About Me and Project Ideas

Welcome to my first capstone blog post! I can’t believe this is my last term at OSU, but I’m also extremely excited to bring together what I know and showcase them in my capstone project. Before getting into the real project and technical things, I just want to take a moment to introduce myself and some projects I’m interested in.

I graduated college back in 2018 with a degree in statistics and started teaching math for some time. Although it was really fun interacting with students and helping them improve their math skills day by day, I felt there was something missing. I started yearning the college experience of learning something new everyday and running into problems then coming up with solutions, all of which I hated while I was a student. That was when I started thinking about a new career that would grant me all of that and discovered OSU’s post-bacc CS program.

I still remember how nervous and uncertain I was on the first day of class, but the first task of printing “Hello World!” eased the anxiety. I was like “Oh, this is totally not bad!” From there, I’ve come a long way and learned about data structures/algorithms, databases, building full-stack web apps, etc. Now that I’m at the end of this journey, I would say starting this program was the best decision of my life and I can’t wait to see what I can build for my last assignment here at OSU.

Before I end my first blog, I also wanted to talk about a project idea I fell in love with, Dating App for Animal Adoption. I am an avid animal lover and a proud parent of two fur babies, both adopted from local shelters, so I would love to have an opportunity to contribute and showcase my skills through a project I deeply resonate with. I was thinking to make an adoption app not just for local rescues, but also include international ones. This will give people who want to help out animals aboard that might be in much worse environment than in the US a channel to do so.

Hopefully I get assigned to my favorite project, but there are a few others I’m also interested in. Looking forward to working with my future teammates and creating an amazing app!
