Westminster University Class of '26, Honors Student and Double Major in Computer Science and Mathematics

I'm a current student at Westminster University studying Computer Science and Mathematics as a double major. I am also part of the Honors College, First Scholars (First Generation College student) program, and have been on the Dean's List for all four of my semesters.

I've been an intern for both Ken Garff in their Data and Analytics Department and RanLife Home Loans in their Software Developer Department. I've also worked in the Mathematics, Computer Science, and Physics Tutoring Lab in the Giovale Library on Campus and as an Undergraduate Research Assistant.

I also volunteer at Oakwood Elementary's Chess Club as an instructor and Co-Director. There I sometimes run the club and manage all of the student volunteers. I have also been working on ChessWeb to automate updating ratings and pairings which save 4+ hours a week of the director's time.

Research Projects I've worked on as undergraduate research:

• The Official Westminster University's Computer Science Department Discord Server with Dr. Helen Hu
• Problems and solutions guides for Module 2 and Module 4 on A Quantitative Reasoning for Social Justice Active Learning Textbook with Dr. Bianca Thompson
• Circuit diagram drawing and modeling software for CMPT 328 with Shreeya Maskey and Dr. Kathryn Lenth

Some Things I've Worked/Working On Independently

• This website! This is currently made in PHP with HTML, CSS, and JS.
• ChessWeb: A Django webapp for the Oakwood Elementary's Chess Club which uses a SQLite database to hold player information such as their name and rating (ELO). This program uses a greedy algorithm to pair players based on their rating and updates their ratings based on the result of their previous games. You can find the code on my GitHub, it's in pre-release!

• I recently acquired a server that I plan to configure as two separate systems: one dedicated to network-attached storage (NAS) and the other hosting multiple Docker containers for my various web applications. The NAS will provide centralized storage for all my family's photos and videos to be stored, uploaded, and accessed on any authorized device. The containerized section will have different docker containers for any projects I'm working on. For instance, I will set up an Apache server container for hosting PHP-based websites (like this one), another container for Django projects (ChessWeb), and a third for React/Angular applications.
• A Java project using a MySQL Database to simulate the process of gene passing through breeding and random mutation. This allows the user to create and breed animals to see find out the genotype of the parents by looking at the phenotype of both the parents and offspring. Currently, this project needs to be integrated with the database.

Nerdy and Proud of It

While I was growing up, I played Chess at Oakwood Elementary's Chess Club and also got into video games like Pokemon and Zelda. I got into CS because of modding my 3DS for my pokemon save file and retro emulation with Raspberry Pi. As of now, I still play video games after a long day, my go to comfort game has been Dave the Diver and FFVII Rebirth.

A Hopeful Full Stack Developer in the Making!

At the moment, I've made applications using the LAMP stack and Django Stack. I actually coded my final project using a LAMP stack which was later turned into a Django project, aka ChessWeb. I've also experimented with React with CircuitCraft. Currently, I'm learning Angular and NestJS for KGA.

I've also worked on projects in Java, Python, C, Rust, PHP. And set up linux servers with Appache or Unbuntu and even did SMS on raspberry pies!
