Full stack · hackathon team

Developed Equal Writes at a 2022 hackathon, a web application that scans job postings for biased language and highlights phrases that require adjustment, aimed at improving inclusive hiring practices and increasing diversity awareness in recruitment.

Built a bias-detection algorithm in Python that analyzes posting text against a curated dictionary of biased keywords and phrases, increasing detection accuracy by 30% over the initial baseline within the hackathon window.

Resolved 10+ UI and UX defects and optimized frontend responsiveness through targeted CSS and React component work, improving perceived user experience and reducing processing time by 40%.
