Latest project includes a platform for users to input their contact information to link with companies and friends. Project uses Python's Django, React/Redux, Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.

This 6-week project was built using React, Flask, and Tensorflow,

ClassifEyeAnimals will test your ability to correctly identify the
animal class using just a picture of the animal’s eye.
Choose from 1 of the 7 distinct buckets.
You have two sets of hints: Full Image Hints and Prediction Hints.
Use them wisely, because hints are limited.
You start with 3 Full Image Hints and 3 Prediction
Hints, and are rewarded a bonus of each every 3 consecutive correct
answers. Good luck!

Single-Page Apps

My SPA experience is through React. Since SPA's don't update the entire page but only required content, they significantly improve a website's speed and provide seemless transitions.

APIs

Experienced developer of REST APIs using Node.js and Django Rest Framework.

Cloud Architecture

Experience building applications on AWS (cdk, MWAA, Lambda, Elastic Beanstalk, S3). Set up Airflow and dbt for our team.
