About

Hello and welcome to my portfolio website! I am James Daza, a senior at UCSD pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science. I am driven and passionate about computer science. I continuously expand my skill set and learn new technologies. In my spare time, I like to self-study. I also work efficiently and communicate effectively with others and thrive within a team environment. An interesting fact about me is that I enjoy competing in amateur esports leagues playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in a UCSD club that faces other Universities. I attribute some of my team skills to competing in traditional high school sports as well as esports in my free time.

Projects

Bullet Journal Web App that allows users to create lists and keep track of reminders

Bullet Journal

I worked in a team with ten other students to create an online Bullet Journal while utilizing the agile process. We had three distinct sprints for our team and did daily standups, weekly team meetings, and retrospectives to gauge our efficacy during development. We had three main groups during development. We had designers who created lo-fi and hi-fi designs of the UI, front-end who created the elements of the website, and back-end, where I was, that would figure out how to store and query. We used indexedDB to store user data in local storage and passed our functions to the front-end team. After the initial setup, I transitioned into a more testing role setting up jest scripts to test our indexedDB database. Passing the test script was required for pull requests into our main git branch.
