Hello, I'm Evelyn Li.

I'm a recent computer science graduate from the University of California, Irvine. I'm proficient in programming in Java, Python, and C++, and have experience with full stack web development. I'm always driven to learn more to improve my skills and strive to bring value to my projects and work. As a creative, I'm drawn to UI/UX and graphic design as well.

I'm seeking entry-level, full-time job opportunities in the southern California area as a software engineer or web developer.

In my free time, I love studying foreign languages and reading.

Projects

Empethy

Winter 2018

Empethy is a website created by a team of 6 focused on helping people with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety by allowing users to speak to an AI chatbot and complete calming exercises. It was developed using HTML, CSS, and Javascript with Git for version control, and backed by user experience research. I personally worked on developing the chatbot using DialogFlow.

Personal Portfolio/Website

Fall 2017

I created a personal portfolio website for the Informatics 133 User Interaction Software course at UC Irvine. I conducted user interiews, user testing, and built a website using HTML, CSS, and Javascipt in order to learn about UIs and UX that would appeal to users of my website. The research can be found at the link above.

Fabflix

Spring 2017

Fabflix is a movie database website similar to IMDB, build for the Comp Sci 122B Project in Databases and Web Applications course at UC Irvine. It was built in a team of 3 using Java Servlets, JSP, the Bootstrap framework, and a backend server on an AWS Linux server using MySQL to make advanced searches for movies in the database and display movie information.

It was tested on a local machine with Apache Tomcat and published as a web application on Amazon AWS.

SmileRun

Spring 2017

SmileRun is a web game implemented in Python, Javascript, HTML, and CSS using the Microsoft Emotion API. By recognizing the user's facial expression, the player character is able to move within the obstacle course. Within a team of 4, I personally worked on HTML and CSS. This project was built for the AthenaHacks 2017 all-female hackathon at USC and it won the Organizer's Favorite award.
