JP Morgan Hackathon
In 2018, I competed in JP Morgan's Code for Good hackathon that
involved creating an app for two local non-profits in the Delaware
area. I, along with 5 other teammates, created a responsive web app
for Good Will of Delaware to help them increase cash donations and
find creative ways to thank their donors. Using the
Ionic framework, I mostly worked
on the front end and designed the application to encourage donations
through gamification and also be very user friendly for all age
groups. I had a fun time learning how to use the
Ionic framework and also using
Sass and
TypeScript to style the app.
After staying up for over 30 hours straight we presented in front of
10 JP Morgan senior executives and actually ended up winning the
whole competition!
Smart Mirror
Probably the coolest out of all my projects, is a smart mirror that
I am making after winning a few of the materials at a hackathon.
Using an old monitor I had, a
Raspberry Pi, and lots of
YouTube videos I made a cool customizable smart mirror for my
friend's 21st birthday gift. Along with that the mirror can be
activated using a
Google Home Mini I also won at a
hackathon. In terms of hardware this was hard as hell for me since I
have no knowledge of how circuits worked and also never used a power
saw before. Software wise, it is pretty much just this video
right here. I will be posting a YouTube video of the whole process, so stay
tuned for that!
Personal Website
This portfolio website is actually the first side project I have
ever completed so it is quite the milestone for me. Following my
favorite tutorial YouTuber, Traversy Media, I learned the basics of
Sass and how great of an editor
VS Code is. This project was
made using good old HTML and
JavaScript, mixed with Sass.
Along with the basic static information, I added the
particles.js library to create
the front page. For the animations, I used animate.css and wow.js to make the animations be played once the user scrolls it an element. The most annoying part was definitely making the
whole website was responsive because I knew most of my friends would
look at this on their phone. Aside from that, I also learned how to
use Github properly too.
OwlHacks 2019 Winner
Produced a webpage that allowed avid volunteers to post their skills and offer their services to event organizers,schools, or clubs. This was Temple University's first hackathon and was only 12 hours, but was run extremely well. The webpage isn't that much, however I actually mentored two of my classmates in web developement and they learned a lot about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Day in the Life Video
A small video I made of my time in Boston interning at MassMutual. It was one of the best summers of my life and I can't wait to go back when I graduate. I made endless memories in the beautiful city and made lifelong friends I still keep in touch with today. I also made one of my favorite projects here, which was a custom virtual giftcard to everyone I worked with. Thanks MassMutual!
