ABOUT

Hello!

Hello! I am a fourth-year computer science undergraduate student at CSUF. I am an ambitious programmer exploring the paths of software engineering and/or data science. I grew a big interest in studying and working with tech thanks to how much technology has changed the world. I also love challenging myself to conquer problems using quantitative and logical thinking. As I go through the struggles of earning my degree and building my career, I want to use this story to inspire others that they can accomplish anything they imagine through patience and drive.

As a highly motivated and cooperative candidate, I am actively searching for entry-level software developer/data scientist positions.

PROJECTS

Automatic Sprinkler

March 2021 - April 2021

In a team of 7, we implemented a terminal-based software through object-oriented programming with C++. It simulates the software of an automatic sprinkler machine where it can water plants at a prefered time of the day based on user input. As the leader of the software team, I conducted weekly meetings on Discord to discuss various ideas and bugs needed to be addressed in this project.

CS-BS Website

March 2021 - March 2021

This project was tackled by a team of 3 during a hackathon held at CSUF called Tuffy Hacks. During this event, we desigend and deployed a static website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript for CSUF computer science students struggling with their classes. This website contains an HTML grid providing useful links to all computer science courses to supplement student's knowledge when taking the class.

Rock, Paper, Scissors Game

July 2021 - July 2021

This is a Python game requiring users to turn on their face cams to play rock, paper, scissors against the computer. I utilized OpenCV to display colorful images and text on the screen, serving as the user interface. I also utilized MediaPipe so the program can detect hand gestures and identify whether the user is holding up a rock, paper, or scissor.

Flushy Website

February 2022 - May 2022

This website allows users to find the nearest restrooms according to their location. This is done in a team of 7 members using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Firebase, and Maptiler API. In this project, I was responsible for the mockup and design of the login/sign in pages. I used Google Firebase Authentication to store user information in our backend when a new account is created.

EXPERIENCE

Instructional Lab Assistant - California State University, Fullerton

August 2020 - December 2021

I assisted online lab sessions of 20-30 students in various computer science courses including Introduction to C++ and Object-Oriented Programming by debugging their code and clarifying confusing concepts. I would manage time outside of lab hours if students needed additional help by planning voice calls on Discord to answer further questions. As a result, I boosted class productivity as more students better understood C++ to complete their assignments on time.

Professional Development Chair - Theta Tau, Phi Epsilon Chapter

August 2021 - May 2022

To give some background, Theta Tau at CSUF is a co-ed professional engineering fraternity that values three pillars: Brotherhood, Professionalism, and Service. As a member of the professional development chair, I am responsible for engaging our brothers into professional development events by reaching out to outside organizations and organizing my own workshops within this fraternity. As a result, our members enhanced their confidence and knowledge for career preparation for the tech industry.
