My Story

Hey! I'm Jerry and I'm an enthusiastic student with a passion for computer science. I enjoy learning about new technology and incorporating it in our lives. Aside from academics, I also enjoy hiking, spending time with friends and family, and playing sports.

AAR - Computer Science Research

Advanced Authentic Research is a STEM program offered by my highschool for students. Currently, I am researching the topic of Artificial Intelligence and, specifically, Artificial Neural Networks.

1Trackr - Service Hour Tracking Made Easy

1Trackr was an iOS app that I developed for student interns at my highschool. It streamlines the community service hour tracking process by allowing students to record their hours on their phone. The data is then encrypted and saved in the Cloud. The hour logs can also be exported by administrators.

Community Service Leadership Award

I was awarded 1st Place in the 2016 Chinese-American Youth Community Service Leadership Award - a national competition hosted by the Tianmu American Educational Foundation to encourage community service and cultivate leadership qualities.

Software Development Intern

During a 2 month summer internship at Kiwi Inc., a tech company, I worked with the CEO and the software development team and developed multiple messenger chat bots using various API's. By integrating different API's, I was able to create meaningful chat bots that could engage users.

US House of Representatives Congressional App Challenge

This is a national app challenge for high school students. I received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition from Anna Eshoo for my iOS app 1Trackr which I developed for students at my highschool.
