College Transfer Search

At Women in Computer Science (WiCS), I was part of a five-person team that created a web app for DeAnza College graduates to find the best school to transfer to. We collaborated on weekly and monthly planning and then met in pairs to discuss and complete tasks. 

My role involved researching and experimenting with different frameworks like Flask and FastAPI to select the most suitable one. I also worked with the raw data from the Department of Education to determine what measures were available to us and which ones we wanted to include in the app. 

While we focused on functionality over design, we ensured the user interface could scale for future enhancements. We presented the project at a quarterly WiCS meeting and I continued to mentor several groups of students on projects.
