Projects

Jan-Feb 2021

Virtual Grounds

Created a productivity platform that provides users with through planning boards, productivity analysis and various analytics using React, Django, Bootstrap, CockroachDB and Redux. Users on our application can easily access their weekly insights to see the hours they slept, the total number of hours spent completing productive tasks, the number of hours dedicated to each category of these tasks, and much more.

What I did
  • • Solely designed and created the front-end UI using React, JavaScript and Bootstrap to create simplistic yet effective designs
Nov-Dec 2019

Autonomous Claw Machine

Developed an autonomous claw machine that retrieves objects based off of colour through the implementation of mechatronics principles. Achieved a 90% retrieval rate through the design and construction of an autonomous claw machine using SOLIDWORKS, EV3 Robot and 3D printed components. Programmed in RobotC.

Read More
What I did
  • • Developed the user-interface and autonomous functionalities such as scanning, pick up and drop off using RobotC
  • • Implemented 10+ unit tests to handle unexpected input from the user and other unexpected errors
Sep-Oct 2019

FaceSecurity

FaceSecurity uses your social interaction on Facebook and Messenger to see who your friends are, and categorizes their permissions to access your dorm, apartment, or house with one simple message on Messenger. It can also pick times where certain people can come in, tell you which one of your friends from Facebook is at the door, or if its a random stranger.

Read More
What I did
  • • Developed an IoT security door that will unlock using facial recognition, a machine learning database, Raspberry Pi, PiCamera, AWS Rekognition, Node.js, Messenger API & Facebook Graph API
  • • Configured the Node.js Heroku server and utilized JavaScript and JSON objects to create the Messenger service that will notify the homeowner based on the guest’s face from RESTful GET & POST requests
Sep-Oct 2018

Healthy Bridge

Healthy Bridge is a web based application that scans information from the clients social media accounts (i.e facebook), searching for certain keywords, explicit objects in photographs, filters, and analyzes the overall tone of their page. After all this information is extracted, key information or outliers, is displayed on the website accessible to the doctor. University of Waterloo’s Hack The North Indico API Prize Winner 2018

What I did
  • • Created a website from clients’ social media accounts to analyze information that warns their doctor if the patient is likely struggling with a mental illness using Node.js, HTML, CSS and various APIs
  • • Developed reusable backend components using Python and machine learning algorithms to determine illnesses
  • • APIs Used: Facebook Graph Explorer, Colorgram, Indico, Clarifai
Oct 2016–Jun 2019

EnTech

Co-founded the EnTech-IRHS club in order to implement technology into the rigid framework of the Ontario secondary education. A few students, teachers and I noticed that STEAM courses lack certain technology that would improve curriculum and give students the fully immersive learning experience.

Read More
What I did
  • • Co-founded, formulated and constructed a makerspace/TechHub at my high school used by 100+ students
  • • Collaborated with industry partners such as Tiercel, InkSmith and Fireside Analytics to implement tech such as 3D printers, VR systems and multitouch tables that would improve cross-curricular learning and applications
