Demonstration of an application that gives teachers realtime metrics and
visualizations of classroom attention. I consulted on the concept and provided
guidance on using React Native to build the clientside application.
This was the final deliverable for a computer architecture class. We were asked
to design an IOT product that would solve a specific problem, and the greatest
threat to any Monterey Bay student in 2018 was finding a parking spot on-time
for class.
We acknowledged the fact that all the university parking lots were in open-air
and had proximity to the school's WiFi. Therefore, we created an IOT-connected
sensor to detect open parking spaces, and report needed parking spaces to
students. This device only requires WiFi access points to operate, and can be
placed at the end of any parking spot. All the software needed can be run in
on-demand compute services for a minimal cost. I ended up providing the IOT glue
for the device, the frontend webapp, and orchestrated the backend services to
demonstrate sending parking updates to students.
A local construction company in LA needed a new website to exhibit their
previous work. Their old site was predicated mostly on SEO content, without much
for human visitors to see. I took some queues from other contractor portfolios
and made a gallery page which expands to show the summaries of the jobs.
Over the past few years, the Los Angeles Music Center has installed an IP camera
system and signboard monitors to create altered reflections of their plaza
space. yU+co has taken this system and used it to apply style-transferred
projections and other effects to those passing by.
I was contracted to provide a simple scheduling mediator for the different
effects used by the system, and allow for creating detailed schedules for the
week, by day, hour, scene and various controls for duration and immediate
scheduling. This allows the operators to control the central touchdesigner
application externally, and save persistent schedules that can be swapped for
different times of the year, all from a simple web application.
