SHARON LEE
Welcome to Sharon Lee's personal website!

This site is still under construction, but I am always updating it. Check back every once in awhile if you are so inclined! Also, please contact me with comments and suggestions. Thank you.
ABOUT ME

My name is Sharon Lee and I am a Chinese American from Saint Joseph, Michigan. Currently I am an undergraduate junior at the University of Michigan pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Social Informatics and a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance.

Much of my knowledge in web design and computer science is self-taught. Having the ability to re-create the vision from my mind is what fuels me to keep on learning, and I feel that I am improving every day. I believe that self-motivation and the capacity to recover from failures are the strongest characteristics I have.

Besides web designing and playing music, I enjoy drawing. I took private art lessons throughout my middle school and high school years and my illustrations can be found in the popular Chinese novel, "Chinese Hot Pepper Meets American Chop Suey". My tools of the trade are pencil, pen, Photoshop CS5, and my trusty Wacom Intuos4 tablet. The things I draw are simple and my style is usually comical; some of my artwork can be found at my deviantART account here.

I also like to play PC games. My favorites are Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead.

    WEBSITES:

    Pascal Sheets
    See it here.
    This is an ongoing personal project of mine where I post my arrangements of songs for free download. It combines my passions for music and web design. Because there are not many sites that have violin music arrangements, I hope that my site will become the new community for free sharing and enjoyment of violin music.
    Great Lakes Electric
    See it here.
    This is a site I worked on during my internship at Great Lakes Electric. I made the graphics for the site and created three calculators for estimating prices using Javascript.
    Lee's Hunan

    Made for a popular Chinese restaurant in Saint Joseph, MI. I am currently teaching myself Ruby and working on an online ordering system using the Ruby on Rails framework.



    WEB APPLICATIONS:

    Social Jam
    See it here.
    Made during the 24-Hour Facebook Camp Hackathon at the University of Michigan, this Facebook application lets two friends compose music in real-time. Each person gets their own staff line, and when the "Play" button is pressed, both lines are played together in harmony. Our team won first place and went to Facebook HQ in Fall '11 to compete in another hackathon. I created all the graphics and worked closely with another member on the HTML/CSS. Unfortunately, due to Facebook's rapidly changing API, our application no longer works properly.
    Friendly Guesses
    See it here.
    This is a Facebook application created during the 24-Hour Hackathon Finals at Facebook. It is very similar to Guess Who? except it uses people's likes and interests instead of physical characteristics. I created all the graphics for the app and worked on the UI. Unfortunately, due to Facebook's rapidly changing API, our application no longer works properly.
    Eat Your Veggies!
    See it here.
    Using Javascript and the Raphael library, Brian Ford, Evan Clark, and I created a video game for the 48-Hour University of Michigan WolverineSoft Game Development Competition in 2010. The game features a son trying to run away from his mother as she chases him with broccoli in her hand. The game is somewhat maze-like, with broccoli sitting in the doorways that randomly disappear with time so that the boy can cross rooms and escape to "safety". I designed the twelve levels and worked on the UI.
    Abominations
    See it here. Info page here.
    Made during the 48-Hour University of Michigan WolverineSoft Game Development Competition in 2011 with Brian Ford and David Ross. The game is 2-player and features combining various body parts of monsters and fighting the other player to win. My primary role was as the artist, creating around fifty graphics.
    Data Mining
    See it here.
    Brian Ford and I took second place in the University of Michigan Data Mining Competition with our interactive visualization of music data from Yahoo!. The visualization was created with the help of the Javascript InfoVis Toolkit.
