About Me
I'm a senior at Harvard College, passionate about technology and creating an equitable space within tech.
I’m currently an undergraduate student at Harvard studying astrophysics and computer science. I’ve always been passionate about science and technology, and in the last couple of years I’ve been focusing on creating positive impact on society with technology.
My passion lies in technological products that are designed to help solve specific problems for users. I’m invested in learning about their impact on an individual and societal level and thinking about how I can personally contribute to addressing their pain points. I’ve exhibited these interests through my experience in product management, project management, data analysis, app development, and UI/UX design.
Outside of my normal hours of staring at bugs on my Xcode project, making pretty plots on Jupyter Notebook, and creating fun prototypes on Figma, I’m a professional cafe-hopper and Swiftie.
Projects
iOS app in development
I'm currently building an iOS app that I am super excited about! I've learned so much about the MVVM architecture and SwiftUI after taking a break from mobile app development for a few years and I'm so happy to get back into developing something truly for the sake of it. I cannot wait to share this passion project, which focuses on mental health and self-care, with the world soon 🙂
Python plugin for glue
I debugged and added features to support the plotly plugin to export interactive figures rendered from glue, which is a Python library developed by my research advisor, used to create graphs that link multiple datasets. Some of the features I added were the error bars, color bars, histograms, and 3D figures.
Data visualization of globular clusters
This was my first independent research project that I conducted after my freshman year. I ran simulations using Harvard's largest computing cluster and used Python to plot and run machine learning algorithms. Not only did I improve my coding and physics skills, but I also gained significant expertise in data analysis, data visualization, and machine learning.
Harvard Crimson landing page
In my time as a Web Design Editor at the Harvard Crimson, our student newspaper, I designed the current landing page using Figma, drawing inspiration from popular web newspaper sources.
