I'm Currently Working on...
RecipeMate: A Modern Recipes Search Engine with Recommendation System
Built a recipes search engine allowing for users to search for recipes using vector similarity keyword search such as cuisine, ingredients, flavor, and flexible filtering search such as fitering by diet and avoiding allergic foods. Self-deployed on a VPS (Hetzner) to leverage lower-latency database calls as this application makes calls to SQLITE/GO and Vector DB backend microservices locally. Currently deploying as a PWA (progressive web app) to ship as a IOS/Android mobile app.
Sentispeech: Realistic Text-To-Speech Generator SaaS Product
A work-in-progress SaaS product enabling realistic text to speech using pretrained and finetuned text to speech AI models. Features include project creation and management, a speech builder enabling customizable adjustment of speech such as terseness and emotion. Backend implementation involves serverless GPU runtime using RunPod.
Narraitor: A IOS/Android Audiobook App Generated by Realistic AI Text To Speech
A work-in-progress audiobook app leveraging realistic text to speech to generate public domain audiobooks. Features will include requesting books from Gutenberg API to be generated, search filtering audiobooks, and changing audiobook narration voices.
Projects & Experience
WanderIn: A Social Media Location Sharing App
Built a cross platform social media IOS/Android app that allows users to pin and share current and remote locations on a map and comment on user pins. This app works with a bluetooth wristband made from scratch using C++, ESP32, 3D printed material which helps navigate users to pinned locations.
Industry Atlas: A Map Visualizer Displaying Employment Data by Industry
Designed and developed a website that visualizes employment data from the US Census Bureau's County Business Patterns dataset for researchers at Yale and UCSD. This allows users to explore the data interactively through an interactive map, slider-based year selection, and two viewing modes: sector-specific and county-level overview.
MARVIN: A Desktop Application to Send Video/Files to Hololens2 (Mixed Reality Headset)
Developed a desktop interface that enables surgeons to send and receive DICOM files (3D patient images), as well as live video capture card feed using Microsoft Hololens 2. This application communicates with the Unity application responsible for managing the user interface on the headset.
Fetch Dog Search: Dog Adoption Search App
Built a dog search app as a part of a take-home assignment. Features include JWT auth, filtering by breed, age, ascending/descending sort, client/server-side form validation, data synchronization with SQLite database using DrizzleORM for TypeSafety + better DX.
SlideShare: A platform for ECE140a Students at UCSD
Built a idea-sharing platform for students in UCSD's ECE140a class to display student's business ideas and commenting on student ideas. Notable features include implementation of auth flow (login system), displaying fetched data from an API, updating user information, and a commenting system.
Other Projects
Reddibot: Generate Media / Receive Notifications from Subreddits
A Discord bot to fetch media and subscribe/unsubscribe to receive posts from any Subreddit. Built a static website to publicize the features of Reddibot.
Bujo Studio: A Bullet Journaling App
Designed and developed with my CSE110 team a bullet journaling website which allows users to add bullet notes in a calendar, week, hourly, view. Addtional features include toggling dark/light mode, import/exporting settings, filtering by created user tags to organize notes.
The Recipes Database: Recipe Search Web App
Designed and developed a UI for a Recipe search website. The endgoal of this website is for users to be able to add ingredients and search for recipes from a large database of scraped recipes.
GPT Docs: ChatGPT Integration in Python IDLE Shell
Python Idle Shell but with ChatGPT to help you code and even links you to external documentation to Python docs with tab management for multiple chats!
My Favorite Tech for 2023 🥳
The tech I'll be using in 2023 for my next projects
Next.js 13
A React framework for web applications. It supports SSR and SSG out of the box and simplifies development with file-based routing, automatic code splitting, various optimizations for performance, SEO, and many other benefits.
SvelteKit
A JavaScript framework similar to Next.js, but using Svelte rather than React. Svelte compiles components into highly efficient JavaScript at build time, while React relies on a virtual DOM for runtime updates.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript. It introduces static typing for improved code readability, early error detection, and enhanced tooling support.
Tailwind CSS
Pre-built CSS classes for efficient web application styling. It provides a comprehensive set of utility classes for styling elements, spacing, and responsiveness, eliminating the need for writing custom CSS.
Drizzle ORM
My preferred ORM for anytime I want to write SQL for a web app that is using TypeScript. It provides a good level of abstraction that still looks like SQL compared to other ORMs.
Flutter
Google's framework for rapid native app development, is my choice for mobile development due to its unified developer experience. It minimizes reliance on third-party packages, resulting in leaner code and less complexity.
Pocketbase
A really simple to use backend written in Go that is fast and easy to use. A server packaged as an executable supporting SMTP server, S3 Object Storage, SDK, admin dashboard, and more!
Tech People I Follow 👀
Web technology evolves rapidly, and keeping up with the latest trends helps me learn new tools that enhance both user and developer experiences.
