Hello! I'm James Ruiz, a rising third year student at UC Irvine who has a passion for problem-solving and full-stack development.
I am a diligent and hardworking student who learns new skills easily and am eager to create practical solutions in software development. What motivates me most is the process of learning; whether it’s exploring new design patterns or diving deeper into new tools, I am constantly improving my craft and gaining new insights every day.
Backlogz grabs a random topic, asks Google's Gemini AI to whip up a short, conversational summary, and reads it out loud using your phone's text to speech. Think of it like a personalized mini podcast feed made from your own curiosity list.
Everyone has experienced feelings of isolation and being overwhelmed. AskHer is an anonymous peer support platform where women can safely share what's on their minds, free from fear or judgment while building a collective community grounded in empathy.
As someone who struggles to build consistent habits, I built a modern habit tracking application to stay motivated. Implemented is a calendar feature and streak tracking to stay aligned with personal goals.
This was my first hackathon project where my team and I designed an CRUD application using the SpotifyAPI to help users for songs, create playlists, and generate reccomended songs based on user playlists.
Worqly Coming Soon...
