About Me
From crafting furniture out of cardboard boxes to designing beautiful apps, my love for creating tangible products to solve problems is at the core of what I do. Despite coming from a low-income background, my love for creating enjoyable and practical experiences drives me. As a Computer Science major at Yale University and head photographer of Yale's largest fashion club, Maison at Yale, I'm committed to creating beautiful, practical, and most importantly, helpful visual experiences. When I'm not building an app, I'm either designing a flyer for social events at Yale or spending time making interesting compositions by taking photos with my camera. Since the harmony between design and technology permeates everything I do, I decided to study design and technology in Tokyo, Japan for one year on the prestigious Yale Richard U. Light Fellowship.
I am currently seeking internships for early and mid 2024 in Tokyo, Japan and a summer 2024 internship in USA.

Coding Projects
YCal
A calendar scheduling web application geared towards Yale students. Allows students to add the classNamees they are taking to their calendar, schedule their days, and mark events with specific tags such as club meetings, office hours, and social time with friends, along with Yale-specific locations! Includes a social friending system, where students can add their friends and view their availability along with what courses their friends are taking. The application also helps students find the best time for when their group gets together by analyzing everyone’s calendar.
Hole in the Wall
Hole in the Wall is an interactive video game using Microsoft Kinect sensors to track joint position data in real time. A virtual sprite, that also updates in real time, is reflected on the screen. The objective is to fit your sprite into the randomly generated hole on the screen.
Closet
Closet is an all-in-one social media App for sharing, managing, and selling your wardrobe. After having tried various closet manager applications, I realized that most of them take excessive friction to both import and upkeep your closet in the virtual space. By making a closet manager into a social media that prompts users to take a photo of their outfit every day, it becomes possible to track your wardrobe with minimal effort. Furthermore, Closet provides a marketplace to get rid of what you don't need and continue to share what you frequently wear with your friends. This application is currently being implemented application using Swift, MongoDB Atlas and the TensorFlow object detection API.
