Walnut Education is a platform I engineered from the ground up in collaboration with two other engineers, with the mission to promote transparency and provide diverse choices in the college admissions consulting industry. Inspired by the Airbnb model, this platform connects students seeking application guidance with a variety of consultants, creating an intuitive space where students act as guests and consultants as hosts.

The platform is packed with essential features, including an advanced search functionality, real-time chat for instant communication, payment processing to simplify transactions, and a review system that helps students make informed decisions. We successfully registered over 121 consultants, offering a broad selection of expertise to match students' unique needs.

Our efforts were recognized when Walnut Education ranked among Y Combinator's top 10% of applicants in 2021, further validating the platform's potential to reshape the consulting experience by seamlessly integrating complex functionalities into a user-centered approach. This project demonstrates my ability to build full-fledged platforms that address real-world needs and deliver a seamless and transparent consulting process.

HelloWorld is a dynamic and feature-rich travel planning application that I developed as my capstone project during the App Academy coding bootcamp. Inspired by Wanderlog, I built this full-stack solo project within just two weeks.

The frontend of the application is powered by React, while the backend is supported by Flask. I incorporated a variety of technologies, including Leaflet for interactive maps, JavaScript, Python, Redux, SQLite3, PostgreSQL and AWS S3 for image storage,. AWS allows seamless image uploads and retrieval, enhancing user experience by providing fast and reliable media handling.

One of the standout features of HelloWorld is its AI-powered travel assistant, which provides intelligent itinerary suggestions and personalized recommendations. By utilizing AI-based fetching, the application helps users plan trips with real-time insights and optimized travel routes effortlessly.

This project highlights my ability to integrate complex tools and frameworks to deliver a fully functional, user-friendly travel planning application.

Artisan Alley is an e-commerce platform modeled after Etsy, developed collaboratively by me and three team members. This full-stack application highlights our ability to work effectively as a team, creating a user-friendly marketplace for handmade and vintage goods.

The frontend is built using React, while the backend is powered by Flask. Throughout the development, we utilized various technologies, including Python, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, SQLAlchemy, and Redux.

This project demonstrates our collective skills in building a functional and polished platform, showcasing both our teamwork and technical expertise in full-stack development.

This full-stack solo project is a dynamic web application developed during my time at App Academy, showcasing my skills in both frontend and backend development over a 2-week period.

The frontend is built using React, while the backend is powered by Express.js. Throughout the development, I utilized a variety of technologies, including JavaScript, Node.js, CSS, CSS Grid, HTML, SQLite3, PostgreSQL, and Redux. The application features full CRUD functionality for both reviews and listings, allowing users to create, read, update, and delete reviews and listings seamlessly within the platform.

This project demonstrates my technical expertise in full-stack development and highlights my ability to independently build a feature-rich, responsive application with a seamless user experience across multiple devices.

I am actively seeking full-stack software engineering opportunities where I can contribute my expertise in building dynamic, user-centered applications.
