Building a full-stack web app with React to track LeetCode progress, integrating the SM2 spacedrepetition algorithm to personalize learning based on user feedback, with expected improvements inretention and efficiency for coding practice.Created a high-conversion prelaunch landing page optimized for lead capture, achieving a 60% sign-up rate and building an email list of 2,000+ users in the first two weeks to drive early interest andengagement.Technologies: React, Vite, TailwindCSS, Typescript, JavaScript, Github, Asana, Slack

Developed and maintained Codesmith’s public site and JavaScript learning platform, serving over 165,000 annual visitors.Migrated the JavaScript codebase to TypeScript, increasing type safety and code maintainability.Utilized Docker for containerized development environments, proper formatting and linting, and comprehensive preflight checks toensure consistency throughout the development cycleGuided junior software engineers in implementing technologies across the stack by giving feedback in one-on-one code review sessions and whiteboarding sessions to demonstrate code execution. Evaluated candidates for the immersive program by conducting technical interviews focusing on JavaScript fundamentals, their ability to problem-solve analytically, and their overall capacity to communicate their technical and non-technical skills. Mentored teams of engineers to ensure they maintained their progress and pace in an AGILE/scrum-based sprint schedule. Trained and lectured engineers on core web tech and practices (Data Structures, Algorithms, Asynchronicity/Promises, Authentication, DBMS (NoSQL, SQL), React/Redux, webpack, AWS, Docker)

Fullstack React App Visualizer and Endpoint ManagerLeveraged Electron-Vite to achieve hot-reloading, accelerate development with a swift server, and ensure optimal bundling.Leveraged React's virtual DOM and modular component-based architecture to craft dynamic UI elements.Adopted TypeScript to bolster code reliability and maintainability through rigorous typing.Seamlessly integrated Redux Toolkit for state management, utilizing its built-in utilities to streamline boilerplate and implement efficient reducers, resulting in optimized application state logic and enhanced responsiveness.Engineered seamless communication using Electron's IPC to manage application logic and efficiently send it to be rendered.Implemented Babel to adeptly transform code into an Abstract Syntax Tree, enabling effective rendering of uploaded application folders into traversable JSON structures.Incorporated React Flow, offering a lucid visualization of React component hierarchies, facilitating improved codebase comprehension for developers.

• Tutor groups of 3-6 Chinese ESL students aged 4 - 11 to improve English vocabulary, spelling, writing, and reading/listening comprehension that is accessed daily • Cultivate useful active learning skills, growth mindset, and active recall to allow students to gain confidence, retain novel information, and help reach their highest potential • Identify and adapt to different variations in student abilities, learning styles, and personalities to keep students engaged in the material by adjusting the material and presentation • Maintain an efficient and effective learning environment for the students of varying skill levels through multitasking and effective communication in English and Mandarin • Maintain discussion with the co-teacher and vice principal to adjust teaching approach as the dynamic of classroom changes with the changing of the student body

Contributed to a systematic review under UCLA’s Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department, collaborating with Dr. Daniel T. Blumstein and Dr. Breanna J. Putman (2019-2021). Responsibilities included screening and narrowing down relevant academic papers, meticulously reading through selected literature, and extracting key data for input into a structured Google Sheet for the review.

Studying microbial evolution of bacteria systems and antibiotics.

Assisted UBC PhD candidate, Emily Adamczyk in the labs of Dr. Mary O'Connor and Dr. Laura Parfrey with the sample processing of eelgrass (Zostera marina) community samples.

Worked under Dr. Sarah Joy Bittick with processing seagrass, invertebrate, and alga samples.
