Meet the Team

Isabella DeBoer

My name is Isabella DeBoer, and I am a fourth-year student at the University of Utah pursuing an Honors Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, along with a certificate in Artificial Intelligence. I primarily focus on frontend development, with a strong interest in AI and machine learning, especially in building thoughtful, user-centered experiences.

Before getting into computer science, I spent 12 years as a competitive swimmer. That experience deeply shaped how I approach discipline, goal-setting, and resilience, but it also exposed me to burnout and a loss of motivation as I transitioned out of a structured team environment. That challenge ultimately inspired me to create this app to help others stay consistent, motivated, and connected to their goals in a more sustainable way.

On campus, I have served as a Senior Class Officer for Women in Computing and as a teaching assistant for CS 2420 (Data Structures & Algorithms) and CS 4150 (Algorithms). Currently, I am a Software Engineering intern at Superhuman (formerly Grammarly), where I work on Authorship, a tool designed to help students verify the origin of their writing. This experience has strengthened my ability to build polished, high-impact features while collaborating closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers. I will be continuing this work full-time as a Software Engineer after graduation. In my free time, you can find me hiking, skiing, working on a puzzle, or scrapbooking.

Delia Leonard

My name is Delia Leonard, and I am pursuing an Honors Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Utah. I am a backend developer with a preference for PHP, Python, and JavaScript. My passion lies in continuous learning because that is what keeps your career engaging and fulfilling in the long-term. The ever-evolving field of computer science provides the perfect environment for that growth.

I strongly believe in the value of maintaining a balanced life. Some of my hobbies that have inspired personal projects include swimming, cooking, and environmental science. Many of my ideas for personal projects stem from identifying pain points within my hobbies and applying my knowledge of software design to create meaningful solutions.

SetSwipe was directly motivated by my swimming career, as it was designed to address challenges I faced after stepping away from competitive swimming. Being a swimmer allowed me to collaborate on this application with real-world use cases at the forefront of the design process. Working with my team through this process gave me a great taste of the field, and I am excited to continue in that direction professionally. I hope to continue to thrive in my current role as a software engineer with BambooHR, gaining a deeper understanding of good design, coding standards, and personal growth in the field.

Alan Mo

My name is Alan Mo, I am currently a fourth-year student at the University of Utah, pursuing a five-year BSMS in Software Development and Computer Science. My career is driven by a passion for automating software processes and designing human-centered systems, particularly in the fields of medicine, data systems, and aerospace. For three years I served as a Computational Neurobiology Research Assistant at the Zelikowsky Lab, where I developed a PyQt application that automated the analysis of 1,000+ hours of audio, video, and neural data of mice behavior, successfully reducing analysis time by 10x. My commitment to human-centric tech and being a swimmer of 15 years also led me to co-develop SetSwipe, my senior capstone project that helps swimmers maintain their competitive mindset and motivation through a custom mobile application. On campus, I have held leadership roles as the Webmaster and Social Chair for the 3D Printing Club (3D4E) and Marketing Chair for the ACM Club. I have also served as a Teaching Assistant for CS 4440 Computer Security with Professor Stefan Nagy and am currently assisting CS 3090 Ethics in Computing with Professor Travis Martin, where I am guiding students through the complexities of security algorithms and the ethical implications of technology. In my free time, I’m likely swimming, shuffling at raves, or feeding my Pokémon card addiction.

Jaxon Smith

My name is Jaxon Smith, I am a student at the University of Utah, pursuing a BS/MS in Computer Science and Computing, with both tracks in Artificial Intelligence. I have focused on back end development, focusing on using data to find ways to improve and broaden the audience of tools. My passion comes from wanting to build useful and meaningful tools and systems using software since it allows for a low cost and barrier of entry both for use and development.

On campus I am involved with the Data Science club, and have hosted a workshop on Agentic coding workflows. I am also a teaching assistant for CS 4150 (Algorithms) and have formerly been a teaching assistant for CS 3190 (Foundations of Data Analysis) and CS 2420 (Data Structures and Algorithms).

Outside of computing I have been an active hockey player for 15+ years, and enjoy riding on my custom built balance board based on the open source VESC project (essentially a Onewheel). My ideas for projects often come from wanting to improve or alter some fun experience or hobby of mine or wanting to learn a new skill. Some of my favorites have been using a microcontroller to connect my driving simulator to a remote control car, or creating a virtual sandbox for the famous Raspberry Pi line following a car program.
