About

I am a BCIT Computer Systems Technology graduate currently seeking full-time opportunities, internships, or co-ops. With a BA in Sociology and a minor in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, I am someone with a diverse background of skills and knowledge. Since then, I have began to pursue a career in tech and have gained even more tools in the form of theory, languages, and frameworks related to the field. I am well-rounded and self-driven, with work experience and technical projects to show for my ability to excel in both individual and team environments.

Projects

Demo

Web Development

Spacestagram

Spacestagram is a React app that I created within a 3-day timespan for Shopify's Winter 2022 Front End Developer Intern Challenge. It fetches and displays images from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) API and displays them with their title, copyright information, date, and explanation in an Instagram-style format. Other features I implemented include liking/un-liking photos, a loading state with a circular indicator, infinite scrolling, and a light/dark theme toggle.

Demo

Web Development

A Playlist, Please.

This is a personal project that allows me to use Spotify's recommendations to create playlists based off a given artist or song. Spotify will usually start playing similar tracks after listening to the end of an album or playlist, but there isn't an easy way to save these tracks for later, especially if you're doing something else like driving or studying. This app solves that problem by letting you save a playlist of recommendations straight to your Spotify account. The entire app is built with React and I used the Spotify Web API for user authentication, search functionality, getting recommendations, and creating playlists.

Web Development

ElectionBuddy Billing Portal

For the BCIT ISSP (Industry Sponsored Student Projects) program, our client ElectionBuddy asked us to update their depcrecated implementation of the Stripe API for customer payments alongside creating a billing portal for customers to manage payment methods and transactions. We worked in a team of 6 within a 4-week timespan to update their existing Stripe API integration and build a customer-facing billing portal within their existing Ruby on Rails app. My focus was on updating the Stripe integration by replacing the Charges API with PaymentIntents API and adding support for multiple payment methods.

Web Development

Tiles for monday.com

I worked with a friend to create a React app for the 2021 monday Apps Challenge that allows users to see a squarified treemap visualization of their tasks. I worked mainly on the UI and tile/group display features. We were also asked by monday.com to publish Tiles on their in-app marketplace.

Web Development

Webhook Buddy

Webhook Buddy is an open-source project sponsored by our client Jobcast Media for the BCIT ISSP (Industry Sponsored Student Projects) program. The app acts as a middleman for managing and forwarding webhooks from third-party APIs when working in a local development environment. Some of the main features I worked were implementing forwarding functionality on the browser and auto-forwarding of webhooks. The tech stack was React, TypeScript, Node, Apollo, and GraphQL.

Mobile Development

Pollination

Pollination is a class project that I worked on in a team of 13. It is a system that allows users to vote in elections via Bluetooth with iOS and Android or with a Raspberry Pi touchscreen. Additionally, administrators can create/manage elections and organizations on a React web app. I worked mainly on the iOS and Android clients using React Native.

Demo

Web Development

SpotiGuesser

SpotiGuesser is a GeoGuessr-type game where a song snippet from Spotify is played and you have to guess which country the artist originates from. It was created in a team of 4 for the BC Hacks 2.0 hackathon. We developed the app in React and use Leaftlet for maps, the Spotify API to get playlist information and song previews, and the Happy API to get the artists' country of origin.

Android Development

LoCafe

LoCafe is a term project for our Android class which we developed in a team of 3. It is an app that aims to facilitate an easy way of safely reserving workspaces in cafes, libraries, or offices during the COVID-19 pandemic. The mobile app was written purely in Java with a Firebase database. We also created a web admin portal for business owners to manage their available tables and reservations.

C Development

HTTP Server

This HTTP 1.0 server was developed in a team of 3 for a class project. It handles both GET and HEAD requests to serve up static files for a minimum of 10 clients at a time. The server was written in C using sockets as IPC. We also implemented a GUI with ncurses for configuring the server with libconfig. Settings such as port number, HTML root directory, 404 page, and whether the server runs with processes or threads can all be configured.

Web Development

SafeBike

SafeBike is a Vanhacks 2019 project that works to facilitate an easier means of communication between volunteers and racers during bike races whenever racers are in need of aid. We used HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Sass, LeafletJS, OpenStreetMaps, Mapbox, and Firebase.

Web Development

Parked

Parked is a proof-of-concept web app that consolidates multiple pay-for-parking services into one. It was completed in a team of 5 as an academic project by using a Git feature branch workflow with Agile and Sprint methodologies. Tools and frameworks used included HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Sass, Mongoose, MongoDB, and LeafletJS with OpenStreetMaps.

Web Development

Campus Caterer

Campus Caterer is a simple web app that allows users to choose from a list of goals pertaining to personal health or environmental sustainability and serves results for the most suitable food outlets to the user based on their goals. This was an academic project completed with 2 classmates that acted as an introduction to web development concepts such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Firebase, as well as project management concepts such as GitHub, Agile, and Sprint.
