Expense Tracker
December 2023
A personal finance application where users can input and track their expenses. I used AWS Amplify to simplify the development process by integrating authentication (AWS Cognitio), user authorization (AWS IAM), database (Dynamo DB) & GraphQL API, and hosting for CI/CD via GitHub. More information about the project can be found in the GitHub ReadMe.

Online Video Chat
August 2022
An online video chat webapp so that you can connect with your friends. I leveraged Firestore collections and WebRTC to abstract much of the websocket functionality. In particular, this makes it easy to setup the ICE and STUN servers to support the RTC Peer Connection between two users.

Recipe Website
Feb. 2022 - May 2022
A recipe sharing website that I developed with four other team members over the course of a semester. Users could create accounts through Google Auth and do almost anything with recipes, including creating, viewing, favoriting, commenting on, searching, forking, and sorting by criteria. Photos were stored through Amazon S3, other data were stored in the Postgres database, and the final website was deployed to Heroku. While I have access to the code, I am unable to share it because of UVA's privacy policy. I am more than happy to chat about the project in detail!
