Hi, I'm Aleks Bekker!
My goal is to develop sophisticated software applications that are deeply informed by data-driven insights, ultimately optimizing real-world operations. I am passionate about creating solutions that are both technically sound and practically valuable.
More About Me
About Me
I am driven by a commitment to leverage technical proficiency for impactful outcomes. Through my coursework at RPI, my lab research, and my outside studies, I have honed my skills to be able to contribute to data-driven strategic planning and operational structuring.
I am passionate about collaborative environments and dedicated to contributing meaningfully to the communities I engage with. My objective is to harness my technical acumen to address real-world challenges and foster positive change.
Skills:
My Projects
This Site
This personal website serves as a dynamic portfolio and contact hub, showcasing my projects and providing a direct line for professional connections. Through its development, I've honed skills in front-end frameworks like React and Material UI for responsive design and component-based architecture, alongside deployment and version control using Git. Though the site is live, I plan to continuously enhance it with new features and content, so it will never be truly complete.
Alumni Search
I am leading a team of nine to develop a user-friendly search interface for an alumni database for RSEi, a professional fraternity at RPI, aiming to improve connectivity and networking within the organization. Currently in the user discovery phase, our focus is on understanding the specific needs and pain points of alumni to inform the design and functionality of the search tool. This initiative seeks to create a valuable resource that strengthens the RSEi community and facilitates meaningful interactions.
EzASM
As a contributor to the EzASM project, I participated in the implementation of a simplified assembly-like language designed for educational purposes in the classroom. Additionally, I oversaw a front-end architecture overhaul, transitioning from JavaScript to TypeScript, to enhance the project's maintainability and overall reliability. This work aimed to improve the long-term sustainability of the EzASM project and its value as a teaching tool.
Commit Linker
his project focused on developing a robust POSIX-compliant script to generate and validate links to a user's code on GitHub, streamlining code navigation and sharing. To optimize performance for large inputs, parallel programming techniques were implemented using Golang to manage client-server interactions. The resulting solution enables efficient processing of extensive data with performance comparable to single-input operations.
