Student Engagement Network (SEN) Grant Awardee

The Pennsylvania State University

The SEN grant program is a competitive program aimed at providing funding for students who wish to learn outside the classroom, either by studying abroad, spearheading their own initiative, etc. With this program, I received funding for $2,000 to help with popularizing Nittany Retails around our campus. (Please be aware that the app is currently down from the app stores because of improvements that I'm making right now after talking with some students who downloaded the app before.)

The President Walker Award

The Pennsylvania State University

Awarded to undergraduate students who have earned a 4.0 cumulative grade-point average based on at least 12 credits completed during their first semester.

AP Scholar with Distinction

College Board

"Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams."

2021 Congressional App Challenge

U.S. Congress

An annual, district-specific challenge to create and submit your own original apps. Each winning app is put on display in the U.S. Capitol Building for a year. For this challenge, I entered my previously-developed Android app TalkZone.

Java: A Comprehensive Guide (Part II)

Kindle Direct Publishing

Learning the ins and outs of a new language is no easy task especially when it's an object-oriented computer programming language like Java: hundreds of unfamiliar concepts and rules and words, an entirely different structure than that of our everyday spoken language, not to mention the high potential for embarrassment are enough to intimidate many of us. But don't worry — that's why I wrote this guide for people like you. Consisting of a detailed, foundational Java module and several practice problems on each topic, Java: A Comprehensive Guide is ideal for any student (or curious learner) interested in learning more about Java, studying before a final exam, or even preparing for a coding interview at a software company. A rigorous technical treatment, this book includes topics such as primary data structures, conditional statements, loops, arrays, graphics, interfaces, trees, sets, maps, and much more!

mdadm Library for Linear Devices

In Linux, mdadm (Multiple Disk and Device Management) is a utility used to manage software RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) devices, which combines multiple physical disks into a single logical device to increase performance and reliability. Over the course of a few months, I worked on developing a linear device—a Non-RAID configuration that concatenates the disks like a normal RAID configuration but without the performance increase and redundancy.
