Alex Cui
Software Engineer, Web developer, Human
Hi, I'm Alex and I have a passion for telling computers what to do! I am most interested in full-stack web development, with more of an interest in the front end. When I'm not coding, you can find me thrifting, listening to music, or trying out new cafes!
What I've been up to...
I have been working as a full-time software engineer at Smartbot360, that is now a part of KLaunch!
Built a web app that finds all faces in a user-submitted image and guesses each person's age and gender. Uses a cloud architecture to save processing time. Worked entirely on the front end and cloud.
Created a Chrome extension that enables a dark mode for Crunchyroll.com. Also can hide video thumbnails, enable a theater mode, and hide ads and banners.
Created a Google Chrome extension that notifies when new items are uploaded onto Depop.com. Uses the Chrome API to store your saved searches and periodically fetches results in the background.
Built a web app that displays and analyzes YouTube videos given a dataset. Can manipulate the dataset, backup/load data into a new file, or display analytics in the form of line graphs and pie charts.
