The [Newport Cisco Network Academy](https://bsd405.org/nhs/tag/cisco/) provided opportunities for applying the computer networking and IT skills learned in the classroom. As part of the *Computers For The World* annual project of the [Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club](https://bbrc.net/), we refurbished donated laptops, routers, access points, switches, etc., traveled to the island of [Antigua](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigua_and_Barbuda), assessed existing installations and environment, installed and configured network equipment, and documented our findings and work.

The 2020 mission (trip taken prior to March 2020) consisted of a team of 20+ students refurbishing nearly a thousand laptops and 200 pieces of networking equipment.

We shipped an entire container's (1 TEU) worth of networking equipment, computers, printers, projectors, sewing machines, and other miscellaneous materials. The bulk of computer equipment were graciously donated by the [Bellevue Schools Foundation](https://www.bellevueschoolsfoundation.org/) (Bellevue, Wash.) and [Fluke Corp.](https://www.fluke.com/) (Everett, Wash.).

This was an extremely fast-paced project, a group of 14 students (incl. myself) and a handful of industry professionals were able to perform on-site design and deployment at 20 schools over the course of 10 workdays.

Increasing connectivity, especially in geographically-challenged areas, opens new opportunities and lowers the cost to education. This was a fulfilling trip as it allowed me to apply what I learned in the classroom, travel and explore a different culture and environment, and do charity work.

Arduino, temperature, humidity, accelerometer, and gyroscope sensors. Also, a GoPro taking timed photos and a GPS receiver to record position.\
\
The box and inside frame is designed in AutoDesk Inventor and built with foam walls and lots of glue and tape. The frame is 3D printed and went through many iterations. The entire structure is tested to ensure everything stays intact throughout all stages of the mission, including touchdown.\
\
At launch, the box is stuffed with foam and hand warmers to keep the computer above operating temperature.

Each balloon has a computer with GPS, tracked in-flight using APRS.

Software engineering

International exchange student, with a focus on Augmented Reality

Reverse-engineered our school district's gradebook vendor's iOS app to build our own gradebook viewer with more functionalities, such as letting us add theoretical assignments to calculate our potential course grade, while remaining in compliance with FERPA.

"Gradebook"

An early-Web ("Web 1.0") styled personal website.

Personal fun website

Personal website, built with SASS and JADE. Architecture minimizes additional HTTP requests and readability without styles (i.e. stylesheets failed to load or screen reader).

Built parallax background effect in Javascript, fallbacks to static image on unsupported or unideal (UX) environments.

Added accessibility features, including font size, high contrast, reduced motion toggles and tested with Apple-platforms and Windows screen readers.

Deployment script builds to HTML, server serves static HTML (dumb server).
