Current Projects

Capstone
For my capstone project, my team and I developed a Student Attendance Tracking System for the Hynes Institute at Iona University. The system is designed to streamline and digitize the process of tracking student attendance at events hosted by the institute. The project involved building a user-friendly web application that allows students to easily sign in to events using either their ID number or a QR code. The system is integrated with a secure backend database to store attendance data, which staff can efficiently query, analyze, and export for reporting purposes.

Costa Jewelry
I spearheaded the development of a highly customized Shopify store using the premium Prestige theme. The project involved the following key steps: Brand Identity & Customization: I integrated Costa Jewelry’s brand identity into the store, carefully selecting fonts, colors, and layout options to create an elegant and luxurious shopping experience. Product Categorization & Photography: Collaborated with the client to categorize jewelry collections, including Wedding Bands, Religious Jewelry, and Portuguese Jewelry, and captured high-quality product images for each category.

Avocado Content Creator
This project focuses on building an automated TikTok news content account targeting a demographic of 18-40-year-olds. The primary goal is to deliver major news events in a straightforward, informational style while also covering lesser-known stories for diverse content.

The system is integrated with a secure backend database to store attendance data, which staff can efficiently query, analyze, and export for reporting purposes. The project not only focused on the technical development of the app, using React and Node.js, but also required extensive collaboration with various university departments to ensure data privacy compliance under FERPA and other regulations. The system provides a seamless and consistent user experience, using Iona University's branding, while improving data accuracy and efficiency for event management.
