This repository contains coursework and projects for ECE270: C++ Computer Methods I. The course provides a foundational introduction to C++ programming, data structures, algorithms, and computational problem-solving for engineering applications.

My journey into programming and computer vision began thanks to Professor Watta, whose instruction and encouragement inspired me to pursue these fields. For my final project, I implemented Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in C++ for a crude face recognition system. While my initial implementation was not mathematically perfect, this project marked the beginning of my trajectory in machine learning and computer vision.

Using C++, I attempted to apply PCA for basic face recognition. The process involved extracting principal components from a set of facial images and projecting new faces onto this basis for identification. Although my implementation had flaws, it was a formative experience that sparked my interest in the intersection of programming and AI.
