Projects

CelestiaTrack (NASA Space Apps Hackathon)


Description:

Using API written in Python, efficiently extracted and decoded precise ephemeris databases, with more then 1 million entries, about various planets from JPL’s Horizons System, allowing my team to create an accurate Dynamic 3D Orrery model of our Solar System. Project built for NASA Space Apps Hackathon.

Physics Club Website


Description:

Used ReactJS, HTML, and CSS, to create an interactive website for the schools physics club, which included important information about club activities, as well as an embeded sign up form which facilitated 30+ students to join the club. Creatively employed EmailJS, a back-end service which allowed me to create a responsive form that passed user feedback straight into the clubs email inbox.
