UCI SALARIES

UCI Salaries was created with the goal of increasing transparency: students should know exactly where their money is going. To that end, the website contains a searchable database of UCI faculty members and their salaries. The salary information was scraped from the official UC payroll database using Python, specifically the library Beautiful Soup. The title and department information was obtained using the same tools from the UCI Campus Directory.


TIME IS MONEY - PRODUCTIVITY TRACKER

Time is Money

In my junior year, I found myself afflicted with a severe Youtube addiction. I was spending hours every day binging random, useless videos. The problem was: I had no idea how much time I was wasting. That's when I got the idea for a Google Chrome extension, Time is Money - Productivity Tracker. The extension allows users to see how much time they spend on each website by day, week and month. I built the extension primarily with JavaScript and a tiny bit of HTML, using Chrome APIs to store user data locally.

After personally testing the extension for a few days, I was shocked by how much time I spent on social media and Youtube, which really motivated me to stop procrastinating and kept me accountable. To help others dealing with procrastination, I decided to put my extension up on the Chrome Web Store, free to download. You can find it here.
