  Protos Apps

  Protos Apps was a software startup I worked on primarily during my freshman year at Drexel.

The three years I spent pursuing this venture included:- Registering the Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the state of Connecticut- Designing and coding the primary company website, as well as individual websites for each project. Website development also involved registering domains through namecheap & hosting on github pages.- Taught myself front-end, and the basics of back-end, web development to build Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) for projects of interest. Designed wireframes in Figma prior to software development.- Pitched at startup competitions, conveying the mission of Froyo to potential grant-donors & investors. Show less

  Susquehanna International Group, LLP (SIG)

  Mar 2023 - Sept 2023

  Software Development Co-op

  As a software development co-op at SIG I worked primarily as a front-end developer with a bit of work also in python. My work over this 6 month co-op fit roughly into 3 parts:- The first third of my co-op pertained mostly to maintaining my team's existing web GUIs, built in Vue, Angular, and Svelte. I also did a little bit of work maintaining our Django APIs.- The second third of my co-op was centered around building a data visualization tool. For this tool, I developed a sankey diagram using Vue and D3.js. The data for this diagram was generated using a collection of python scripts I wrote that aggregated information over billions of data frames.- The final third of my co-op involved developing a GUI for an existing Django API my team had developed. This GUI was also built in Vue, and I worked with handling standard CRUD operations. In addition to the GUI itself, I also created a suite of test cases covering most of its functionality. Aside from front-end work, I also helped with implementing the authentication for the app's API using Microsoft ADF. Show less
