Experience
Coding Instructor​, ​Code Wiz June 2019 - Present
● Have taught 20+ kids ages 6-13 ​coding fundamentals, animations, and introductory game design with
drag-and-drop coding, Tynker, and MIT App Inventor
Tran(send) It: HackHer Hackathon ​Feb ​2020
● Helped design a disability-accessible Java tutorial website using HTML and Javascript
● Aimed to make website accessible to those with visual, mobile, and learning impairments using a text to
sound feature, keyboard indexing to blocks of text, and alt tabs for word definitions
● Aimed to mitigate educational and workforce inequality for the disabled by providing an accessible
learning platform, which could be generalized into a mainstream framework
Projects
Image Manipulation​ ​Library Sept - Oct 2020 ​Javascript
● Designed and implemented a Javascript library to perform a wide range of image manipulation tasks
including mapping, filtering, and reduction
● Created and tested custom higher order functions such as map, filter, and reduce for image manipulation
● Utilized functions to implement blurring, edge highlighting, color saturation, and effect composition
Binary Search Tree Algorithm ​April 2020 ​Java
● Implemented the binary search tree interface and the self-balancing scapegoat tree data structure using
linked lists and generic data types
● Created and tested methods to balance trees, add and delete nodes, and get the minimum, maximum, or
root elements; threw exceptions when needed
● Wrote recursive methods for pre-order, post-order, and in-order traversal using the queue data structure
Fractal Imaging and Linked List Integers ​Mar 2020​ ​Java
● Used recursion to draw fractals such as Koch Curves, Trees, Sierpinski Triangles, and Sierpinski
Carpets
● Implemented a large, non-negative integer data structure using linked lists to store digits in nodes
● Wrote and tested the associated factorial, addition, and multiplication methods for the integer class
which allowed for computations with large results
