Fusion Bot is a Discord Bot as well as a website that allows users to track their currently watching shows and movies. Users can then rate the shows after they are done. This was my first experience with creating a scalable backend that allowed me to use it for separate frontends. For example, in this project, I used Discord as a functional front end along with having a web variant as well. I implemented Discord Oauth with NextAuth as a way to allow users to modify their lists on both frontends.
PrepPal is a web application that allows users generate meals based on the ingredients they input. This was my final project for my fellowship at Headstarter AI. Headstarter was my first time I used Next.js and I was able to learn a lot from this experience. It was also my first experience incorporating LLMs like OpenAI and Gemini to my projects! Overall, I am happy about this project, but looking back, it could have been way more polished.
My search engine was one of my class projects for UC Irvine. We built a search engine completely from scratch using Python. There was a lot of hurdles on the way in terms of technical difficulties, but I was able to learn a lot from this project. It was one of my first experiences with web scraping and working on a project of this caliber. I think this was one of the projects that really solidfied my skills and knowledge in programming.
