  • Tech Stack
    • Languages: Python
    • Frameworks/Other: Flask
  • February 2021
  • UofT Hacks Hackathon
  • At this Hackathon, my team and I developed QuickConnect, a NodeJS-based web-application designed to allow people with financial or mental-health questions ask them in a twitter-like style of posting with expert feedback from consultants/therapists. I worked on the backend with some NodeJS routing and setting up a Natural Language Processing feature to block out people who try to comment hate speech.
  • Tech Stack
  • Front-End: VueJS
  • Back-End: NodeJS
  • Framework: Express
  • January 2021
  • NorthWest Hacks Hackathon

  • January 2018 - June 2018
  • Cassie Campbell Community Center
  • Swimming Instructor
  • During my time at Cassie, I conducted classes of approximately 7-8 students and taught them how to swim. The essence of the job required me to sharpen my leadership skills, as I was leading the class and occasionally a volunteer who helped out with the technical skills. Furthermore, my communication and teamwork skills greatly improved, as my colleagues and I would participate in frequent joint lifeguard/instructing exercises, alongside with frequent updates to the students' guardians regarding their progress.
