CS & Business @ UMich

Hi, I'm Glory!


Welcome to my page!

I'm currently a student at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) majoring in Computer Science Engineering and minoring in Business Administration and Management.

Ever since I was a child, I've always loved to tinker around. When I was little, on my birthday I'd receive the knick-knack kits designed for 8-10 year old girls to design dresses, and I'd turn the various wheels, strings, beads, and things I'd find around the house into Rube Goldberg machines. When I got older, this love to create permeated all facets of my life, including as a dancer who loves to choreograph, a (self-proclaimed!) culinary connoisseur who experiments with new recipes whenever she can, and more importantly as someone who liked to take on solving problems efficiently. When I took my first coding class in high school, I fell in love with how elegantly I could design solutions, which led me to my major, computer science.

As a resident of Silicon Valley, I've been exposed to brilliant ideas that dared to become reality. I'm the girl who likes being involved in fast-paced environments, and helping build a start-up or leading a team to produce a product I truly believe in is something I would be very much interested in. The intersection between technology and business, two pervasive industries that affect so many others, is super cool.

Experiences


Respond Software Inc.

Mountain View, CA | Software Engineering Intern
My first internship! I'm so thankful for the opportunity to work at Respond Software Inc., a cybersecurity start-up that registers and detects threatening IT events through machine learning. As their intern, I helped build the web application for their cybersecurity analyst team to input the correct probabilities to detect certain outcomes as a result of a series of events.

University of Michigan College of Engineering

Ann Arbor, MI | Research Assistant
As a member of the selective Michigan Research Community, I helped Professor Eric Johnsen on the project “Bubble Cavitation in Viscoelastic Media for Biomedical Applications.” Essentially, I researched how when ultrasounds are aimed towards certain tissues, how these tissues ultimately react. Extremely volatile, these tissues' bubble dynamics were simulated through an application I helped create to determine how certain factors came into effect. These simulations could potentially help create safer, more focused biomedical applications in the future that would help mitigate collateral damage caused to a patient by providing alternative cancer treatments.

Phi Gamma Nu Business Fraternity

Ann Arbor, MI| Professional Pledge Chair
I was elected as my pledge class's professional chair. I helped my fellow business fraternity members through professional development workshops such as spearheading an internship workshop where I had industry professionals from Google, Detroit Public Health System, Uber, and various start-ups present their experiences working in those fields.

FIRST Robotics

Cupertino, CA| Co-founder/Coach
•Taught fourth and fifth grade girls to build and program Lego Mindstorm robots by holding weekly workshops and providing tutorials on different components of robotics; resulted in the girls’ increased understanding of programming and robotics concepts such as loops, sensors, and debugging.
•Encouraged female participation in STEM fields by fostering curiosity and providing a safe space for young women to learn applications of engineering.

Projects


1st place in Capital One Summit
My first hackathon experience! For 24 hours, my team participated in a hackathon called "Banking for the Unbanked," where we needed to create a product which allowed for users who're traditionally not bank-savvy. In response, we built "Onu," which is a Groupme chatbot that sees safe stocks for the members in the group to buy, and by liking a message, the chatbot can immediately withdraw money from users' bank accounts, deposit in a central account, and use that money to invest in those stocks. Our judges loved the idea so much, they asked us to build a protoype!

Thread Library
Implemented a thread library for a project in my class EECS 482 to show how threads, mutexes, and semaphores are handled in C++ as part of my EECS 482 class.

stocks

Semifinalist in Linkedin Intern Hackathon
Placed top 10 out of 45+ teams by creating a web application which allows users to buy stocks and analyze the trends of what could have happened to make the stocks behave that way through news briefings and articles collected within a certain time range.

Zoo Shortest Pathfinder
Created an optimal and a fast route tracking mechanism given a map containing 2D coordinates using a minimum spanning tree, branch and bound, and Kruskal’s Algorithms. User can use it in 2 different mode to determine which greedy algorithm path finder would work for smaller and larger inputs.

Learn Cricket!
Made an interactive cricket game so user can understand how to play with the perspective of a batsman and from the perspective of a baller, and used probabilitistic outcomes to determine if the user scores 1, 2, 4, or 6 runs based on how good the shot was.
