yana.init()

Hi! I'm Yana, an innovator building smart solutions that solve real world problems. I'm pursuing a double major in CS and AI and a minor in Business Economics at Purdue University. In my free time, I like to read murder mysteries, learn languages and tinker with open source. Currently, I'm a SWE intern at Quickscrum and MLE consultant for Smartant Technologies.

FlowFuel
Reverse-engineered Purdue's undocumented GraphQL dining API to pull live menus across all 5 dining courts — extracting meal items and dietary traits per station in real time. A Flask backend served this data to a React frontend, which used GROQ to map meals to the user's menstrual cycle phase and recommend what to eat, where, and when.
