NutriFind is a non-profit community organization dedicated to bringing about health to impoverished areas or individuals experiencing financial instability. It is our mission to make eating healthy as informative and affordable as possible; promoting the short-term and long term benefits that come with it. I was the lead programmer on the team that built the NutriFind website, which serves as a resource hub for people to learn about nutrition and find affordable healthy food options in their area. This project was a great opportunity for me to apply my programming skills to a real world problem and make a positive impact on my community. I learned a lot about web developement, including new libraries and frameworks such as React and Tailwind CSS. I also gained experience working on a team and collaborating with others to achieve a common goal. What I did well when starting this project was getting all of my ideas out. Something that I wish I did better was managing my time more effectively, as I found myself rushing to finish the project towards the end. Overall, this project was a valuable learning experience and I'm excited to keep working on it in order to make it the best it can be.

NutriFind allowed me to take action by directly contributing to a project that benefits the community. I investigated the world by researching nutritional needs and affordable food options for underserved populations. I communicated ideas by presenting my findings and solutions through the website, making information accessible and engaging for users. I also collaborated with a team, which helped me develop my communication and teamwork skills. This project has inspired me to continue using my programming skills to make a positive impact on the world and has shown me the power of technology in addressing social issues.

This picture was taken in Downtown Los Angeles during my internship at America On Tech for Tech Flex Leaders. As a tech Product Manager intern, I was responsible for managing project timelines, coordinating with team members, and ensuring that our tech solutions met client needs. I learned a lot about product management, including how to prioritize tasks and make smart decisions based on data. This experience has been extremely valuable in shaping my product thinking and understanding the complexities of managing tech projects.

This internship allowed me to investigate the world by gaining insight into the tech industry and understanding how technology can be used to solve real-world problems. I communicated ideas by collaborating with my team and presenting our solutions to our instructor, which helped me develop my communication and teamwork skills. This experience has inspired me to pursue a career in tech and has shown me the impact that technology has on society.

This is a picture of my FTC Robotics team, ISLC 25353, at the qualifiers. FTC (FIRST Tech Challenge) is a robotics competition where teams design, build, and program robots to compete in various challenges. My role on the team was primarily focused on programming the robot's mecanum drive system using Java, which allowed for versatile movement. I also contributed to the overall strategy and design of the robot. Through this experience, I learned a lot about robotics, programming, and teamwork. I gained hands-on experience with hardware and software integration, as well as problem solving and critical thinking skills. This experience has been huge in developing my interest in engineering and has inspired me to pursue a career in the tech industry or related fields.

This experience taught me valuable lessons about teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance. Collaborating with my team members required effective communication and coordination, especially when troubleshooting technical issues. I learned how to approach complex problems methodically and how to adapt our engineering based on real-time feedback. This experience has significantly contributed to my personal growth and development as a student and future professional.
