I joined Singapore University of Technology and Design in May 2013. Each term is roughly 4 months long. We have multiple projects per term and I am listing the ones that I enjoyed the most. As you will see, I omitted any projects from Term 1; I don't think those are very interesting. I'm currently in Term 8. This term will end in Aug 2016.

Interactive Animatronics Dragon

• Designing an interactive dragon for social interaction and public display.
• Researching extensively for adequate features which will increase interactivity and customer satisfaction.
• Dragon has motion detection which it uses determine its behavior.
• Dragon has its own ad-hoc network system which is secured. Movement of the dragons are controlled by servos.
• Each movable sections have a raspberry pi which is connected to the servos.
• Different sections communicate via the network.
• The dragon's output behavior is modelled as a state machine.
• For a specific group of input it will have choose a set of ouputs (determined probabilistically) from a set of outputs.
• The dragon iterates through multiple states depending on the input it receives.
• The team consists of six members over 3 different pillars:
  1. Architecutre and Sustainable Design
  2. Engineering and Product Development
  3. Information Systems Technology and Design
• The project started and will end in August 2016; the same time when I will finish my studies.

Online Bookstore

• Created a book keeping system for a simple bookstore using Ruby on Rails.
• Database structure were written natively in PostgreSQL then synchronized with Rails.
• Queries were also written natively for complex output across multiple tables.
• Bookstore suggested a sequence of the next five books when a particular book is purchased.
• Bookstore viewed the statistics of all purchases for a given month as chosen by user and others.

Sequence Labeling System

• Applied Hidden Markov Model to label sequence of words in an informal texts.
• Used Viterbi Algoritm to run HMM over medium sized data set.
• Achieved an accuracy of 56% based on a slightly altered transition parameters.

SumoPuff

• Built a concurrent multiplayer game using LibGDX.
• Used Google Play services api to identify players on the server.
• Graphics and functionality of the game was built from ground up.
• Synchronized LibGDX with native android framework for play services.
• The players who taps the fastest and utilizes powerups to throw the opponent of stage wins.

TelePath

• Constructed an ALU using basic logic gates.
• Designed and built a prototype of an electronic hardware game using NI Multisim.
• Used the ALU along with other gates to design the multiplayer game.
• A sample circuit diagram is provided below.

TravelKat

• Created a travel app for Android which gives a best route depending on user choice.
• The algorithm takes into account of the budget a user has and gives the best routes accordingly.
• The routes can suggest you to walk to destination, take a bus, or a cab.
• The team also implemented a location identifier (the framework was provided) based on pictures.

Milk Delivery System using Amigobot

• Programmed an amigobot using Python to navigate a maze for delivering milk.
• Performed several test simulation on different levels before attempting the real world maze.
• Debugged extensively during real world deployment as it was very different from test scenario.
• A simulation is provided below.

The actual maze looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqJR4Rjiqpk

Primary Energy @ Home

• Collaborated in a team of 5 to design a product which uses renewable energy (solar energy) to heat water by storing heat in concrete.
• Performed extensive research for finding out fresh new ideas for prototypes.
• Conducted surveys for customer feedback to improve or implement new ideas in the product.
• Developed several different prototypes and performed experiments to finalize the required traits.
• Finalized a working prototype which heats up water by 3-5 using heat stored from the concrete for 3-4 hours after sunset.

EasyDry90

• Analyzed existing products and conducted surveys for a better design.
• Fabricated a new design for a clothes dryer working in a team of 5.
• Built a prototype of the product in one week; theSi product detected weather changes and automatically retrieved clothes from the balcony to keep them dry and vice-versa.

Note: The site only has my university projects as of now. I'll add my interests, photography, possible blog, and many more.

PS: The site was made with limited time. It will be updated to look better. Jekyll will also be used later on.
