Monoprison - A teaching game on prison reform


Main Developer, Designer

Prison reform is a sensitive and important topic, yet the general public lacks necessary awareness. We aim to shine light on the issues revolving around prison reform, and most importantly, bring the public's attention to the large prison population residing in the United States. If we succeed, people might start to realize that prisoners are human too.

March 2018 - June 2018

Touch Perfect - Hardware Device & PC App


Frontend Developer/Designer, Arduino firmware Developer

Visually impaired people have to learn geography in a very different and difficult way. However, geography is very important for students with impaired sights because it helps them develop spatial recognition abilities and abilities to gather information about their environment.

Upon realizing the shortcomings of the existing plaster terrain modeling technologies and the educational needs of the visually impaired, TouchPerfect aims to provide a better way to generate and display physical terrain models. The final product (3D Geo-Display) can also be extended to display mathematical graphs, shapes, letters, or even pictures.

September 2016 - May 2017

Light - Machine Learning visualization


Main Developer

Convolutional Nerual Networks present exciting opportunities for developing new modes of interaction with machines, one such mode is hand pose/gesture. We developed a hour-glass CNN, building on top of the resnet34 architecture, which achieves exceptional inference speed and great accuracy. The project "Light" is a visualization tool intended to demonstrate the real-time performance of our Model in an application setting.

The model is hosted on an Azure instance, which is not usually running, please email me to request a demo.
