Coding

I love to code. Over the years I've gained skills in web development, game development, app development, cybersecurity, cryptography, data science, and AI. I've completed over 20 weeks of Girls Who Code summer programs and was a member of my high school's GWC chapter for three years and co-president with my sister for two years. In 2023, my sister and I won GWC's Spring Challenge, Humanize AI, with our website on the ethics of facial recognition technology and AI. Beyond GWC, I've completed Kode With Klossy's mobile app development program where I learned to make iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI. I've since participated in KWK's alumni programs where I've studied advanced web development and data storytelling, applied data science, and machine learning alongside industry partners. In high school I coded a competition robot and I now work on software for my college's University Rover Challenge team. Besides deepening my own coding skills, I love to teach others how to code and have taught middle schoolers Python at a robotics summer camp for multiple years now.
