Hi, my name is Katherine Choi.

I'm a software developer currently studying at Princeton University.

What I've been up to!

CloudSurfer.AI

CloudSurfer.AI is a startup company I founded alongside two undergraduate Princeton students aiming to simplify digital age data metric analysis through a new artificial intelligence model and real-time data visualization.


Data Privacy Institute

Lead front-end developer for the Data Privacy Institute redesign.
The Data Privacy Institute provides cost-efficient data remediation and compliance services for small-to-medium size businesses. DPI analyzes business websites and ensure they are up-to-date with modern compliance procedures.


Non-Profit Web Development

I'm a member of the Daily Princetonian's web development team, helping craft user friendly interfaces for the newspaper's needs. Additionally, I create accessible websites for non-profit organizations.


Game Development

I honed my C# and JavaScript skills while developing games. I love creating art assets and thrive in collaborative environments, bringing imaginative projects to life both independently and with teams.



CloudSurfer.ai


What's the goal?

CloudSurfer.AI offers businesses a real-time data visualization dashboard tailored for simplifying analytics and storing them all in one place.
As the lead front-end developer, I was tasked with creating an intuitive, visually appealing dashboard designed to show the metrics that matter most for marketing teams. We provide quick access to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that align with campaign goals.

How's it going?

Currently, CloudSurfer.AI's dashboard has a working demo protected by NDA. The API integrations enable real-time processing of existing databases such as Twitter, Twitch, Instagram, and Google. The front end was prototyped on Figma and implemented mostly with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. CloudSurfer.AI currently engages with major organizations valued at $15 billion+.


Data Privacy Institute


What is the Data Privacy Institute?

The Data Privacy Institute offers a suite of privacy and information security policies and procedures templates. The platform is able to be self-managed by businesses or, for an additional cost, can be managed by the Institute itself. The system is able to authenticate, track, and manage requests, recognize and comply with Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, and process agreements with vendors.

What's the progress?

As the Data Privacy Institute looks to expand, we will be moving to a more robust server platform and redesigning both the dashboard and website. We aim to add more life into the website and to further establish credibility and trust in the users.
I'm taking on the role of lead front-end developer while transitioning into developing full-stack as we reconsider our current server infrastructure.


Non-profit Web Development


What's the Daily Princetonian?

The Daily Princetonian Web Development team focuses on telling Princeton's news stories in an interactive and visually appealing way. The team works mostly in HTML, CSS, and Javascript.My favorite project has been the Class of 1999 survey. The team collaboratively drafted ideas of how to display the survey results on Figma, with the intention of creating a nostalgic feel and leaning towards a vibe similar to MySpace and Princeton websites of the time.We ended up creating the survey pictured here! Every button is responsive and leads to different sections of the survey.

What other work have I done?

I designed the website for the nonprofit organization, Subtly Pride, which sold stickers to LGBTQ+ youth. The main difficulty of this project was ensuring it stayed true to the title and was subtle— the nonprofit aimed at allowing kids in the closet to purchase stickers with the colors of their respective pride flags without being forced out of the closet.
Unfortunately, the nonprofit has ceased operation and the website is now down.
The Subtly Pride website helped me land the job of assisting in the redesign of the STEM Coalition website, in partnership with the United States Space Force, aimed at helping children and parents find resources on STEM education.


Game Development


What type of games have I made?

I've always had a soft spot for 2D pixel RPGs, often opting to utilize Unity Engine and C# for development. The game pictured above was created entirely from C# in Unity, with branching choices.
A recent challenge was the design of a virtual reality environment. This project was designed in STEAM VR's environment, HAMMER. The VR space required various 3D models to be developed in Blender, and then integrated into the space.
This project was completed with Julianne Somar and Warren Quan of Princeton University.

What have I done from scratch?

My favorite project I've created from scratch was MentorMon!, a 2D pixel RPG game coded entirely in Python. MentorMon! included randomized battle sequences, dialogue breaks, and a rendered map.
The project was created with my friend, Christopher Li, and ended up winning us Peer Best Project at University of California Irvine's COSMOS program.


About


Hi there! 👋

I'm a software developer with a pixel-filled past as an indie game developer. I'm all about crafting clean, elegant code that's not only functional but also visually delightful. Think of me as the intersection of art and engineering!
When I'm not developing, I'm likely writing my newest creative writing piece, with my wonderful friends, or out playing volleyball.
I'm currently pursuing a BA in Computer Science at Princeton University and am set to graduate in May 2027. Let's build something beautiful together!
