PocketCare

PocketCare

PocketCare is a bluetooth low energy (BLE) based solution which enables smartphones to send and receive anonymous beacon signals. It checks the distance between a smartphone and another beacon (or smartphone running PocketCare) to see if they are close to each other (less than 2m).

Competition: IBM Call For Code 2020 (Covid-19 Track)
  • Built the iOS beacon layer for close-proximity detection
  • Added background BLE advertising and scanning with CoreBluetooth overflow regions
  • Implemented a modified Hamming encode/decode pipeline in Swift
  • Used geofencing for on/off-campus detection, Core Data for storage, and ARKit for calibration
  • Planned future releases and wrote implementation specs for upcoming features
Also made a quick little video for IBM submission

PubSpek

PubSpek! (featured on PhoneDog, PhoneArena)

PubSpek is a mobile app I built my sophomore year. It's one of the first application that gives you feedback on your presentation and helps you pinpoint core issues related to public speaking. I used Microsoft's cognitive API and IBM's face API to recognize facial expressions from videos, and then compare that with the appropriate one from the text. Based on that comparison the user would get a score with suggestions on how they can improve.
Challenges: I had to get the server involved in order to process videos in real time (extracting frames every second). It wasn't a perfect solution but the end result was better than expected. I was able to prove to myself that I am capable of exploring and learning different technologies as long as I stuck with it.

Plight

Plight (Winner: BrickHack4)

AR version of the popular mobile game Plague Inc!. I barely knew Apple's new ARKit framework when I entered the competition, but by the time we were done I realized the potential it has in the future.

WaterX

WaterX (Erie Hack Finalist · Most Innovative Hack)

Mobile application I built for Erie Hack competition during my freshman year. The app collects data from all the water suppliers in users region, and then shows user information regarding their suppliers. For suppliers it would provide with aggregated data from users, helping them to solve problems before they enter critical phase (like Flint water crisis)
Dent

Dent (UB Hackathon)

An IoT toothbrush that uses self contained sensors and camera modules to detect a user's oral health status. Hardest part of this project was to get the camera module to work. I also didn't setup my PI beforehand, to make things easy I went through each room in our department to find a HDMI cable. Then figured out the SSH route using a handy tool called LanScan.

4 A.M. Forum

4 A.M. Forum

For my CSE442 (Software Engineering) course, we had to team up and come up with a product that we would be working on throughout duration of the course. The course was run exactly like a company, with meetings every week with our PM, using project management tools like ZenHub, and learning the agile development process. We developed this cool Piazza like forum with social media features.
K-Mean Clustering

K-Mean Clustering in Assembly

Final project for my CSE341 class, we had to implement a famous clustering algorithm in MIPS. I looked everywhere to find a tool that would help me visualize the algorithm in real-time (back then my ML knowledge was very limited). I was finally able to figure it out and had a lot of fun coding it.
FaceQR

FaceQR

One of the best hackathons I've ever been to. The vibe was insane, but more than that I was fortunate to work with a team from two different countries, Australia and Canada.
We had a change of plan because we couldn't get the hardware necesary to build what we originally planned. Instead, since all of us had prior knowledge in iOS dev, we put together an app that turns your face into a QR code.

PwnStroke

PwnStroke (ECS Lab)

iOS app for stroke patients. Uses built in sensors to help them perform various rehabilitation excercises. The hardest part was collecting enough data to accurately pinpoint movements of the phone.
