TASAP

Mentoring App developed in IOS and Android platforms. We designed the UX interface and

developed the backend software which is coded in Swift and Java on a Firebase database. It is already available on Android and iOS. 

Tasap helps you find the best tutors in one place! It  provides you with the best tutors based on your location and university and assures you the tutors have taken your classes and are familiar with the curriculum! You can instantly see the tutors’ availability with the in-app calendar, as well as their reviews and for more information, there is a chat feature embedded in the app.

For more information, you are always welcome to visit our website www.tasap.org

SALESFORCE - TABLEAU

I Worked in Tableau’s Metrics team to develop a new feature that compares a KPI with historical data for the mobile and desktop versions. Tableau users can author metrics with historical comparisons on mobile and server. The feature was launched in October 2021 and has been used by millions of active users.

During the internship, I applied Software Engineering practices such as Scrum Agile and Azure DevOps methodologies. Furthermore, I mastered Software Engineering tools like Kotlin, C#, Typescript, React, Redux, React-Native, HTML, and CSS.

RESEARCH

Data Science

Similarities between Science Fiction and Space Exploration

I Used Topic Modeling, Word embedding, and Deep learning in order to find similarities between all the NASA recorded projects, 500 science fiction movie scripts, and 500 science fiction books from Project Gutenberg.

Computer Science

GITLET

Coded in Java. A version-control system that mimics the futures of the system Git. Gitlet supports saving the contents of entries directories of files, viewing the history of your backups, maintaining relating sequences of commits, merging changes made in one branch into another, etc.

ACE LAB

Part of the Algorithms for Computing and Education (ACE) lab. ACE Lab brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from Computer Science, the iSchool, and the Graduate School of Education, working at the intersection of education and computing.

Our projects involve novel educational software that helps educators educate better and students learn better, spanning traditional, online, and hybrid learning. The ACE Lab’s physical location is the BiD Lab (Berkeley Institute of Design), room 360, Hearst Memorial Mining Building.

Worked on the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) project. I Developed automatic question generators based in Python, HTML, and JavaScript. Digitally transformed questions from previous Compsci 10 exams on a platform named Prairielearn. Prairielearn allows you to submit different variants for each question. Furthermore, I designed and launched a cheating detection system using data science techniques based in Python.

UTK

UTK United Technologies for Kids is a non-profit organization that promotes science and technology education in developing countries through the implementation of Makerspaces and co-curricular programs to develop social impact projects. We implement STEM Laboratories and programs in schools which include technologies such as 3D printing and design, electronics, programming and drones. UTK works as a platform to transfer knowledge from international and local universities to high schools. We partner with two student organizations from US Universities, INvent at UC Berkeley and INvent at The University of Michigan and also with MISTI Department at MIT. In Peru, we partner with INvent organizations at UTEC, PUCP, UNI, UCSMP, and UDEP.

UTK is currently working with 50 schools in Peru and Colombia, inspiring and training more than 1000 students to build social innovation projects that address community problems using technology. Furthermore, we’ve built a 150 undergraduate instructors network by partnering with US Universities: MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives and MIT J-WEL Lab, Invent student organizations at UC Berkeley and Stanford University
