Other Projects

TripCheck

A packing-checklist app that lets you nest items inside other items, so your lists are easier to organize and search than a notes app. It uses a tree data structure and recursive algorithms to handle the nesting.

A flight search app that shows flight options and prices alongside the weather forecast for your destination, all in one place.

About

Hey! I'm Sol, a Software Engineering Fellow with strong problem-solving skills and a passion for building software.

Curiosity and creativity drive my commitment to learning something new every day and with every project. I'm detail-oriented and results-driven, and I enjoy building things from the ground up with strong accountability and teamwork.

I'm passionate about bringing ideas to life, both my own and other people's. What I enjoy most is discovering new techniques that creatively improve processes and final products. I take pride in my work, and my reward is users being happy with a product I helped build.

Lately I've been building with AI-assisted workflows, using tools like Claude Code to move faster while staying hands-on with design, review and testing.
