Comparing Economic Indicators and COVID-19 Numbers - My project at the Carolina Data Challenge 2020, created in a team of four. We won in our chosen category, Social Science!

This project compared various economic factors (such as GDP change and inflation rate) in many countries with their tallies of COVID cases, deaths, and mortality rates to discover if the two were correlated; our results were a resounding no. Using what we could discern, we created a machine learning model using regression to predict COVID mortality rates across the world in 2021. My role in the project was utilizing the Python library Pandas to reorganize and consolidate data sets for easy visualization, as well as being the main contributor to our accompanying website, linked below!

pronounce.it - My project at HackNC 2019, created in a team of four. We were runners-up in the "Best Beginner Hack" category, as well as Wolfram Award winners!

pronounce.it is an Android app that utilizes native Google speech-to-text API to help users practice pronunciation of foreign languages. Broken into lessons: each lesson has sentences and notifies the user of which specific words they pronounced right or wrong. The wrong ones are cycled back to emphasize correct pronunciation. Read more on the Devpost page and the README file on GitHub!
