ABOUT

My passion for mathematics and natural sciences emerged from an early age. During my high school years, my attention was captivated by the fascinating world of computer science. Its intricate practicality and boundless potential endlessly drew me in. Today, my focus lies primarily on fullstack and iOS app development within the dynamic realm of software engineering.

Recognizing the immense value of mathematical economics in today's highly technical industries, I am fully aware of its remarkable advantages. By seamlessly integrating computer science and economics, we gain the power to effectively analyze, comprehend, and represent data and behavioral patterns within this thriving sector. Moreover, this harmonious fusion empowers us to navigate the industry's intricacies with remarkable efficiency and accuracy.

PROJECTS

Focus Android App---

April 2024

My partner and I created an android app that uses phone screen time to provide stats to the user. The user will be able to control their app usage, set focus times, and track the amount of time they spend on each app usage. The main goal is to help users limit their phone usage time so that they can become more productive. In the day and age we live in, it is hard to find a young person who can spend more than 2 hours without touching their phone. This app will help young people, and older, to build healthy phone usage habits. A phone is a great tool for success. It can very easily become a great tool for destruction. Pun intended.

Cleaning Robot Fleet Management Simulation---

March 2024

I modeled a real-time, scalable robot management system in modern C++ that utilizes multithreading to simultaneously assign real-time operations, within an agile team of four, using GitHub for version control. I also systematically applied unit testing using Catch2 to ensure robust error handling across different platforms.

Stripe Integrated E-Commerce Store Certification---

July 2023

I proficiently developed and implemented a fully functional e-commerce store utilizing Node.js, JavaScript, and HTML, seamlessly integrating it with the Stripe API. I managed to successfully leverage the Stripe API to enable secure and efficient payment processing within the e-commerce store. This gave me the opportunity to demonstrated strong technical skills and understanding of web development principles, API integration and the ability to learn technical skills quickly

Customized Search Engine ---

June 2023

I made a customized search engine that is restricted to the Richmond VA area. On this search engine, a user types in a search which is sent to a Google Search Engine API and returns the title, snippet, and URL of each search result. The search results are then saved on a Firebase database.

My Portfolio ---

May 2023

I made this personal portfolio to display my skills, projects and general information. In addition to the additional practice, this is to have more information about myself that my resume might not contain.

Computer Design ---

April 2023

I designed a program that converts Assembly instructions into binary code and store them in a file. I then built the processor (Control, ALU, RAM, ROM) that processes the binary instructions using Logisim-evolution and implemented device drivers for terminal, monitor, keyboard, joystick, and soundcard to mimic real world I/O. I tested.

GITHUB

Memory Game ---

June 2022

I made a webapp game with memory tiles. Upon pressing, each tile plays a particular sound frequency and shows an image of an animal. Each time, the game generates a random sequence of the tiles that the user has to memorize and play back in order to win.

Economic Data Representation ---

April 2022

I made a program that collects and cleans up world data on gdp per capita, unemployment, and electricity supply (per capita). The program then plots this data on a scatter plot using plotly. The scatter diagram shows the data of each country as a circles of varying sizes that depend on the data. In addition, I created a simple welcome page for this program.
