APP DEVELOPMENT
I think of App Development not as a programming or hacking task, but as a maze, a puzzle, in which a certain path is the correct one. I have found myself going along a path, confident that it was the correct one, only to find myself backtracking myself moments later.
​
Despite this arduous process, I have become fluent in Android and Flutter development. Not only have I made apps for my pleasure or for hackathons, but I have made apps for clubs and for the general public.
FEATURED WORK
ZIPSCAN
This was an app some I decided to make to solve an issue some other students in my school had. My school had recently started manual check-ins during tutorials, club attendance, and office hours. This process was quite painstaking, as students often had to wait in long lines to sign in to an activity, wasting their precious time. Collaborating with the district CTO, I developed a cross-platform app that digitizes this process with a simple QR-scan.
COVID-19 ASSISTANT
As the Coronavirus pandemic shook the world, people are being urged to follow strict sanitary guidance to suppress the spread of the deadly pathogen. What I had found, is most people actually leave their houses forgetting their face masks altogether. The main feature of this application is to remind those leaving their house to bring their PPE using non-invasive location tracking. It also includes features such as CDC guidelines, and in the future, grocery deliveries.
PARKINSON'S DETECTOR
Inspired by a personal event, I set forth designing an easy-to-use, Non-Invasive Parkinson's Detector. It uses researched and proven tests to detect Parkinson's, such as the Static and Dynamic Spiral Test, and the Stability Test.
The ability to speak is usually taken for granted, and most people do not associate Parkinson's as a speech disorder. Some cases get so severe that the patient no longer has full control over their mouth. As an attempt to solve this issue, I added a second feature is an accessible keyboard that improves communication between those with Parkinson's and without. This keyboard uses NLP to find suggested words.
