Receipt Parse 2023

People are continually making purchases from stores. Thus, examining receipts allows for valuable insights into the types of stores and products that individuals purchase/frequent. This converts receipts through a data pipeline where the paper receipts information is displayed in an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) - text file format and converted into JSON objects that represent how humans may classify receipts with the assistance of Large Language Model (LLM) ChatGPT4 (latest version 2023). Upon creation of JSONs, K-Nearest Neighbors was used to assist in the classification of vendor and product categories. The findings are displayed through visualizations on a Dashboard.

Climate Change Through Narrative Visualization 2023

Climate change has become an increasingly present issue in society and is attributed to the developments of climate change that have led to warmer temperatures. Yearly higher temperatures have had an impact on our everyday lives. This creates worse and more frequent weather catastrophes along with warmer waters, and melting ice caps in the Arctic which leads to higher sea levels. High sea levels intrude onto land, removing space for housing, agriculture, and changing the ecosystem. Some states have acknowledged the harmful effects of climate change and have legislation to mitigate the effects of climate change, such as clean energy goals. However, some states do not have any initiatives. It's important to be aware of the impacts of climate change and commit to mitigation efforts.

Virtual Campus Tour 2022

As of Fall 2022, the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM), had a virtual campus tour comprised of YouTube videos along with a third-party application that describes the buildings. By UHM having a virtual campus tour, it allows for the university to be more accessible to out-of-state and neighboring island residents who are not able to visit campus. Therefore, my team and I created a virtual campus tour with the idea of it being 'for students by students.’

From Aspiration to Realization: A Comparative Study of Salary Expectations and Real-World Experiences among Alumni and Current Students in Hawai'i 2021

Students tend to pursue post secondary education with the perspective that gaining these credentials allows them to be more employable. Thus, the examination of salaries and personal fulfillment allows for students to understand how alumni perceive their post secondary education success. The objective of this study is to understand how University of Hawaiʻi (UH) alumni fare post graduation in Hawaiʻi compared to those in the continental United States (US), US Census Bureau data, and student perception of their post-graduation prospects. This study entailed a survey being sent out that consisted of various questions surrounding demographics, campus attending, latest/current degrees in progress, and occupational details (e.g. salary, place residing, etc.). Upon data collection, all data was anonymized and all salaries were considered with inflation. Furthermore, data science principles were used to conduct the comparison and aggregate statistical analysis. The majority of alumni data collected can be noted to be statistically similar compared to the US Census Bureau data. It can also be observed that those who currently work in Hawaiʻi have more personal fulfillment in their careers. The student perception demonstrates a desire to stay in the islands, but the salary expectations differ. These findings demonstrate how UH alumni fare in industry and allow for the community/administration to see how their students succeeded and how they perceived their career successes.
