<h3>Constructable</h3>
<p>
Developed at LA Hacks 2020, Construtable is an Android/iOS app that aims to impact the
construction industry with a revolutionary product that increases productivity,
collaboration, and management.
<br /><br />
With a team, we built Constructable with Adobe XD's UI Kit and a React Native frontend with
Material Design Practices. For the backend, we used Python (Flask) and MongoDB Atlas for
easy image caching, scalability and flexible No-SQL structure.
For testing, we developed data schema through the Mongo DB, and we also used Postman to
create test queries (for the backend team to use while front end was being developed).
We created backend analytics with Python's Pandas, Seaborn and MatPlotLib to integrate
data-driven features. We also used Twilio API for fast and quick communication /
notifications.
Deployed Flask server to Google App Engine for scalability and optimized React Native for
both Android and iOS.

<h3>Choices</h3>
<p>
Developed at CalHacks 2019, Choices is an Android and iOS app which recommends menu items
for the user to try at a restaurant based on a calulcated inference of their taste pallete
and popular items for the restaurant gathered from Yelp and Google Reviews.
<br /><br />
As the project manager, I distributed roles to the rest of my team members and made sure the
project was coming along cohesively. I was also responsible for developing the app in React
Native and gathering the necessary user data to the recommendation algorithm / the menu
scanning algorithm in Python. I used a simple web scraper to gather the Yelp review data and
used the Google Cloud Platform to gather Google Reviews data from the user's location. Then
I used Google NLP's Sentiment Analysis API to gather if the user liked the item or not.
Lastly, I handled the publishing of the Flask server to a Google App Engine instance
primarily to improve the well-known shortcomings of the development Flask server.

<h3>Close Cash</h3>
<p>
Winning the "Best Financial Hack" at HackRice9, CloseCash is a MERN (MongoDB, Express,
React, Node.JS) web application optimized for mobile platforms allowing a user hat need
close cash to match with tellers that are ranked in a list based on location and amount of
cash on hand. The application consists of a receiver and teller interface, your most recent
transaction, and a ranked search for the closest teller.
<br><br>
I worked on the back-end and data integration. Working with the APIs and the MongoDB
database was tough especially since it was my first time with this stack, but I got it done
and learned a lot. I utilized Capital One's API to create and use customer ids to make
transactions in the application. Additionally, I implemented the Google Maps API to find a
user's location for a searching and ranking algorithm. Lastly, we made heavy use of
Passport.js, Sessions, Cookies, and Axios to secure user data and communicate between
multiple servers.

<h3>Contest Management System</h3>
<p>
In this project, which I did for my Computer Science UIL region in high school, I built a
local web tool to handle local computer science contests. The tool we previously had was
hard to set up, judge with, and count points and I was approached by many other schools
asking me to let them use my project in their contest.
<br /><br />
To make the tool secure, I learned how to make prepared statements with PHP and MySQL so
that the data couldn't be compromised and properly handle authentication. In order to get
the Java files that students submitted to compile securely, I had to learn how to take
advantage of shell execute methods with PHP. In the future, I will be looking to revamp this
whole project in Node.JS to take advantage of its vast open-source tooling and use a
front-end framework in order to lessen styling headaches

<h3>Flappy Bird 2.0</h3>
<p>
I used Java to create this really fun desktop GUI application in which a bird tries to fly
through pipes. This is similar to the original game except I revamped this to an alien/space
theme. There are two modes to this game: FreePlay and Campaign. In the FreePlay mode, the
player is just trying to get a high score with a UFO shooting at him. The Campaign mode is
similar except after you get past 20 pipes, the boss alien comes down and tries to kill you
in shooter combat.
<br /> <br />
Creating the Boss and UFO AI was the hardest part of the project. By predicting user actions
and responding appropriately, I was able to code a difficult AI which is hard to beat.
Everything was custom drawn with JPanel so drawing the pipes and the characters was also a
bit of a challenge.
<br /><br />
Please download it and play a game or two!

<h3>Project Now</h3>
<p>
Project Now, a MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.JS ) website, is in development...
<br /><br />
Project Now is an upcoming website that allows young student developers to find projects
that they might
like to do for practice. Someone posts a project with appropriate technical
specifications and then student developers upvote the project submits their final
solution. The project poster can either accept/deny the proposed solution and even
comment on it to start a conversation. There would be some monetary reward correlated to
the number of upvotes a post gets to incentivice people to post projects on the site.

<h3>IGN Code Foo 9</h3>

IGN Code Foo 9 was a challenge that IGN put out to find interns for their 2019 summer
recruiting season (https://www.ign.com/code-foo/2019). I was 17 at the time so I
couldn't participate but I did some of the projects jut for fun anyways. I completed the
witcher challenge (an algorithm challenge) using Java, the front-end challenge
(replicating IGN's website) with simple HTML, CSS and JavaScript and the back-end
challenge (replicating IGN's database schema and plugging in the CSV data) with MySQL.

<h3>Steel Scout</h3>
<p>
Steel Scout was a mobile application that was used in my FRC team 5427 to scout teams in
competitions. This improves upon our previous method of scouting (Google Forms) because
it provides in-built data analytics and a pick list.
<br /><br />
As a project manager, I assigned roles to everyone in the team and created spec sheets.
I made a design doc and decided upon the software stack for this project. The front-end
was React Native to provide cross-platform functionality and the backend was Firebase.
One of the challenges in this app was getting React Native to integrate with Firebase
efficiently because the react-native-firebase library was really buggy at first.
