Hello World! Welcome to Drama in the Debug, where I’ll be sharing my capstone journey along with some fun bits of life.
I’m Allyson, and while I’ve been living in Oregon (PST) for the past three years, I’m originally from Washington state. Some of my favorite things include spending time with family and friends, taking walks with my dog, traveling, cooking, watching movies and shows, doing pilates, indulging in sweet treats, and sipping on matcha. Lately, I’ve been hooked on the shows Tell Me Lies and Reasonable Doubt—I live for the drama (hence the blog name, of course)!
As for tech, it’s tough to choose a favorite, but right now, my air fryer is definitely winning. I’m working toward my CS degree with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and here are a few projects that really excite me:
- OSU Orientation Gamification: I love the idea of making orientation fun! Game development is new for me, but I’m so ready to dive in and learn.
- Citizen Science App for Kids: I’ve worked on the UI and done UX research for a learning app, so being part of the entire process—from frontend to backend—would be fun!
- Language Immersion Virtual Environment (LIVE): This project combines my experience with UI/UX for a language learning app and my desire to gain game development and GPT API skills.
I can’t wait to see which project team I end up on and look forward to sharing all the ups and downs with you. Bye for now!
