Hi, my name is Zoe.
I am a software engineering student dedicated to creating efficient solutions with intuitive user experiences. My coding experience ranges from web development to robotics, allowing me to build valuable skills surrounding both functionality and usability.
Projects
Wireless Assessment Rover with Drone Extended Network: a 6-week long project completed during my internship at NJII COMET. Reconnaissance system built for a dense jungle environment with obstructed signal. Led the software team to create control and communication code. Implemented LAN network communication, using the drone as a range extender for the ground vehicle. Used an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano to implement object detection using DetectNet and PlantNet-300K.
PythonC++Raspberry PiOpenCV
Photo gallery built using Next.js to display images. Photo modals include camera settings used on that image and a magnifying glass hover. Automated using a JavaScript program to scrape all new image metadata and populate JSON.
ReactNext.jsJavaScriptGitHub Pages
Integrated VSCode extension that uses OpenAI to suggest code fixes and assist with debugging. Has terminal access and native VSCode support so it has all relevant information and can suggest inline changes. Implemented a follow-up command button to either re-prompt the debugger if solution is not acceptable or check to see if the issue being debugged was resolved.
TypeScriptScrum
Finds the shortest path from one wikipedia article to another using hyperlinks. Uses A* Search with a title overlap heuristic and multi-threading to optimize search time. Outputs a visualized graph with the closest 300 nodes along with search time, number of articles searched, and the final path.
PythonNetworkXMatplotlib
A non-profit donations board where users can select specific needs to add to their cart and checkout. Includes user authentication, different types of users, and account creation, edit, and deletion. Implemented a leaderboard to rank users based on their donations.
