Learning the concepts of software development, hardware applications, and mathematics through project-based learning.
Was introduced to the theory and application of science, software, and technology at large.
Chess
I have been playing and enjoying chess
for many years, becoming the Vice
President of the Queen's University
Chess Club. I love the game's
competitiveness and flair!
Music
Music has always brought me a lot of joy, I have always
enjoyed listening to music as well as playing it. I have been in
multiple school bands as a drummer and guitarist, such as
orchestra and jazz.
An interactive web application to provide
participants with information about a chess
tournament and the ability ot sign up.
The front end was made with Bootstrap and EJS
and the backend was made with Node and Express
with the database of schools held in MongoDB Atlas.
For this project, I acted as lead developer and project
manager, as I brought together a group of developers to
design and implement the website over 2 months. We worked
with a strict deadline and budget.
A demo mobile application that receives audio files of
phone calls, transcribes them, and uses a custom AI model
to determine the likelihood of the call being a scam.
The app was made with a flutter front-end, and a google firebase
database. The AI model was developed with TensorFlow.
This project was developed in 36 hours for the Queen's University
Hackathon, QHacks. I was in charge of front-end design and routing
audio files from the user's phone to the app to the database, as seen
in this demo.
A mobile application for sharing tools among
users in nearby communities.
I am currently developing this app as a general
member of the Queen's Software Team. The project
has taught me the concepts of mobile development
with Flutter, with a focus on front-end design.
A simple web game demo based on guessing the initial
prompts for AI-generated images. Made using
OpenAI's Dalle API interfaced with Node and Express.
Through developing this project I learned the basics of
API calls and using them in a full stack context.
A personal portfolio website made entirely with HTML and CSS. This is one of the first projects I made and it taught me the basics of responsive front end development and using version control for solo projects.
