Hi! My name is

Liza George.

I am a student at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign pursuing a joint BS+MCS degree in computer science. I've previously held SWE internship positions at Microsoft and Uber, and currently work as a Research Intern and Course Assistant on campus. I love pushing myself in my studies and work, and get excited at any opportunity to learn something new.

Welcome to my dev portfolio website! Scroll around to see a bit of my latest work and experiences. And if you want to get in touch…

My experiences

My Projects

Uber Intern Project (Invoices Page)

An API and corresponding interface that allows internal operations team to query and sort all B2B invoices.

  • Built in Go, using protobuff protocol.
  • Collaborated with another intern to connect API to his RTA table
  • Learned how to use React and GraphQL to create Invoices Page interface that queries my API.

Assignment Aggregator App

A python script that collates a user student’s assignments from different online systems into their desired organizational tool.

  • Group project for my university Software Development Fundamentals course.
  • I designed the output CSV format to be compatible with tools like Notion and Todoist
  • Created the interface used to standardize input data from various sources (Canva, PrairieLearn, Moodle, etc.).

Sentiment Analysis in Rust

A tool that can output the overall sentiment (positivity and negativity) of an input text over time.

  • Created a command-line interface for users to input either a CSV file of text and timestamps, or Twitter username to analyze sentiment of user Tweets over time.
  • CEntirely programmed in Rust as part of a university honors course project.
  • I implemented the MapReduce multithreading algorithm to improve performance time.
