Why I’m Interested in This Project

As a passionate Computer Science undergraduate with strong interests in ethical data systems, open-source collaboration, and social impact technologies, I am excited by SimPPL’s initiative to build a transparent, user-consent-driven data donation tool.

This project directly aligns with my past experience in full-stack development, secure API design, and machine learning systems that prioritize privacy and personalization. The challenge of analyzing user interaction across AI-generated and traditional social media content, in a privacy-preserving way, greatly motivates me.
