Hi, I’m Aniqa. Thank you for visiting my portfolio! I'm a 2025 graduate and aspiring software engineer who enjoys turning ideas into polished products using technologies like React, JavaScript, and Node.js. I’m especially interested in roles where I can keep learning, ship reliable software, and contribute to teams that value both technical skill and thoughtful collaboration.

Rate Limiter

backend utility
This project is a high-performance distributed rate limiter designed to shield microservices from abuse and traffic spikes. It features a scalable, stateless backend tier load-balanced via Nginx, backed by a centralized Redis caching layer that utilizes atomic Lua scripting to track request thresholds seamlessly without race conditions.

Wildfire Tracker

frontend data visualization
A real-time wildfire tracking dashboard that visualizes global natural event data using NASA’s EONET API. Built with React and the Google Maps API, the application fetches live environmental data and plots active fire coordinates using dynamic, custom-styled markers and interactive metadata overlays for a seamless tracking experience.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) AI-powered Document Processing Pipeline

LLM infrastructure
A Python-based RAG pipeline automating insight extraction from complex mortgage documents. It integrates Tesseract OCR for text conversion, SentenceTransformers and FAISS for semantic vector indexing, and runs on an open-source model (TinyLlama-1.1B) with sliding-window chunking to deliver highly accurate, contextual document analysis.

2025 Girls Develop It Hackathon: HomeTeam Application

software testing
HomeTeam is a real-time chore-tracking application designed to quantify household labor and facilitate equitable work distribution between partners. Built with React, Tailwind CSS, Vite, and Supabase/PostgreSQL, the platform translates raw task data into actionable insights using interactive Recharts visualizations. I managed the testing process for this application, which won the "Get On My Phone" award at the 2025 Girls Develop It Hackathon.
