Vocab App API 

                       Oct 2025

We wanted to make our in-house API instead of using an online one that is premade.  Using a premade front-end, we configured our own API for a vocab app with Google OAuth.

  • Developed a cross-platform vocabulary app using React Native, enabling users to create, save, and manage vocabulary lists across Android, iOS, and web, improving accessibility for all supported platforms.

  • Designed and built a custom REST API with Spring Boot and MongoDB, supporting CRUD operations for users and vocabulary lists.

  • Implemented Google OAuth authentication using expo-auth-session, enabling secure user login across devices and improving authentication reliability by 75% compared to manual login.

  • Optimized data handling with AsyncStorage caching and automated testing via Jest + jest-expo, achieving 85% test coverage.

  • Collaborated via GitHub and Slack to deploy the backend API on Heroku.

Predicting Use of

Force in the New Orleans Police Department Dataset

                         May 2025

  • Analyzed New Orleans Police Department’s Use of Force dataset to predict force levels using officer, subject, and contextual features (e.g., race, service years, officer count, proximity).

  • Preprocessed data by handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and engineering features; applied and compared ML models including Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, and K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), with KNN achieving 67.8% cross-validation accuracy.

  • Identified race, ethnicity, and number of officers present as key predictive factors; evaluated class imbalance and contextual complexity to assess model limitations and inform real-world applications.

​Using pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn my team and I 

  • Conducted exploratory analysis on Sonoma County Animal Shelter data to examine how breed, intake type, and other factors influence adoption rates and shelter stay duration.

  • Cleaned and preprocessed the dataset by removing incomplete records and converting columns to appropriate data types; used groupby and crosstab to aggregate and compare adoption trends.

  • Visualized key insights using bar plots and histograms to highlight breed-specific stay lengths, intake effects, and outcome patterns, helping inform policy and outreach strategies.
