I am using React Native, Node.js, Xcode, and more to develop this project for multiple platforms. Additionally, this application is designed around modern research citing Carol Dweck, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Anna Lembke, and more.The name "Coherascent" is derived from a portmanteau of "Coherent Ascension". This phrase refers to the company's mission of meaningfully climbing out of common societal health struggles. This startup also aims to help people of all backgrounds and strives to be non-partisan in its approaches.We are incorporating advanced mathematics and machine learning to provide personalized recommendations and predictive analytics, enhancing user experience and engagement.

Worked with several leaders around the county, including the CIO and CISO, to provide succinct, practical, and engaging information for county employees. Honed in on skills to better communicate with stakeholders more proactively and concisely. Defined clear metrics to ensure an evolving understanding of Cybersecurity principles for both technical and non-technical employees. Won the "Best Booth" award at the Tech Showcase event in late July. Show less

Applied SOLID software engineering principles, multivariable calculus, and concepts from probability and statistics. Built the UML structure of a C++ program from scratch in plantUML.Participated in a component of the project EdgGuide called the Autocalibration Tool. EdgGuide is a system that helps navigate blind or visually impaired people through a public space like airports, aquariums, museums, etc. This system is composed of a Bluetooth Mesh Network, which is comprised of wall-mounted 'beacons' and 'tags' that are attached to the user.The purpose of our internship project, the Autocalibration Tool, was to vastly reduce installation costs in the context of setting up this system of beacons and tags in any commercial space. The absolute position, in XYZ coordinates must be known for every beacon in the system, but if the scale is large, manually measuring distances between beacons and using math to convert into coordinates would have a substantial cost.Our project requires 4 beacons with known coordinates, and uses the Bluetooth technology to find the distance between the unknown beacons in meters. This measurement data is then used with position solving algorithms, hill climb or gradient descent, to find the absolute positions of all beacons in a system of any size. Show less
