Experience

Nile Travelogues Python JavaScript SQLite Mathematica

Full stack internship at Newbook Digital Texts, University of Washington NELC

From the ground up, I built a database where you can get info on and read travel logs from the Golden Age of Egyptology. With only OCR scans of Nile Notes of a Howadji, I turned a book into a library with minimal manual work.
