Parent Alerts is an app that interfaces with the Engrade platform to allow parents to track their childrens' progress in school by creating customizable alerts. They can specify the type of alert, threshold, frequency, and contact methods. I used PHP to incorporate the Twilio API for sending text messages and to interface with the MySQL database I created for this project. Studies have shown that Parent Alerts resulted in a .23 improvement in student GPA, 25% increase in assignments completed, and 28% decrease in classes missed. This was my main project during my Summer 2014 internship at Engrade and my first experience with web development.

For my senior design project, my group is creating an an API that will quantify and analyze users' fitness device data to allow gaming companies to provide in-game rewards accordingly. This is aimed at reducing the overall increasing trend in obesity in America by providing motivation through gaming, an increasingly popular hobby. The GameFit API will grab data from any fitness devices users currently have and create a FitScore based on factors such as endurance and consistency. By giving gaming companies these metrics, they can give players who stay healthy an advantage over those who don't. I helped to build the landing page website which will has been used to gauge interest, and we will be working on algorithms and building out the API during the spring semester.

Lord of the Swords is an online multiplayer action game developed in Java with server/client communication, Swing graphics, networking abilities, and asynchronous chat functionality. It was built as the final project for the USC CSCI-201 Software Development class. Players can connect to a lobby and then gather health, armor, and swords which give them advantages over each other. They then battle to the death, with the game finishing when there is one player standing.

Developed a native iOS mobile app called Adventure Meal, which is designed to let users try new foods without having to worry about them being of poor quality. Users input a category and mile radius they're willing to go. The app randomly chooses a restaurant from the top 20 Yelp reviews for those criteria and navigates them there using GPS technology. The user does know where they're going until they arrive, making it a blind date with their food. Original idea started as a web app during the Microsoft Mash-Up Hackathon in Los Angeles, CA in Jan. '14.
