Hi, I'm Gayathri Kota

I'm originally from India and currently a junior at Arizona State University, majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Data Science. From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by coding, which inspired me to pursue Computer Science as my career path. I am dedicated to my academics and have consistently maintained a 4.0 GPA for four consecutive semesters. My goal is to work at top tech companies like those in the FAANG group, and I’m committed to reaching that goal.

Outside of coding, I'm passionate about sports, especially cricket and Badminton, which I love to follow in my free time. Interestingly, while I enjoy sports, I’ve never been drawn to watching movies—something that often surprises people! I also dream of traveling the world, collecting stamps on my passport as I experience different cultures and cuisines.

Projects

LEGO Mindstorms Project

Raspberry Pi and Autonomous Robotics Projects: I developed a smart jacket using a Raspberry Pi, incorporating temperature and motion sensors, programmable LEDs, and wireless connectivity. This innovation allows the jacket to interactively respond to environmental changes and be customized remotely through a mobile app. Additionally, I designed and built an autonomous, small-scale vehicle using LEGO Mindstorms. This vehicle features self-driving capabilities, utilizing ultrasonic sensors to navigate a predefined path and avoid obstacles in real time.

Help System Project

Development of a Secure Help System for Students Using JavaFX and Java: I collaborated in developing a comprehensive help system for CSE 360 students, focusing on implementing secure, role-based access control using JavaFX and Java. I designed and developed a user-friendly interface and robust backend functionality to support roles such as Admin, Student, and Instructor. The system includes features like secure password management, personalized learning resources, and a feedback mechanism, ensuring it effectively serves users with varying levels of programming experience

Coffee Machine Simulator

Coffee Machine Simulator: I have created a coffee machine simulator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, featuring an interactive user interface that allows users to select from various coffee options and experience a simulated brewing process. Built with HTML for structure, styled with CSS, and powered by JavaScript for functionality, the application is responsive and user-friendly, offering an engaging way to explore coffee brewing options virtually.

Chatbot Project

Customer Support Chatbot Using Python and NLP: I built a chatbot for customer support using Python and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The chatbot helps answer common customer questions quickly and can send more difficult problems to a human agent when needed. I used Flask to make the chatbot work on websites, allowing users to get help at any time. This project made customer service faster and more efficient by offering 24/7 support and reducing the need for human help for basic questions.
