Messenger chatbot for all things related to USC (building location/hours, menus, events, etc.). 50,000 total interactions since launch in Jan 2017, $10,000 in funding from USC Iovine and Young pitch competition. Part of LavaLab's F16 cohort, USC's highly selective student run incubator.
This project was first incepted during LAHacks2017 and completed for the Scope USC Demo night. eYak is a way for students to ask questions during a classroom session anonymously. Think of it as a combination of the functionality of Piazza and the interface of Yik Yak.
This interactive calendar application was built for my CS 201 Principles of Software Devleopment class. The web application contains many of the same features as Google calendar including creating events and sharing them with others. We decided to add increased functionality by allowing for a user to import their USC-specific classes, recieve real-time study notifications, import events from an ICS reader, and recieve study recommendations.
This project was a Cal Hacks 3.0 project along with 4 other USC students and my first time using Swift and XCode. Swift is an easy to use receipt parsing iOS app using Microsoft Computer Vision API to parse text/relative position in image. In addition to the Computer Visiion API, we used imgur to post and host images using an HTTP POST request to their API.
Developed a vehicle interface through an android application to demonstrate the possible applications of DSRC technology with Transit Vehicles. Application gives priority to a Transit Vehicle at an intersection via V2R communication through modification of the standard protocol BSM broadcasted by the DSRC OBU and modification of traffic control logic to optimize traffic flow.
As Team Leader, I managed this team to help the Harold Robinson Foundation (HRF) develop impact metrics to measure their program impact. HRF came to LACI in order to start measuring different data points of their youth development programming. We managed to identify these different data points and provide a preliminary measurement for HRF. In addition, we built a impact metrics database in order to provide HRF with the tools to keep track of the data they collect as well as illustrate, condense, and evaluate the measured data.
BTSLA approached LACI with the idea of making their programs more holistic and impactful through the addition of a program that would be supplementary to their current wrestling instruction. In order to develop the necessary recommendation for what to teach, how to teach, and how to implement the supplementary program, we conducted intensive research from the following methodologies: online research, numerous phone and in-person interviews, USC professors and academic papers.
In order to help Monkey Business Cafe to achieve its goal as a social enterprise serving at-risk youth through its workforce development program, we sought to increase revenue by addressing a couple of key needs. Monkey Business Cafe came to LACI hoping to market for recently opened evening hours and strengthen the newly streamlined catering business. Our project tackles these needs through intensive market research and strategic planning to address Monkey Business Cafe's most important needs.
