📌 Overview of Projects

As Scrum Master, I led a team of over 20 students in the end-to-end development of Gamify, an educational platform composed of interactive learning games.

One of our core modules was a real-time stock market simulator:

  • 💻 As a Full-Stack Developer, I helped create both backend data pipelines and frontend UI for stock trading using fake currency.
  • 🔗 I integrated the Yahoo Finance API to fetch real-time stock data, enhancing realism and learning value.
  • 🗃️ Designed an SQLite schema with one-to-one mapping to user profiles for clean and scalable data structure.
  • 🎨 Contributed extensively to the frontend, crafting an aesthetic and user-friendly design that worked seamlessly across devices.

📜 Certification of Articulation Success: Data Structures

✅ Lesson 1: Greedy Best-First Search & Graph Heuristics

  • I learned how heuristic-based strategies like Greedy Best-First Search provide rapid solutions for complex graph problems by prioritizing estimated proximity to the goal.
  • I explored real-world tradeoffs in algorithm design, understanding how speed vs. accuracy plays out in domains like routing and AI pathfinding.

✅ Lesson 2: Dijkstra’s and A* Algorithms

  • I mastered the A* algorithm, appreciating how it smartly balances actual cost and heuristic estimates (f(n) = g(n) + h(n)) to find optimal paths faster than Dijkstra’s alone.
  • Through A* and Dijkstra’s, I understood cost functions and admissible heuristics as key data structure tools for building intelligent search algorithms in games, navigation, and networks.

🧪 Blog: Showcasing Projects — N@TM (Night at the Museum)

We showcased our team projects at Night at the Museum (N@TM) in June 2025. This public exhibition allowed us to:

  • Present our platform and receive real-time feedback from educators, peers, and industry visitors.
  • Improve our project through iteration, based on the insightful suggestions and reactions we received during the showcase
  • Link

The event emphasized the importance of public speaking, user experience, and responding to constructive feedback — all essential developer soft skills.
