This started as a fun way to learn new technologies such as
MongoDB and Google Cloud. During my summer internship at Madrona
Venture Labs, I worked on a project using AWS's DynamoDB. DynamoDB
uses NoSQL, a database design I particularly liked. After doing
some research, I found MongoDB to be a nice free alternative to
DynamoDB and wanted to make something with it. I also wanted to
learn how to host my website with Google Cloud, which I was
successfully able to do until my free credits ran out. I currently
host it using Render.com since it is free (albeit slow). I decided
to use OpenStreetMap as the API to get the map data since that is
what Pokemon GO used. I am currently tinkering on the project
during weekly CSeed Buildspace club meetings where I hope to
integrate an ML model for generating restaurant, attraction,
event, etc. suggestions based on posts by users and their friends.
During one of my first classes in college, I noticed taking
attendance was a time-consuming process that was also prone to
error. Other people in my life had also expressed this problem so
a fellow UW CS student and I created this web app. It uses QR
codes to take attendance, which gets rid of the need for paper and
manual entry.

This was a fun class project for CSE 333. It organizes files in a
directory into data structures and processes queries to output to
the user. I worked with the POSIX API as well as network
communication. As a bonus feature, I implemented a random search
button that would open a random file in the directory.
January 2023 - March 2023
This was a class project for CSE 331. A user inputs a start and
end location and the web app outputs the shortest path between the
two locations. I learned how to use React Leaflet and implemented
bonus features such as adding location markers displaying
coordinates.

During high school, I was a captain and member of my school's
Science Olympiad team. I studied science topics from physics to
biology to computer science and placed first at state and national
competitions (MIT, SoCal) for events such as Code Analysis and
Wright Stuff.
