Selected work
A web platform for an ICU unit in Nepal that supports fundraising, medical education, and staff administration. The site allows users to donate to critical care services while giving nurses access to training materials and resources.
My senior project involved developing a web platform that works to expand access to quality healthcare in underserved regions. Administrative controls were implemented so staff can manage content, oversee donations, and maintain a centralized, scalable tool to support both operational and educational needs.
A web app that creates Spotify playlists from the weekly KVSC Top 30 NACC chart. It uses scraping and the Spotify API, then provides a correlation matrix for audio features like danceability and energy.
A daily thought portal for long-distance couples built with React.js and Node.js. The platform logs daily thoughts and moods with MongoDB storage, Netlify frontend deployment, and Render web services.
A production project where I served as one of the main mixing and mastering engineers for KVSC's Monday Night Live CD. I also operated the on-air studio board for the live show recordings.
A website created to track the progress of the Farlands Speedrun. I assisted with database design, schema creation, and implementation of the site's tracking features.
