This experience not only honed my skills in document management but also provided valuable insights into the implementation of efficient tagging and filtering systems.

Leveraging the Discord API, I successfully implemented features such as user authentication, ticketing, and automation commands, contributing to the enhancement of CMU Esports' Discord environment.
