I'm Melissa! I recently graduated from UCSB with a degree in biochemistry-molecular biology, but my path took a turn towards computational biology and programming.
Currently, I'm working on some projects to gear my skillset towards work as a software developer, data analyst, or the like! The latest and greatest is a recipe matching web application (cool name: tbd). This application is supported by a Python-powered REST API, and utilizes an AWS event-driven pipeline to integrate millions of recipes from various sources on an EC2-hosted Postgres database. Take a look at some of the associated repos below.
| Repository Name | Description | Language |
|---|---|---|
| usda-fdc-data | Repository for cleaning, processing, and wrangling USDA FoodData Central datasets. | Python |
| recipe-urls | Python 📦 to compile recipe URLs from recipe websites. | Python |
