I am an early career software engineering professional committed to making a positive impact through growing technologies and new platforms while navigating my understanding of how to harness data to empower one's work.

Whether it’s scraping files to diagnose a system's health or testing the beta version of Streamlit for a refined representation of machine learning model performances, the drive to expand my knowledge brings me great excitement! I love connecting with people in the industry with a bold vision for a project and in need of some strong minds to reinforce it. I am open to discussions about how I can become a valuable asset to your team.

App: USC Classmate Finder

Projects

Built an app with 2 friends using Layered Architecture, aimed at helping students find and connect with classmates enrolled in engineering courses at USC. Users should be able to add/enroll for classes from a list of courses. The students can even chat with classmates who are enrolled in the same classes as them.

They can also see reviews for classes, which helps them decide which courses they would be interested in. Similarly, you could leave a review to help future students make decisions.

Game: Minesweeper

Implemented the logic of the game Minesweeper. If you click on the digging tool at the bottom the flag mode is activated allowing you to place flags on blocks you believe have bombs. You can switch back to digging mode by clicking the flag.

If you place all the flags on the blocks where the bombs are you reach a landing page indicating you won and showing how much time it took you. If you dig a bomb you are also directed to the landing page indicating you lost and how many seconds you played the game.

Website: Movie Lookup

This website allows users to search for movies. I used AJAX to access endpoints of The Movie DB API. The project involved creating DOM nodes, using Bootstrap to help format the page, and reading API documentation. This app is adopted for use on all sizes of devices.

Website: Art Display

This website displays my art interests and gives basic information on each style. It contains a collage of a few of my favorite art pieces. As a whole, it allowed me to play with different design features.
