Projects I have built

TritonLiving
Designed and built an interactive, fully browser-based card puzzle game with emphasis on intuitive UI layout and smooth CSS animations for an engaging player experience. Followed Agile development practices – planning iterative sprints and incorporating feedback – to progressively improve game responsiveness and flow. Applied player interaction observations and user feedback to refine game mechanics and inform design decisions throughout development.

Carden
Built a full-stack roommate discovery platform for UCSD students using Next.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, modeling user profiles, housing/lifestyle preferences, saved candidates, and messages in a relational schema. Implemented a weighted compatibility engine ranking candidates across 20+ categories (budget, location, social habits, etc.) with user-controlled priority weighting and explainable match reasons. Integrated OpenAI API to generate per-user lifestyle summaries and per-pair match explanations, persisted in PostgreSQL and regenerated when preferences change. Built one-on-one messaging with Prisma-backed conversation persistence, deduplicated per user pair, and kept live via database polling.
