Who am I?
I graduated from the University of Toronto in June 2019 with a major in
Human Biology, a major in Pharmacology & a minor in Computer Science.
I started to transition from the Life Sciences to Software Engineering when I was challenged
to
build a calculator on Minecraft for Xbox. This was an understandably arduous task
considering I
did not know
any binary code, logic gating, or even of the Coding Block that existed on the PC version of
the
game!
To keep a long story short, I made a very rough first draft that could only calculate 1+2,
1+3
or 2+3. After
improving upon my design by building an extendable "skeleton" that could sum any distinct
positive integer, I
decided to take "Computer Science for the Life Sciences" (CSC120) & the rest is history!
I am now an Engineering Resident at Google and am looking forward to prove myself along with
all my peers!
What have I done?
See below for a brief overview of my published work. Feel free to take a glance at my other miscellaneous work as well!
- A display of some of what I've learned about Android Development!
- This project includes as many of the special features and displays as many of the skills I could reasonably include.
- Features include navigation through the BottomNavigationBar, facilitated by Fragments and their animations, or TabLayouts with ViewPagers
- Skills include leveraging ConstraintLayouts with margins and padding to create a fluid UI/UX.
- An exploratory project to emulate the Linux bash terminal on a web browser. Progress was to be guided & supervised by two professors, however the work was done independently.
- Starting from nothing, I managed to quickly browse & eliminate different options, narrowing down to the most appropriate implementation.
- As a prototype is required, I have taken the initiative to learn JavaScript & the Node.js Express framework.
- This project largely written in JavaScript & C, using emscripten to convert the C code to WebAssembly code.
(Figure 1) The first page served to the browser
This is simply a header with a button that "initializes" the user's virtual storage & redirects them to the page where the emulator would be.
(Figure 2) The (incomplete) emulator
The Node.js project serves any required files (local or remote; see Figure 5 to see how remote files are served) to some backend C code (that was converted into JavaScript & WebAssembly code through Emscripten)
