Five Highlight Projects
AP Score Predictor ~ an analysis on key indicators
- Demonstrated my ability to create unique systems that are very applicable
- Students will find this interesting and motivating
- Performs an analysis on key indicators such as collaboration and AGILE skills, which we value in the computer science field.
Pocket Therapist ~ full stack development and data management
- ML in frontend, and quotes database in backend . Both which I created.
- I experienced the full frontend to backend pipeline. I used rapid API and chatgpt for quote generation.
- I developed the model on a kaggle dataset
- Quotes were then called to frontend to match output of emotion recognizer -> I wrote the requests and created testing files
- I also created the endpoints on the backend
ML Fitness Lesson ~ Machine Learning
- Created a simple introduction to machine learning blog
- Blog is a topic of interest to teens, strategically interests highschoolers
- Project aims to show the applicability of ML to various of interesting fields
- Step by step of creating a model. Very thorough, from data preprocessing to validation steps.
Age/Gender Predictor and Landmark Detection ~ Emerging and visual technologies
- Visual ML are always a hit at n@tm!
- Developed in JS , a language that I try to practice as often as possible
- Deployed demo
- Shows skills in emerging visual technologies, facial landmark detection
KASM User Management System
- Uses flask, I started from scratch for this one
- Many features including protected passwords, session variables
- Different roles and accessibility for admin and users
- Shows advanced understanding and ability to work with data
My Skills Beyond Coding
Leadership
I have been vice president of Girls in Computer Science and now I am president. I have had to display leadership skills when conducting workshops, when managing social media, and when delegating roles. This leadership requires communication, collaboration, and organization. All of these are qualities which I display which is why last year Girls in Computer Science was able to accomplish incredibly things :
- two panels
- three workshops
- one international app competition
- one hackaton
- worked to build digital literacy ciriculum with PUSD Common Sense Tech Department
Accountability
I have never been a ‘slacker’. Ever since I have been in this class, while it was hard at first I have given my 110%. At the begining I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it but now I have really become passionate about what I do. For this reason I have accountability in every project and always do my best to communicate when things are behind.
Creative Learner
Being a begininer when I was first introduced to this class was a blessing in disguise. I was able to meet and learn from so many intelligent and talented people. A few people that come to mind are Drew, Safin, Rachit, and Vidhi. I will always learn from those around me and take in their good qualities. I have much to learn but I am eager to do so.
Great Experiences
Additionally…
- N@TM Link …. We’ve come a long way since this day!
- CTE Fair : Being able to see other disciplines of science was rewarding. But having the oppurtunity to work on my presentation skills with people of a large variety of levels of understanding was challneging and a great growth oppurtunity. Being able to explain and sell your work is incredibly important and something I gained and will keep with me as I go into the tech world.
