Projects

Boston Immigrant Resources Platform

Boston Immigrant Resources is a community-driven platform that helps immigrants in the Boston area discover essential services, including legal assistance, housing support, healthcare resources, and community programs.

I am currently developing a public API that integrates directly with the website to provide structured access to resource data and support future integrations with partner organizations and developers. The API is in closed testing, with a public deployment planned soon.
