Chasing learning opportunities...
Ppalli
The Product Initiative - August 2020
Ppalli is a published Chrome extension that aims to break the trend of binge-watching.
Our extension sets a countdown timer each time the users watch a video on YouTube.
With customizable watch time and break time interval, we implemented a three-strike system where
the user will be given a suggested mindful activity at each break. We integraged ReactJS, jQuery and the
Chrome API to build Ppalli, which serves to break the momentum of binge-watching by exploring more mentally healthy alternatives.
Keenote
Personal Project - June 2020
At the beginning of quarantine, I felt overwhelmed by all the
new skills I told myself I should learn with all the unexpected time at home.
Hence I built Keenote, a blog-post style note-taking web app that
allowed my keener self to note down what I've learned and what more I want to learn.
Through Keenote, I explored the Python Django framework which was completely new to me,
while keeping track of my learning reflections.
KwikKonnect
TOHacks Project - May 2020
TOHacks was my first online hackathon. Inspired by the changing world due to COVID-19,
we wanted to mitigate the absense of spontaneous interpersonal experiences
from remote work, virtual classrooms and online conferences. We created KwikKonnect, a Slackbot
and video call platform that can be used to hold coffee chats, form new bonds, and staying connected.
I had a productive time learning and using Javascript, Node.JS, and HerokuApp.

EllHacks Project - May 2020
ElleHacks was a valuable experience in that it created an empowering, all-women environment. Exploring the issues of sustainability,
my team and I created a platform that connected business with charities to redirect food waste. This was my first time using the MERN stack
as well as MongoDB. We were delighted to recieve the Best Use of Domain.com Award from MLH.
Shihan's Bakery
Instagram Filter - July 2020
For a dear friend's birthday, I made the instagram filter Shihan's Bakery using
SparkAR and Adobe Sketch. It was a lot of fun to pick up the pen again (digital this time!)
and draw out new creations. I was also thrilled to explore SparkAR's different tools
for developers and playing around with the options.

StarterHacks Project - May 2020
StarterHacks was my first hackathon. Over the course of 24 hours, my teammates and I built a web app that allows manufacturers to view the harmful
effects and alternatives of industrial chemicals. Having no previous expereince in any web development languages, I learned HTML and CSS from scratch and created the front-end of our project.
We were lucky to recieve the Mentor's Choice Award out of 100+ teams.
