Sandy Tsan
I am a recent alumni at UC Riverside with a Bachelors' in Computer Science. I've been dabbling in lots of spaces such as graphic design, teaching Computer Science, making web applications, and more. My overall passion lies in creating content that reaches everyone, whether it is a banner for an event or an online planner for travelers. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to get in contact with you soon!
About Me
My first encounters with coding started in 2010 when I wanted to personalize my posts in online forums using HTML and CSS. This was also when I first started dabbling in digital design, as I wanted to embellish the post with my own custom embedded pictures. My interest in customizing my own profiles and generating designs spanned across all the websites I went on, including Neopets and Tumblr.
Needless to say, I have extensive experience in both programming and design. In high school, I had my designs published in t-shirts and took the newly offered computer science course. For college, I graduated with a Bachelors' in Computer Science and I've curated many graphics for various non-profit organizations and large-scale events. Currently I'm looking for new opportunities to kick start my career! Please don't hesitate to contact me here if you're interested.
Featured Projects
Made with: Hadoop DFS, PostgreSQL, Java
The project is an Instagram-esque application with a terminal-style menu to navigate the app. The system allows users to add a post, follow other users, view other posts from people they follow and view a feed of the top photos based on the people they follow. Searches can be made to view users based on their username and tags. Users can also search photos based on tags and users. There is also an option to list the most popular photos and users in the application.
Made with: Arduino UNO R3, C for ATmega1284
Pet Simulator is an interactive game where the main goal is to take care of a virtual pet, taking inspirations from Bandai's Tamagotchi of the late 1990s. In this game, players can feed, play, and wash their friend in order to maintain its time-decrementing health bar. If the player is feeling particularly malicious, there is also an option to kick the pet, which decreases the health bar.
Made with: Google App Engine, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Yelp API
guideme is a web application that plans a full three-day trip for travelers. This app presents users with the most comprehensive list available for the cities the user wishes to travel to. It pulls the best matched places and restaurants from the Yelp API and displays them in an easy-to-read itinerary-style format that can later be accessed by the user.
