Boston Children's Hospital - Software Engineering Intern

EngineeringCompleted

Built an internal ALS resource-discovery web app for clinicians and patient families. The whole product was scoped to Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA — accessibility was the bar, not an afterthought.

● What I shipped

  • React frontend wired to a Strapi headless CMS so non-technical staff could update content without a deploy.
  • Swagger-documented REST API for self-service contributor onboarding.
  • Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA compliance: keyboard-only nav, ARIA landmarks, focus-visible rings, sufficient contrast, skip links, screen-reader tested.
  • Validated search and filter UX with real ALS clinicians; iterated on care-workflow ergonomics.
