Introduction

Hi I'm Aditi! I recently completed an Accelerated B.S./MEng Computer Science program at Virginia Tech. During my undergraduate degree, I majored in Data-Centric Computing and minored in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). During my graduate degree, my focus became Software Development & Applications. I started out with little to no coding experience. However, during the first summer of the pandemic, I began self-teaching web development. I built a few projects using HTML, CSS, Javascript and eventually moved on to using libraries like React. Most recently, I learned to code a full-stack application using the VueJS framework in the frontend and MySQL in the backend (for more info, checkout the Projects section!). I soon expanded to the cloud and got certified as an AWS Solutions Architect - Associate. I'm also interested in Machine Learning and Data Analytics, and would like to get more hands-on experience in industry.

Fun Facts

  • I'm multilingual. I speak Hindi, English, and have limited working proficiency in Spanish.
  • I've lived on 3 different continents.
  • I'm a dancer. I was a member of Bhangra at Virginia Tech (2021 - 2022), and currently regularly attend hip hop dance workshops.
  • I do origami. I've dabbled in most modular origami (kusudamas are my favorite), tesselations (Eric Gjerde!), and roses (Kawasaki Rose is the most elegant, in my opinion)

Book of Creativitea

This is the first anthology for CreativiTea, a creative writing club at Virginia Tech. I created this digitally to make it accessible to others during the pandemic. Using turn.js, I was able to animate the book to flip like pages in a real book! The only issue I encountered was making the book responsive.
