My name is James Kang

I am a recent University of Oregon graduate pursuing opportunities in Computer Science. During my time at the University of Oregon, I have worked on various projects such as designing software to coding software. I have also worked on group projects where I operated as the project manager, making sure deliverables were met and the project was running on time.

Python

I have 4 years of experience with Python. Starting from Hello World all the way to advanced software projects.

C++

C++ is one of my favorite languages due to it's compile time being one of the fastest in modern languages. As such, half of my projects have utilized C++.

HTML

Over the last few years I had to make multiple webpages (this one as well) using HTML. I also use CSS, Java, and Bootstrap.

Smart Keyboard

One of my first big scale projects was called the Smart Keyboard. There were three main parts for this project. The UI, predicting the end of the word, and predicting the next word.

The idea was similar to the keyboards commonly found on phones. This project was entirely written in C for optimization purposes.

I worked on the predicting the end of the word. Whenever a user types any partial word (even a full word) it'll look through our trie structure until it can give us the 3 words that was used the most by the user. The more you use a word the more likely it'll suggest that word to you. Data for this was pulled from the dictionary and text messages.

Then my partner and I created the UI of functioning keyboard using C's Ncurses.

About me

My family came to the US when I was 10 and I have been here ever since. I am looking to gain more experience in computer science by staying in the United States.

I graduated from the University of Oregon on June 2020 (what a bad time to graduate) with a major in Computer science and a minor in business. I have a few small projects that I am working on for local restaurants but I am hoping to expand my skills. I am eager to learn and open to relocation.

I have worked with many different platforms including but not limited to: Python, C++, HTML, Flask, PHP, SQL, GIT, AWS. I do have more things that I am familiar with however my biggest strength is my ability to learn things quickly, my communication skills and my determination to meet deliverables.

Thank you for your consideration and your time!
