Snake Game
2023 • HTML, CSS, JavaScript
Developed in an effort to improve my understanding of JavaScript and teach a younger sibling about the simple joys of "Snake". I used a tutorial to get started with the general layouts and potential functionality of the game, Then, I worked on improving the game, design, and functionality and added new features. I chose to keep the screen of the game itself small as an ode to the old tiny Nokia screens. The project, although not the most complicated code I have written, was enjoyable to develop and helped me feel a lot more comfortable with JavaScript.
PricePeek
2024 • Python, Next.js, TypeScript • Amishi, Charvi, Dorna, Julie
PricePeek was a team project developed during the Hack the Burgh 2024 hackathon. We wanted to work on a tool that would support users during the cost of living crisis. PricePeek allows users to compare the costs of household items across different stores, providing the opportunity to purchase items at lower prices. The user would have an account, which would keep track of favorite products and shopping lists. The user can search for specific types of products and get an output of different stores and the prices of those products in the stores. I worked on the design and branding, as well as the front-end of the website.
SustainEd
2023 • HTML, CSS, JavaScript • Amishi, Dorna, Oishani
SustainEd was a team project developed during my first hackathon (Hack the Burgh 2023). None of us had any experience with web development, nor had used HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. The challenge was to work towards implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. SustainEd was a website promoting sustainability to students by providing incentives and more accessible resources. When shopping at sustainable shops, you would collect points which could then be exchanged for different rewards. The eco map showed the locations of water fountains, donation spots, and recycling bins. The marketplace would allow students to resell items that are normally disposed of at the end of an academic year. My main focus was the map and rewards sections and the design.
Previous Portfolio
2023 • HTML, CSS, JavaScript
This portfolio website was my first attempt at coding a webpage from scratch by myself. Throughout completing this project, I was able to develop my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills, better understand responsive design, and challenge myself creatively. I wanted to show more than just my work but aspects of my hobbies and likes throughout the portfolio. Inspired by a love for movies and TV shows, the design was based on the interfaces of popular streaming services. Although I am proud of this version of the portfolio, a refresh using my newly developed skills was needed.
Data Science Project
2023 • Python • Foundations of Data Science
"What Makes a Movie Successful?" was the final coursework of the Foundations of Data Science in which I explored a data set on movies from IMDb. Throughout this project, I had to visualize the data, apply techniques from descriptive and inferential statistics and machine learning, interpret and describe the output from the analysis, create a compelling story, and then write a report in LaTeX. I wanted to explore how the success of a movie is measured and whether any factors can help predict if a movie will be successful. Some of the techniques I used included the random forest algorithm and the k-nearest neighbor algorithms.
