Project: GlucoQuest – Gamifying Diabetes Education

GlucoQuest is an interactive web-based game I co-developed through a partnership with Dexcom and PilotCity. Designed to educate users about diabetes in a fun, approachable way, it blends game development, health tech, and data science to create meaningful impact.

This project reflects my ability to combine technical skill with creativity, while addressing a real-world issue through technology and design.

Diabetes Risk Prediction with UCI Dataset

I integrated a machine learning feature that predicts a player’s diabetes risk using real health metrics.

  • Trained a logistic regression model on the UCI Diabetes dataset using Pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn.
  • Embedded the predictive tool into the game so players could input data and receive real-time, personalized feedback.

This feature shows my strength in data-driven development, as well as my ability to apply Python and AI tools for socially impactful solutions.

My Role: Scrum Master

As the Scrum Master, I was responsible for:

  • Organizing and leading team stand-ups and sprint planning.
  • Managing the Kanban board to assign tasks, track progress, and ensure deadlines were met.
  • Facilitating collaboration between frontend, design, and data teams.

Certification of Homework Success

Over the course of the year, I earned a series of credentials that reflect my consistent completion of AP CSP lessons and my growth as a computer science student. These certifications represent both technical mastery and creative application.

Credential Type Title 📈 Relevance
Certificate API + Static Data Demonstrated ability to retrieve, parse, and display data from external APIs.
Certificate Database + Deployment Gained backend experience using Flask and deployed full-stack applications.
Certificate Web Security + Domain Ensured real-world accessibility through custom domains, HTTPS, and security best practices.
Certificate JavaScript + Python Built a solid foundation in the two core languages used throughout the course.
NFT Dexcom Simulation Game Design Recognized for unique, creative work combining CS and healthcare through GlucoQuest.
Portfolio LinkedIn Account Developed a professional profile to connect with peers, mentors, and opportunities.

Each certificate reflects not just the completion of technical tasks, but my ability to apply those skills in meaningful ways—especially through cross-disciplinary projects like GlucoQuest and collaborative tools like GitHub and Trello.

Showcasing Projects: Night at the Museum (June 2025)

One of the most rewarding parts of the year was presenting GlucoQuest at Night at the Museum (N@tM) in June 2025. This school-wide event gave students the chance to share their work with families, teachers, and industry professionals.

At my booth, I demonstrated both the core gameplay and the machine learning-based diabetes risk predictor. I explained the technical challenges behind the project, including our use of HTML/CSS, JavaScript, scikit-learn, and deployment tools. I also walked visitors through the Perfect Plate leaderboard and our design thinking process.

What made this event especially meaningful was that I got to speak with former and current Dexcom employees. Some were impressed enough with our project that they offered to connect us to people at the Dexcom office for a possible visit. It felt more like a real networking event than just a school showcase.

Experiences like N@tM helped me improve my public speaking, technical presentation, and real-time demo skills. It was a great way to learn how to communicate ideas clearly to a non-technical audience while making real professional connections.
