Track: Project Showcase

Developing the next cross-platform interactive graph visualization tool capable of handling million-edge scale network data using WebGL, Node, and SQLite. Argo is used in CSE 6242 Data and Visual Analytics course, that teaches over 1000 students per year.

Developed an analytics dashboard for timeseries health data collected from mobile devices using Kotlin and React. Integrated into Cerebral Cortex Data Analytics Platform, a $11.8M project by NIH MD2K Center of Excellence.

Designed and developed a searchable and freely hostable web-based data-sharing platform leveraging Github and Travis CI, for energy researchers using Smart Grid.

Organizing Largest College Hackathon in the Southeast (1000+ Students)
Member of the HackGT organization where we organize various hackathons and workshops at Georgia Tech. I build open source software for hackathon organizers worldwide, while teaching computer science and web development through events for beginners and high school students in underrepresented communities.
