May 1, 2025 - August 31, 2025

Conducted 20+ literature reviews to build a research foundation for creating a well‑being and emotion‑regulation app for undergraduate students. Designed a first interactive prototype using Figma based on collected insights, achieving a 92% positive usability rating in first-round user testing. Analyzed user‑testing data in Excel by cleaning datasets, categorizing qualitative feedback, and generating charts to guide visualization features. Built early backend components (MySQL/FastAPI → MongoDB) and presented finalized data‑tracking visualizations at a virtual research conference.
