Who am I

Personal Introduction • Background

Hello! My name is Amy Nguyen. I am an aspiring developer and wish to hone my skills into my career path. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Computer Science from California State University Fullerton. I enjoy playing video games, jamming to music, gyming, and creating mini projects. Showcased here are my projects I have created; they range from mobile applications to 3D modeling for video games. Despite having a variety of projects, I want to pursue a stronger field in web development.

My Skills

Technical Expertise • Programming

I've developed a diverse skill set that spans across multiple domains of software development. My programming languages include Swift for iOS development, Python for backend and data analysis, JavaScript for interactive web experiences, and SQL for database management. In terms of frameworks and tools, I'm experienced with SwiftUI for creating beautiful iOS interfaces, Three.js for immersive 3D web graphics, React for dynamic user interfaces, and various database systems for robust data management. What sets me apart is my ability to combine technical proficiency with creative vision. I don't just write code - I craft experiences that engage users and solve meaningful problems.

My Interests

Hobbies • Passions • Inspiration

Beyond the world of coding, I'm deeply passionate about creative technology and artistic expression. Music production is one of my biggest interests - I love creating soundscapes and experimenting with audio visualization techniques that bring music to life in visual form. I'm fascinated by 3D art and spend considerable time exploring tools like Blender to create digital sculptures and environments. The intersection of art and technology excites me, especially in emerging fields like virtual and augmented reality where I can create immersive experiences that engage multiple senses. Music plays a huge role in my creative process and I believe that the best technology solutions often come from approaching problems with an artist's eye.

My Experience

Work • Projects • Learning Journey

Through various projects and coursework, I've gained hands-on experience across the full spectrum of software development. From building iOS applications that solve real-world problems to creating immersive web experiences with 3D graphics, each project has contributed to my growth as a developer. My experience spans full-stack development, mobile app creation, database management, and creative technology. I've worked on everything from food delivery applications to audio visualizers, each teaching me valuable lessons about problem-solving, user experience design, and the critical importance of writing clean, maintainable code. What I've learned most is that great software isn't just about technical excellence - it's about understanding users and creating solutions that feel intuitive and delightful to use.

Food Deli iOS App

iOS Development • Swift & SwiftUI

A comprehensive food delivery application built from the ground up using Swift and SwiftUI. This project showcases modern iOS development practices with a focus on creating an intuitive and visually appealing user experience. The app features real-time order tracking that keeps users informed throughout their delivery journey, secure user authentication to protect personal information, an elegant restaurant browsing interface that makes discovery enjoyable, and seamless payment integration for a frictionless checkout experience. Built with performance optimization in mind, the app demonstrates advanced iOS patterns including MVVM architecture, Combine framework for reactive programming, and custom animations that bring the interface to life.

Audio Visualizer

Web Development • Three.js & WebGL

An interactive 3D audio visualizer that transforms music into stunning visual art in real-time. This project explores the intersection of audio processing, 3D graphics, and user interaction to create an immersive multimedia experience. Built with Three.js and WebGL, the visualizer features dynamic particle systems that dance to the rhythm, responsive lighting effects that react to audio frequencies, multiple visualization modes to suit different musical styles, and customizable color schemes that allow users to personalize their experience. The technical implementation involves complex audio analysis using the Web Audio API, efficient 3D rendering optimized for smooth 60fps performance, and sophisticated shader programming to create visual effects that feel alive and responsive to the music's emotional content.

Music Mixer Hardware

Hardware Programming • Raspberry Pi & Python

A custom-built music mixing station that brings the power of digital audio workstations into a tactile, hardware-based interface. This project demonstrates the integration of hardware and software to create professional-grade music production tools. The mixer features physical knobs and sliders for intuitive real-time audio manipulation, MIDI integration for seamless connectivity with existing music software, a responsive touch-screen interface for visual feedback and control, and robust audio processing capabilities perfect for live performances. Built on a Raspberry Pi foundation with custom Python software, the project showcases embedded systems programming, real-time audio processing, hardware interface design, and the challenges of creating reliable performance hardware that musicians can depend on in live settings.

Fullerton Vending Database

Database Management • MySQL & Python

A comprehensive vending machine management system designed specifically for the Cal State Fullerton campus. This project demonstrates enterprise-level database design and management for real-world operational challenges. The system provides robust inventory tracking across multiple campus locations, detailed sales analytics for business intelligence, automated maintenance scheduling to ensure optimal machine performance, and real-time reporting capabilities accessible through an intuitive web dashboard. Built with MySQL for reliable data storage and Python for backend processing, the project showcases database optimization techniques, complex query design for analytics, automated reporting systems, and the integration of multiple data sources into a unified management platform.

Hanloda's Avatar Company
