I'm a software developer and May 2022 graduate of the University of
Southern California. My interests, education, and work experience
span across multiple disciplines and industries. The diversity of my
pursuits informs how I critically engage with everything around me.
I view and make sense of the world in terms of systems, and I
continually find myself attracted to the ways technology interacts
with, complicates, and simplifies human systems.
As a student of art and design, my approach to software development
fuses the fundamentals of engineering with my understanding of
visual communication. Principles of design not only inform my
aesthetics and UI for user-engagement, but also provide me with
broader frameworks for logically structuring software that is
modular and efficient.
Whether my project entails navigating through lines of code in an
algorithm to debug and refactor, or inspecting brushwork and
geometry to extract a painting’s underlying ink-sketch, I employ a
skillset and process that’s shared across my pursuits: methodically
decompose the problem, compartmentalize its parts, reconstruct
individual components, and synthesize to reach a solution.
My interdisciplinary lens allows me to see connections in additional
ways outside of the traditional CS discipline, enhancing my
abilities to problem-solve, learn new technologies, and communicate
with diverse audiences.

Project Description: Personally built full stack web application
which provides a platform for college student artists to showcase
artworks, represent their schools, and accrue followings through
social engagement with other artists, curators, collectors, and
everyday art consumers. Used Ruby on Rails to construct the backend
with RESTful API design and MVC architecture. Employed Vue.js and
Bootstrap responsive, mobile-first, design to build the frontend.
Planning
Generated technical requirements and determined most effective
solutions
Created wireframes
Designed database schema
Researched outside resources
Built two comprehensive feature lists – Need to have vs. Nice to
have
Used Trello to structure, map out, and continually update
step-by-step action plan for completion of application
Backend
Ruby on Rails
RESTful API backend design with MVC architecture
Built 5 models (and corresponding databases) with foreign key
attributes, association methods, and active record validations.
Tested with dummy data.
Installed BCrypt gem and JWT gem to create backend
authentication
Built, controllers, RESTful routes, API views, and partials for
more complex logic
Installed Cloudinary gem to upload images to cloud and store
their URL’s in DB
Used Insomnia API design platform and REST Client to test
RESTful backend actions and authentication
Seeded Data and installed Seed Dump gem to facilitate creating
seeds with data sent to DB from frontend and Rails console
Frontend
Vue.js and Bootstrap
Vue multi-page CRUD application with 12 views
Installed Axios library to send HTTP web requests using
JavaScript
Incorporated frontend authentication using Axios to retrieve
JWTs and store them in local storage
Formatted and styled data sent from backend on pages
Imported Vue2Filters gem to filter data on index pages
Installed MomentJS library to set dates for users’ posts in
relative time
Integrated Bootstrap theme for responsive, mobile-first, design
Added buttons, icons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, fonts, images,
and forms with validations for creating and updating models
