An open-source, full-stack web application built with React, Node.js, and Prisma that I made contributions to. The application provides a platform for EMTs to create and view patient records, including their medical history and emergency contact information. I primarily worked on the patient registration functionality and a web scraping feature that streamlined EMT license verification.

An open-source, full-stack web application built with React and Python. The application provides a free resource for users to research tax policy impact and implications. I primarily worked on the React frontend, fixing UI/UX bugs and created an API status page to monitor the health of the application.

A full-stack web application built with Typescript, React, Flask, Selenium, and PostgreSQL. The application automates the process of checking the MyNintendo rewards shop for their physical items via a conn job. It then checks the database to see if there were any changes to the website and notifies the user via a Discord bot. This application utilizes CI/CD pipelines to deploy the application to Fly.io for the API server and Vercel for the frontend.
