365 Days

I came in with a broken understanding of Xcode and Swift 2. Despite having prior experience, building apps and learning storyboard was a completely different jam for me, since the difference between SpriteKit Scenes and Storyboard was drastic. Repository Devpost and GitHub. Naturally, being quite lost, I got a couple of ideas from a friend, and the rest of my team thought it sounded exciting.

From this experience, I learned that it was a bad idea to just start working on something without coordinating with your team and get frustrated alone. EmergencyBot is a SMS text messenger bot that allows a user to hold an emergency button down while walking alone at night, which when let go, messages your emergency contacts with a custom message that you are in danger. I wanted to create an app that would allow people to feel like they had some sort of safety net when they might be going into dangerous situations, such as walking home late from a class or going to a new place alone.

Thus, I made an iOS application that contains a emergency button, an averaged programmatic delay to determine how long you would need to let go of the button to send a message, functions to edit and add emergency contacts, and group message sending to mitigate any possible false alarms. Mainly built with Swift 3 and Firebase.

After my prior disappointing performance at trying to build an iOS application, I was honestly pretty discouraged. When I attended this hackathon, it was my second try, and I unfortunately disappointed my friends again, only able to figure out how storyboard worked and Firebase authentication.

After this, I decided that I seriously try to figure out iOS development. Built with Swift 3 and Firebase. You might be thinking, how did this girl suddenly go from being incompetent at iOS development to landing a full-blown internship a week later. To be honest, I ask myself the same thing, but I happened to get lucky after I familiarized myself with iOS development.

I demonstrated my aptitude for learning on the job, and from this job I became quite proficient in iOS development and became more aware of how an external perspective would change my projects. The original web application for Releaf was created by two Stanford graduate students to provide a support group for any topics of concern, similar to smaller private Facebook groups. Common posts include anonymous postings of everyday problems, academic topics, parenting topics, and psychological problems.

It is both a web application and an iPhone application, which allows more people to participate. I ended up being the third employee, contributing from when the first iteration was completed and the founders were looking for new perspectives. From there, I helped them review the next couple iterations and helped brainstorm for ideas relating to both design and product development. During my internship, I was advised by a designer and created the application from the ground up, making several adjustments to match the progressive ideas of the founders.

I was granted full permission to open source the code for the application. I came up with this idea as a joke with my friend while I was trying to avoid the glaring sun on our way to Los Angeles, and we eventually sort-of made work. This application takes your location to find the UV index, and analyzes a picture of yourself to find your approximate skin tone. A long time ago, back at GunnHacks 3. Eventually, I decided to build it as a fun break from my work.

Following the conclusion of my internship at Releaf, I decided to take what I learned about design and user experience to try and build a quality product on my own. Pick Up Three is an app for iPhone which servers as a social network solely for sharing and creating pick up lines.

Users are able to request pick up lines with three specific keywords, so the resulting pick up line will be specially catered towards their special needs. More importantly, I liked the feeling of making real projects and solving problems, which made web development an ideal choice for a beginner like myself to get started learning how to use GitHub, managing DNS providers, among other basic topics. Repository GitHub and Live Site. I decided to organize an international hackathon called PalyHacks , which became partnered with WeChat. Even though I used so much inline CSS.

And had terrible indentation.

Honestly, although the code for this project was rather messy, I also have a certain fondness for it. I spent a lot of time trying to learn what type of colors meshed well together, as well as how I could make the user experience slightly better. Some of my first exposure of Firebase came from this experiment, as well as a sense of how to manage user privileges and DNS providers.

Most people I know have a personal website, whether they are in tech fields or not. I decided to make my own, and went with a minimalistic design with links to my resume and other helpful links.

I wanted to make a project that used some skills I had developed over the past years. For a while, I had been working with Swift, I decided to make a utility-type web application instead.

Managing attendee and mentor registration, judging, and setting deadlines are some of the few tasks that I ended up having multiple Typeforms and Google Sheets for. Hackathon Manager allows future hackathon organizers to keep track of hardware inventory, milestones, project scoring, and attendees in one web application. All tasks needed to organize a hackathon can be performed inside the web application, from sending emails to registering hacker applications.

The web applications contains features such as email sending, tracking progress on tasks, scheduling events, registering users, project scoring, and project ranking. Like most hackathon projects, this fizzed out for a while, but I decided I wanted to make it functional and more usable. Check out the informational website for a more in depth review of what the project is and how it works! I recreated the home page with the new design after going through nearly a hundred iterations when I worked on the advertisements and banners for last years hackathon. I had a couple small projects I worked on that are still being worked on, or were just small ideas.

I also learned to use MySQL from my dual enrollment at a college, but mostly stuck with classwork. Like some other developers, I had a phase where I left print statements in my code from debugging. As a result, I created a script to delete all the print statements for various languages throughout my code. To solve that problem, this script commits your code while searching your code for your keys and replacing them with filler text. The title of this script is a little misleading, since I meant to use it for a different purpose, but essentially this script allows you to log into the MySQL Command Line Client from any location in your computer.

I created it because I kept forgetting the correct file paths from where I could login, so this proved very helpful. Essentially, we wanted to bring Virtual Reality into a more accessible and reachable tool. Built using Python, AnimeLyrics. Streamers often have to multitask to communicate with their fans, and one of those many tasks is managing their background music.

I am currently working on Twitch Music, which scrapes the current Twitch chat of a streamer and plays the youtube songs sent in the chat. If the streamer wants to sing alone, it uses the AnimeLyrics module to retrieve the lyrics for that song. A cell phone, like what Cher used in the coming-of-age, rom-com film Clueless , will be provided to the chosen one, perfect in times of emergencies. The mechanics allow the contestant to use computers or desktops, but not smartphones or tablets, even those owned by other people, or anything which the candidate can scroll or swipe on. Amazon Echo and Google Home are permitted.

While most people may dismiss the contest as an walk in the park, Vitaminwater will test the candidate's honesty by submitting to a lie-detector test at the end of the year. Looking at numbers, this contest may deem hardest for millennials to finish. According to Pew Research Center, 92 percent of that generation owns smartphones. Majority 67 percent of baby boomers and Gen-Xers 85 percent also have the device. In millennials' case , smartphones have been increasingly touted as vital in completing tasks every day, such as shopping online, streaming films and series, or simply browsing social media feed.

It said this was an effort to break the boring routine that has plagued generations. Vitaminwater , Smartphones , Contest.
