My Github profile.
Here are some of the things I’ve worked on:
Dispatch
Converts RSS news feeds into a multimedia news feed with pictures and audio. Written in PHP, MySQL and Javascript for the Yahoo Open Hack All Stars 2011.
iTunes Controller
An application to control your iTunes playlist using text messaging, voice and a web interface. Written in Python, NodeJS and PHP for Facebook Camp Hackathon at UIUC.
Sherlock
A web ai written using Python, html5, node.js, Google, Bing and Qwiki APIs. This application was written for the LinkedIn Intern Hackday Summer 2011 and was one of the finalists.
Rapsynth
A turntable.fm clone written in 12 hours using node.js and php on the server and html5, jQuery and Javascript on the client. This project was made for Mozilla's World Series of Hack.
CribCrawler
A web application to simplify the apartment hunting process. This was the final project for our database course (CS411). It was written in php and used a MySQL database to store all our information. Javascript and jQuery(for AJAX requests) was used on the client side. We also integrated Google Maps(to show the apartment on a map), Twitter(we post a tweet each time a new apartment review is added) and bitly(to generate a link for each review to attach to our tweet).
ipClickr
A web application to replace iClickers. Instead of using a dedicated device for voting, we implemented a voting system wherein users could text in their votes for a question. We also extended the iClicker concept to enable users to post questions/thoughts/suggestions of their own. We built this in php with a MySQL database backend. Cellphone communication was handled using Google Voice. Javascript was used to display graphs for answers, user participation etc. This web application was built in 24 hours at Yahoo HackU @ UIUC and we won first prize for this.
Voice Recognition System
We built a voice recognition system using Java for Facebook Camp Hackathon at UIUC. This was built in 24 hours and it’s intended purpose was voice authentication for the web, though we didn't have time to make it into an applet and integrate it with a website :)
