I use Reddit a lot, mainly for discussions, news, cute pictures, cool GIFs, and memes. In the midst of all the subreddits, one in particular, r/AskOuija, is this interesting crossroads of the Internet’s ability to collaborate along with its collective humor. But there’s a problem – on Reddit I can easily save and share images and links I find on the platform, but since r/AskOuija is mainly text, is there a way for me to convert text on Reddit into images (and give me an excuse to learn how to use various web APIs)? This is how I learned to make a Reddit bot.

Factor Graphs and the Matter of Security
In 2017, Equifax had a security breach. The breach caused millions of users’ personal information to be compromised. In 2018, in my data science class, we applied some knowledge on data science, factor graphs, and a bit of networking to detect these kind of attacks.
My Mixer with MiMoSA
In my data science with engineering applications class, I learned how practical data science can be helpful in other fields. In this project, I used clustering and principal component analysis to see if Metformin, a drug used for diabetes, is effective in treating cancer.
Visualizing Air Pollution with Python
During my fall semester senior year, I worked with two things for the first time, Python and data analysis, in an atmospheric sciences-focused computing and data analysis class. At the end of the semester, each of us chose our own dataset and project to work on. I took a dataset that tracked air pollutants within each district of Seoul, South Korea each hour over a week and visualized it. Again, this was all with no prior experience in data analysis and Python, and with no domain knowledge of atmospheric sciences to boot.
