Charlie Stancik is earning a dual-degree in Information Science & Technology and Communication.
Her programming background is primarily in Python, HTML, and R, and is actively learning as much as she can about PHP to build the web page successfully.
She has been working on creating pages for each grocery item with the standard prices and helping generate the item lists on our grocery items page.
Because Charlie is also a communication major, she has taken on completing the written assignments alongside our project manager, Peter. This is why our written documents and videos look so slick.

major working towards his MS in Information.
He has a background in web scraping and he is a section leader for ISTA 350. He was the reason for the existence of our standard prices pages.
