Using Hack and React, I created an internal tool to parse complex text files into a visual hierarchical tree structure.
This visualization tool alleviates debugging time by helping engineers pinpoint where their issues lie.
I presented the tool to the Facebook Stories Delivery Team and received positive feedback that the tool would be beneficial for future use.

As a project manager and software engineer, I evaluated the team's technology needs and suggested improvements to hardware and software.
September 2018 - December 2018
Utilizing GameMaker, we implemented a maze-oriented game where the player, a caveman, has to navigate a maze to find the exit without getting caught by the dinosaur.
The game is accessible for players with glaucoma and color blindness because the player's screen is zoomed in on the caveman and his surroundings, not the entire maze, and the game includes a black-and-white color mode.
We presented our final game demo as a team to a group of high school students and received the second-best overall game out of ten projects.
