I'm Amelie, an innovator at the intersection of technology and human-centered design. As an undergrad student at UC Berkeley, I'm immersed in the vibrant world of engineering as I combine analytics with a creative perspective.
Both in school and out, I strive to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and user-friendly experiences. My methodology is not just about mastering code, but also about crafting solutions that resonate with people on a profound level, showcasing a commitment to shaping a tech-driven future that prioritizes the needs and experiences of underrepresented communities.

Berkeleytime is UC Berkeley’s largest course enrollment platform, serving over 45,000 students. The site allows students to look up course statistics from previous semesters, view current enrollment trends, and average grade distributions.
Problem Space
At Berkeley, students often rely on scattered tools, Google Sheets, Notion pages, or even just on a piece of paper, to map out their four-year academic plans. This fragmented process makes it difficult to visualize progress or make informed course decisions. To address this, Berkeleytime aims to centralize academic planning by introducing Gradtrak, a new integrated roadmap feature, enabling students to design, track, and adjust their paths all within one cohesive platform.
Since this was a hand-off project, I looked for ways to improve the existing workflows before being flagged to ship. One key area for growth was 'Labels.' Currently, students have two pathways to create custom labels, but because Gradtrak is an entirely new feature, the team and I were unsure how its learning curve would affect the usability and accessibility of custom labels.
Through active feedback with beta testers, we opted to keep both methods for creating labels, but are modifying the workflow within 'Course Details' to make it more seamless for users (coming soon in the next iteration!).
