Engineering Projects

Co-founded and built NextSpot, a real-time mobile platform connecting university students (around UTS Sydney) with local restaurants to buy surplus end-of-day meals at discounted prices—reducing food waste and environmental pollution while providing budget-friendly dining options.

Co-developed an AI-powered floating scanner Android app and FastAPI backend for the OpenAI Hackathon. Captures social media feeds and screenshot text, performing real-time context-aware analysis to detect online scams, phishing, and fake news with clear safety badges.

Built an interactive Sydney beach recommendation canvas app that scored 100% (full marks). Features mood-based beach planning powered by Gemini, live weather/marine conditions via Open-Meteo, Leaflet map filters, and a secure admin CRUD panel.

Designed and developed Lumo, an emotion exploration and reflection iOS app during the Apple Foundation Program. Features an immersive, interactive 3D-style bubble space showcasing 196 emotional definitions, allowing users to select and fuse complex feelings into an emotional snapshot.

Developed an iOS application for UTS student clubs. Supports club search, event planning, and interactive campus map pinning with MapKit. Integrates CoreLocation geofencing to trigger location-aware push notification alerts when users walk near club hubs.

Led frontend and backend development, designed the architecture, implemented APIs, and managed SQL Server database to deliver a fully functional, production-ready application with a responsive UI.

Developed a production-grade backend using Spring Boot, Kafka, gRPC, JWT authentication, and PostgreSQL, packaged with Docker and prepared for AWS deployment, demonstrating an end-to-end microservice architecture.
