Side Projects

Outside the classroom, I believe action is the best practice. By taking on side projects with new technologies and interesting topics, I expand my interests, deepen my expertise, and build meaningful connections with professionals.

Voice Analysis Workflow Automation

I have always had an interest in automation workflow and AI agents to solve the grunt work and manual labor time cost. This is one of the applications of how I executed the automation workflow I created. I helped the New York State Military Museum to transcribe 29 videos (approx. 1866 minutes long), and use n8n, as well as Google Gemini voice recognition and summarization, uploading to Google Docs to save for easy future use. In a short time, I saved about 300 hours—the time that manual transcribing would have taken.

ESG Intelligence Hub: News, Stocks & AI Chat

I've built an integrated ESG Investment Hub using Next.js for my signature program. This platform empowers users with real-time ESG news from NewsAPI.org and live stock data from Yahoo Finance. I've also incorporated the ChatGPT API to analyze companies' ESG performance and created an ESG chatbot for interactive exploration. It's designed to make sustainable investment decisions clearer and more accessible.

Entrepreneurship and Business Interviews

I want to highlight three of the interviews that I completed, each offering unique perspectives on leadership and management. At the Regional Food Bank in Albany, New York, I spoke with Arin Kutey about how to manage a nonprofit organization and the practical challenges of running a food bank. During Spring Break, I interviewed the chairman of the Everrich Foundation, the largest duty-free company in Taiwan, learning about the duty-free industry, entrepreneurial stories, and how the company navigated challenges during COVID. I also met with Ms. Aviza-Hanrahan, the founder of Rumors Salon & Spa, who shared her personal journey and the challenges she faced with co-founders, banks, and day-to-day operations.

A Dreamlike Fashion Show in the Chemistry Lab

​I study at Emma Willard School, a place known for its historical significance and Gothic-style buildings. I often describe that my high school journey is like a bold dream, and I enjoy the classes I have. I also like to explore different styles of visualizations. In this project, I played with the 80s retro illustration and compared a chemistry class to a girl's fashion show. I used Midjourney and Google Nano Banana to generate, this project is a tribute to the happy memories at my school.
