disco ball   A Peek Inside My Head

Hi, my name is Mindy!

I'm a rising senior at the University of Missouri - St. Louis, expecting to graduate Fall of 2023. I'm in love with the different ways technology has renovated and designed our world; I want to contribute to this movement by integrating coding, data, and new technology into the fields that interest me the most - particularly any social science or creative domain. Outside of coding, I love to play my guitar and am obsessed with how media and art shape our culture.


My Projects

Here's a compiled list of my on-going works in progress as well as my completed projects.

  • Spotify "Re-Wrapped"
    • Created with the help of Spotify's API and Python, I made my own version of the yearly Spotify wrapped feature. With the help of a few functions, I cleaned and fetched the data from my listening profile. I used the Pandas to organize each artist and song into a dataset, and lastly, converted my sorted data to a spreadsheet to display on a front-end application. This project not only helped me learn how to properly handle and clean data, but I also was gifted with a soundtrack to my own year.
  • Depression Prediction Model
    • Class project intended to solve a problem using Data Science principles. I wanted to integrate my passion for Behavioral and Psychological Sciences with the knowledge I obtain from learning about machine learning, data collection and exploration, and analyzing and evaluating a binary classification problem. This is still a work in progress [will be updated by end of April].
  • Calculator
    • This was a simple project I made in Python with the help of Tkinter. Utilizing OOP concepts, I created a fully functional calculator. This was my first introduction to learning the powerful language of Python.
  • Receipt Generator
    • I utilized concepts of OOP, particularly Java, to take input from users and compare it with inventory to generate a receipt. This was the smaller stepping stone to my next project: a POS system. I work as an assistant manager, so I'm constantly hearing critiques about our outdated technology. I plan to: develop a functional POS system for my workplace that includes features such as: a tip function that calculates new total, integrate an API to give delivery services the best possible route for faster deliveries, and an easier system to modify existing menu items.
