’ve also been an avid video game player with my most played game as Destiny 2 and have watched numerous tv shows and anime.

I first got started with computers and software when I originally did a summer camp back in middle school where we did some basic Minecraft modding. I enjoyed this class quite a bit and luckily there were more summer camps like them and I took quite a few more at a place called Silicon Stem Academy. At Silicon I took many of there classes and around high school I would go on to work for them teaching the same classes that I took. Because of this I realized that I enjoyed working in tech and wanted to pursue it. After this I would go to Oregon state, where I’m going into my senior year after only 2 years and with a 3.68 GPA.
