My Projects
DuckDuckQuack App
Android Application
Built with Android Studio, this application allows users to
learn fun facts, see pictures, and
donate a flock of ducks. Java was used to program the logic. An ArrayList was used
to enable 'random' fact generation, and the
Volley
and
Picasso
libraries were used to pull and display images from the
Random-d.uk API. Lastly, Android's Intent class was used to launch the donation
page. Check out the demo below:

Personal Website
You're looking at it! Welcome to my personal webpage. This is a
static site that uses HTML and CSS. I'm currently using an S3 bucket
to host the site and Route 53 as a DNS service, both brought to you
by
Amazon Web Services (AWS), so this site is brought to you by the cloud. Click around to view

An Investigation of Private Contributions to Schools and their Role
in Perpetuating Economic and Racial Inequality in the U.S.
Writing Sample
This piece was written in 2020 and takes a look at data from
NYC's Local Law 171 of 2018—PA/PTA Fundraising Report
to asses how private contributions to public schools can exacerbate
inequalities. I used
Tableau
to help readers visualize the effects of inequitable contributions.
