Noah Spahn
Full Stack Developer
My name is Noah Spahn, and I am a Computer Engineer that studied at Boston University. I have an enthusiasm for the world of accessible design and innovation. I work on creating products that improve the lives of those who live with visible and invisible disabilities. I love Full-Stack work because building quality applications are built on how users experience interacting with the backend functionality.Education
Boston University
September 2021
Bachelors
I studied at Boston University from September of 2019 to September of 2021. I found a community-driven to build cool projects, and I used this basis to develop my passion for accessible design. At BU, I launched a tool to correct nystagmus with AI-controlled lenses to compensate for the user's natural swing. This process worked by tracking the pupil and shifting light given the pupils' position. In 2019 I also competed in the 2019 SpaceApps Hackathon, and my team took second place for our VR educational app that we developed with AFrame in 24 hours.
