At a DemocracyLab event, I consulted with a volunteer for PeaceTrees, a non-profit organization that helps communities in Vietnam. I got to learn about their mission to remove activated ordinance left behind from the Vietnam War. The organization had been designing an interactive map to embed on their website to raise awareness for their projects in the region. From previous events, the project was partially implemented. I gave their work a technical review and made recommendations on next steps to carry the project forward.

Space Apps is fast paced event for building applications to solve challenges for NASA. Teams collaborate over a weekend to design, build, and test proof of concept solutions. My team researched and developed a realtime and crowdsourced wildfire safety Android app. We believe our app would help people report and avoid hotspots.
