My Projects

July 2020 - August 2020 Front-End Developer, equalize



With equalize, you can view statistics relating to the wage gap between people of different races, genders, ages, and areas of work. All of these statistics come from our database that you can contribute to by filling out a wage form. You can also read other people’s experiences with workplace discrimination in the Incidents page and submit your own account by filling out an incident report form. These features are all meant to highlight workplace discrimination and how much a person’s identity currently affects this.

• Created a website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Firebase Realtime Database that provides a public database of reports and statistics to shine a light on workplace discrimination.
• Honourable Mention at the Black Lives Matter Hackathon.


August 2020 Full-Stack Developer, COVID Community Connections


COVID Community Connections is both a tool for connecting and a tool for educating. Aside from the Experiences feature, the data collected from the forms is also compiled into graphs on the Statistics page. This allows for people to see and interpret crowdsourced information about COVID-19 and its most common symptoms. Additionally, on the Information page, there is a clickable world map that displays up-to-date data relating to COVID-19 cases for every country. On this page, there is also a Fact Checker section that displays common misconceptions about the pandemic and offers credible sources and articles to educate people on the realities of COVID-19.

• Created a website using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, an API for COVID-19 data and Firebase Realtime Database that connects people around the globe by sharing their experiences with COVID-19.
