About Me

I'm a third year computer science student at UNC Chapel Hill who has a passion for software development, building computers, UNC basketball and football, and outdoor adventures. This page is a showcase of my experience, interests, and passion projects. This semseter, I'm continuing to work with many people at App Team Carolina and The Daily Tar Heel as a SWE.

Experience

App Team Carolina

Backend Developer

September 2024 - Present

App Team is a fast-paced environment that runs like a company, using industry standard practices and Agile methodologies. At App Team, I work on engineering backend solutions (and dabble in writing Swift code), for the Centible App on one of our Startup Teams. Centible is a financing app built by students, for students. By linking your bank(s) with Plaid, you can categorize your transactions and track your spending habits.

Skills & Tools: Agile Methodologies, Plaid API, Xcode, Swift, Node,js, JavaScript, Firebase, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Cloud Functions

The Daily Tar Heel

Software Engineer

September 2024 - Present

Last Fall, I started working for The Daily Tar Heel as a Software Engineer! I work with my team to support the writing desks of The Daily Tar Heel. Right now, I'm working with a few of my teammates to create a brand new end-to-end crossword page for the DTH website. Last semester, we built a real-time web application serving an interactive map of NC for coverage of the November '24 NC state elections.

The Daily Tar Heel's website receives between 150,000 - 200,000 users a month, so I'm excited to be working on products that have such a profound impact on my University's community.

Skills used: Firebase, React, JavaScript, Firestore, Python

Projects

Panther Plates

ShellHacks Winner - Best First-Time Hackers

September 2024

Panther Plates is a web application that enables all students at FIU to have easy access to dietary information that takes their needs, culture, and health conditions into account. With only two people, my partner and I were able to build something that has a real impact in a little over 24 hours. Even with two 12-hour overnight drives, almost no sleep, and copious amounts caffeine, it was a great time!

Built with: Python, JavaScript, React, Flask, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, MongoDB, OpenAI API

PCPlanner

May 2024 - August 2024

After building multiple computers, budgeting for each component was tedious and took hours of research. I created a large database of components, designed an algorithm, and made use of ChatGPT's 4o model to make this process seamless and instantaneous.

Built with: Python, TypeScript, Angular, Django REST Framework, ChatGPT API

CSXL Roster Management

March 2024 - May 2024

Worked with a team of four that implemented new features for the Computer Science Experience Lab's website as part of a class project. Our feature elevated the relationship between students and the organizations they are a part of.

Built with: TypeScript, Python, Angular, SQLAlchemy, Fast API
