Ethical Computing Solution
In this project, I was required to design a solution to an ethical issue in the world. We decided to tackle the problem of the wage gap by designing a prototype database where people can compare their wages with others in the field. The website was created in collaboration with Micheal Zhao and David Park for our Computer Science culminating project.
