Current Occupations

Occupation is a good alternate word for jobs because these are certainly occupying my time at the moment rather heavily. Full-time at being a struggling human being though.

Maybe this could be a good README.md file or something later on.

Obviously this gets edited with time & as life goes, but right now I am:

Apparently I am NYC NASA local lead for the global Space Apps hackathon
Director-at-Large of Hack Manhattan
Doing my master's project at NYIT which relates to the QRG & the Quantum Realm
A Quantum Education Fellow for the international non-profit The Coding School.

Brief Description:

I am a computer science master’s student and quantum coder that is passionate about creating applications that will have real world impacts in the quantum industry. A computer science by training in undergrad and in my master’s, I am hoping to do my research in quantum algorithms so that I may best understand ways in which to code that is best compatible with the reality of quantum mechanics. I am currently the curriculum developer and Quantum Education Fellow at global non-profit Qubit by Qubit which has served to educate over 50,000 children globally to learn quantum computing and to train for a diverse quantum workforce tomorrow. I started the interdisciplinary Quantum Computing Club at my university at NYIT which had no quantum information curriculum in 2019 and presented the outcomes of this at the Max Planck Institute DCURQ2020. For my master’s work, I outlined how classical computing transitioners can learn quantum programming through a simple roadmap that outlined tips, tricks, best practices, as well as sample code and the most current quantum software tools to assist of the time. In 2020, I was chosen as a top 5 out of all applicants for the NNSF Fellowship and interviewed with various national laboratories. I have participated in and won several hackathons and enjoy learning and creating new tools for people to use. I have machine learning experience having underwent the experience of creating a climate technology wind prediction system in 2022 and having interned on the machine learning team in 2021 at a fantastic Materials science and Bio-chem science company called Schrodinger where I assisted in developing their protein prediction software. I have hosted the NASA Space Apps Hackathon in New York City in 2022 and hope to impact others in positive ways as I grow in the future. In my free time, I make things at my local makerspace Hack Manhattan & enjoy listening to others to exchange ideas.

Coding Projects:

A list + description of all the repositories I've worked on in the past or just forked for future programming when I have time:

**Projects:

https://github.com/shwetha729/careerconnect - desktop and mobile application project developed as a career fair connection applications for users to log into at conferences they attend in person for software engineering & management course, programmed in PHP, Javascript, SQL, and JustinMind mobile mockup software
https://github.com/shwetha729/ErrselaPie - python file used to move NYIT’s ETIC center robot E.R.R.S.E.L.A. For more information, visit our robot : E.R.R.S.E.L.A. ETIC Research Robot for Student Engagement & Learning Activities
https://github.com/shwetha729/Python-Peon - a collection of python examples, knowledge base, self-made tutorials, and references of commonly used code to come back to, could have put this on gists but this was made before github gists was a thing.
- https://github.com/shwetha729/Java-jester- same thing as above except for Java
https://github.com/shwetha729/Storm-Station-App - an app that was designed to be programmed for the storm station project we worked on in puerto rico for climate disasters and resilience
https://github.com/shwetha729/Contract_Bridge-Card_Game - I wasn’t able to find a contract bridge card game online after learning more about the game during my time at Schrodinger so I wanted to try making the game.
https://github.com/shwetha729/shwetha729.github.io - personal website that was originally a template and I never updated in a long time. I should probably get around to updating this soon. Uses the jekyll layout and manager.
https://github.com/shwetha729/leetcode-pairing-chrome-extension - In order to better ace coding interviews and assessment but along with other people also trying them, I tried learning to see if i could improve the leetcode pair programming extension. I even got assistance from the original developers since they had stopped working on updates too. I should probably get around to seeing if I could improve this at any point too. A good way to learn about chrome extensions and programming them
https://github.com/shwetha729/Siena-and-Shwetha - one of the first Java software engineering projects made at UCONN with Sienna, a catering & dining application with GUI for multiple orders
https://github.com/shwetha729/fmi-pediatrics-oncology - FAIR data hackathon project with OntoForce where we won runner-up in the competition with 23&me taking first place in 2017.
https://github.com/shwetha729/RobotPathPlanning - forked and implemented for work in Algorithms course at Uconn to demonstrate Djikstra’s algorithm, here used for robot path planning
https://github.com/shwetha729/BeYourHero - for starting out learning about VR, this is a DIY immersive project where you can be your own hero, icon, avatar outside of VRchat which was the only kind of game to allow you to do this at the time.

**Quantum projects:

https://github.com/shwetha729/quantum-go-fish - a YQI hackathon project creating a quantum version of the go fish game. Can read more about gameplay concept here.
- The further repo ahead of commit found here: https://github.com/shwetha729/Feynmans-Fish
https://gitlab.com/shwetha729/lisp-in-quantum/-/blob/main/How_does_Lisp_work.md - a gitlab project outlining how quantum programming works in LISP - a much more intuitive language for quantum computing paradigms.
https://github.com/shwetha729/quantum-sky-oracle - github for final master’s thesis project, a platform for educational resources for quantum-curious as well as roadmap methodology for general outline flow instead of just resources thrown at students.
https://github.com/shwetha729/qrg-2022- website for the NYIT Quantum Computing Club, formerly known as the QRG (quantum research group), now NYIT Quantum seems to be catching on.
https://github.com/shwetha729/DualUnitaryCircuits- constructing dual unitary quantum gate circuits in hilbert space, learn more about how quantum architecture works this way when designing yourself**

**Things i've done^

Things I’m Good at:

Just because i've done those above things doesn't mean that I think I'm necessarily good at it or the best at it even though I may be educated on it or spent quite a bit of time doing it. Things I'm good at are mainly the things I enjoy. These include:

Doodling & drawing
Singing & listening to music
Collective teamwork & cooperation
Trying to do what is ultimately ethical to do
Being understanding to circumstances
Trying new things that I don't understand (which is a lot!)
Playing games (not necessarily winning but just playing if it is fun)
Connecting different things from different topics
Trying to fix things or repurpose them into something else.
