For this project, I worked in the Logic Team with two other members. We focused primarily on constructing the backhand system performances and functions of the app. Specifically, I worked with my mentor and Joaquinn on building the connection with Amazon Cloud. 

During the two weeks of my internship, I got to know a lot of new people that were different in personality and in specialities. I am grateful that I was able to work with such amazing individuals to develop an app of our own. The experience was bittersweet and filled with moments of joy but also extreme stress as our app kept collapsing one day after the other. However, I enjoyed every moment of it and would recommend others to try.

During this internship, I was part of the logic team with Jiaying and Ryan, where we worked on the back end of the app, which mainly focused on the authorization between the app and Amazon in order to get information to be put into the app.

My time spent in the internship has vastly changed my perspective of the program as well as what I expected to create throughout it. Making an app was difficult as I had no prior knowledge, but seeing it come to fruition was enjoyable. The people I worked with were very nice and helped out an incredible amount, and I'm glad that I could work with them. I highly recommend this program to others.

Unfortunately, before the internship, I had made plans with my school to go on a college-related trip, missing the latter half of the program. Although absent, I kept up with the team and formed a strong sense of camaraderie with them. Keeping up with any tasks and communicating with the team to contribute as much of my resources as possible.

Throughout the internship, I was able to apply computer science concepts and improve my collaborative skills in a “team” environment. Going into this internship, I was curious about the realm of computer science and  (upon numerous trial and error) realized that if I were to go into this field, I would have a long road ahead of me.

In the UH Computer Science Internship, I was a member of the logic team. The logic team was in charge of creating the coding that made the app function. Specifically, I was tasked to reword the prompt sent to ChatGPT. Professor Mahdi initially created a prompt, and it wasn't working properly, unsuccessfully formatting the information. With the newly reworded prompt created, we were now receiving the right information, formatted correctly.

These two weeks were extremely stressful but rewarding as well. From waking up early to learning extremely advanced coding, it was a definite struggle. Although tough, I learned lots about this field, and the possible interest in similar jobs. I enjoyed working with the team, and I feel as if everyone was one, unselfish and knowing they had to complete their part to finish the app. This experience of Project Hokulani was truly one of a kind and recommended to everyone, as it will definitely set you up for the future.

During this internship, I was apart of the UI/UX design team and we designed the overall layout and aesthetics for the app. We worked on the logo, color scheme, and selection of the arrangement of our app pages of and buttons.

While these two weeks felt like they went by quickly, looking back on the insightful experience and knowledge I was able to gain during this internship, I am grateful for the opportunity to work with my mentors while learning about computer science with those in my internship. This internship was able to give me valuable experience about the vast growing field of computer science.

In my internship, I contributed by being an important member to the UI/UX design team. Our group was responsible for creating the layout and the overall design of our app. I designed three pages of the app: the login, receipt detail, and receipt image page. 

During these two weeks of my internship, I got to work together with everyone to get more experience on computer science. We were able to learn how to create our own app using AppGyver. But also, the whole process on how real app developers create apps.

During my internship, I had the privilege of working as a member of the UI/UX design team, responsible for crafting the app's layout and overseeing all creative aspects of its design. 

During this two week period of our internship, It was an experience to remember as we had amazing mentors who taught us the basics and even some advancing data analytics that were well above college level. We dove straight into the growing and immersive usage of AI that will most definitely revolutionize the way our world works. I know without a doubt that what I learned in this two week span will set me apart from others in college and for the rest of my life.
