College Roommate Finder

My first program ever. A Python desktop app that matches college students with compatible roommates based on a personality questionnaire. Built with Kivy for my ITP final project in December 2022.

What It Does

1. Start screen welcomes you
2. Register with a username, password, and email
3. Log in with your credentials
4. Answer questions about food preferences and personality
5. Get matched with a roommate (from a CSV dataset)

How It Works

Start Screen → Register → Login → Questionnaire → Match

Built with Kivy for the UI, pandas for reading the student dataset, and a whole lot of global variables because I didn't know any better yet.

Run It

pip install kivy pandas
python main.py

Why It's Here

Everyone starts somewhere. This was mine — globals, print-statement debugging, and all. Two years later I was building GPU-accelerated music visualizers, AI storytelling hardware, and HIPAA-compliant healthcare platforms. But it started here, with a roommate finder and a print("done").
