Open Coding Society
- Developed a submission feature for assignments(coding in both front and backend), which allows students to submit homework in groups in a streamlined way
- Led toolkit ui sp that would increase retention rate and allow easy navigation across the site for each tooklit feature
- Comunicated with other group leaders to coordinate smooth transition across the entire site
Showcase
- Sending out Pitch Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EjF_bude1CffC2UXQFD1oB28v3n-dUcr/view
Night at the Museum was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the work we’ve been doing over the past few months, gather feedback, and explore what other students have been working on as well. Presenting my project not only helped me receive useful input but also sparked a new idea for a potential application I hadn’t considered before. Demonstrating the project highlighted parts that felt intuitive to me as a developer but might not be as clear to a user, making the feedback especially valuable for improving the user experience.
People seemed to enjoy a lot of the features once I had explained it to them but some of the features such as teamteach signup aren’t as intuitive as not every class uses somethign like teamteach in their enviorment.
- Sent out website work to industry professionals(professor, etc.), and able to get a research position at using some of my frontend skills to document my work

Unique Attributes
- Communication: Able to communicate between different groups to obtain seamless transition/more streamlined across every group(talked to UI/Bathroom Pass across the room to coordinate with toolkit UI, talked with toolkit members in other tables such as Ian, and Aadit daily to coordinate any updates on features and if as a result UI needs to be updated, talked to Bella about login redirect changes, talked to Tristan with David about login fixes for when people couldnt log in)
- Leadership: Gave members of my table such as Nitin, Josh, David, and Aditya tasks to complete and most people were able to complete their assigned tasks
- UI has been seamless so far on the frontend looking like a professional site(like APPLE or more), and looks very good
- Helper: Able to help others debug their feature code in Java/html when they needed help(I was able to help david learn more about some of the cookie obtaining on the frontend and the function to obtain user info from the frontend so people don’t have to enter their name if they are logged in)
Experience
- Experienced in usage of agile methodlogy including Scrum and Kanbanboards to organize mass groups
