Marquis
This picture shows the love and trust a kitten has for his owner. Marquis is a 3-month-old gray Scottish Fold kitten who is very photogenic and loves the camera. In this project, I used Adobe Photoshop to edit the photo and improve its quality. The crop tool was used to change the size, and I utilized different filters and altered the lighting and color to make his features sharper and more distinct.
Sing about science and Math
During Spring Quarter 2017, I worked on a team project with three classmates. My team’s task was to refresh the look of a website to attract more views. Our group was assigned a website called Sing about Science and Math, which helps students learn science and math in a song. This is a very unique, interesting, and easy way to learn.
We improved the layout and updated the advanced search for easier use. Trello was used for online communication, planning, sharing files, and tracking each others’ work. My responsibility was to ask questions and get feedback from a teacher, parent, and student exploring the old website. Then, after the site was revised, I had to repeat the process to further improve the site’s usability.

Bandmates
Bandmates User Scenario
Randal was just released from the hospital. He responded to an ad looking for guitarists on CraigsList, but when he arrived to “audition,” he was beaten and robbed. Tired of playing Russian Roulette every time he tried to find people with whom to jam, Randal went to Bandmates.com and created a profile. The questionnaire immediately delighted, because not only did it ask Randal what instrument he played, it asked him how good he was, what genre of music he played and what subgenre of that genre he played. At last, he didn’t have to go to the PNWProgMetal subreddit, frequented by 20 people (10 of whom were bots), to find like minds. Prog Metal was one of several options of subgenre under Randal’s chosen genre, Metal. When he entered not only his skill level but his Bandcamp and Soundcloud profiles as proof, he was thrilled to no longer audition for an “up and coming” band who can’t even tune their instruments. He filled out the remainder of the profile section, including providing information on what equipment he has, his access to practice space, et cetera, and moved on to the next page. There, he was faced with the keystone feature of Bandmates: to be a band looking for mates, a mate looking for a band, or a wandering bard just looking for someone to play rhythm to his lead. He chose to look for a band, and started browsing through the results, filtering them by genres, subgenres, needed members and distance. He found a band he liked, a Progressive Metal & Doomgaze mashup group looking for a lead guitarist, and fell in love with their portfolio of work featured on their profile. He sent the band a direct message, expressing his interest in auditioning, and the rest is metal history.

Currently, my team is working on creating a Bandmates website. The purpose of this website is to connect musicians by shared needs and interests. Musicians will be able to search for one another based on location, and can filter their search through parameters like instrument and genre played, level of skill, level of seriousness, availability of equipment, access to practice space, etc. Profiles will also integrate with and embed discography and media platforms such as YouTube, Bandcamp or SoundCloud. The targeted audience is mainly musicians.

During winter of 2020, I have been working on creating a chatterbot using HTML, SCC and JavaScript. In this chatterbot you need to answer the question and click on a button. This way you get to have a conversation with a computer. This project was easy and fun to work on.
