Maxwell Wu

Computer Science Graduate (CSUEB 2023)

Building reliable software with strong fundamentals in systems and algorithms.

I’m looking for an entry-level software engineering opportunity. I enjoy backend work, problem-solving, and understanding how things run under the hood (OS, networking, security).

Projects

Three portfolio projects you can run locally and link to on GitHub.

Task Manager Web App

Flask • SQLAlchemy • SQLite/PostgreSQL

Full-stack app with authentication, task CRUD, due dates, and status filters. Built to demonstrate clean backend design and database fundamentals.

GitHub → • Demo: local

Pathfinding Visualizer

Python • Pygame

Interactive visualization for A*, Dijkstra, BFS, and DFS. Great for showing algorithm knowledge in a way recruiters can immediately understand.

GitHub → • Demo: video/GIF

PCAP Traffic Analyzer (Offline)

Python • Scapy

Parses PCAP files to summarize protocols, top talkers, and flows. A practical project that connects networking and security coursework to real-world artifacts.

GitHub → • Demo: CLI output

Recommended: add a quick demo

For each repo, add a short GIF or screenshot in the README. It increases recruiter engagement a lot.
