A course management platform where student-teacher interactions can take place seamlessly online.
We worked on DigiCourse under the National University of Singapore's CS2102: Database Systems module. It is a database-centric project which features two major components, a course enrolment system, and a forum system.
DigiCourse is continuously deployed from Github to Herokuapp, with the aid of Heroku build-packs such as the psql-heroku-buildpack. I wrote this build pack to automate the execution of a PostgreSQL setup script file on deployment to Heroku.
Dynalite
- Internet-of-Things room occupancy visualisation app

- Raspberry-Pi, Python, COAP, NodeJS, ExpressJS, PostgreSQL, ReactJS, Docker
- Evan Tay, Joyce Yeo, Matthew Lee, Melodies Sim
Dynalite is an Internet-of-Things application which performs dynamic visualisation of room occupancy.
We worked on Dynalite under the National University of Singapore's CS3103: Computer Networks Practice module. It is an Internet-of-Things application which performs dynamic visualisation of room occupancy.
Dynalite was built using 3 Docker containers and 1 Raspberry Pi. The RPi reads light data and sends it via COAP to the first Docker container containing a backend NodeJS-ExpressJS web server.
The backend server authenticates and stores the measurements into a PostgreSQL database stored in the second Docker container.
The backend server also provides a HTTP REST API which is used by a frontend React web server in the third Docker container.

Aspiring full-stack software engineer
Hi, I am a penultimate Computer Science undergraduate and aspiring full-stack developer passionate about solving meaningful problems.
I am an IMDA scholar (bond-free) who has received numerous academic and leadership awards. I was awarded the Colours Award for my contributions to the NUS recreational sports scene as the President of the NUS Inline Skating Club.
I believe social growth is just as important as academic development. As a CS1010: Programming Methodology tutor, I conducted weekly 2-hour tutorial sessions for 14 students. As the current Deputy Head of Technology of NUS's Google Developer Student Club, I oversee the execution of technical events organised by the club.
In my free time, I read, practice Vinyasa yoga and train for endurance running.
Open for summer 2020 internship opportunities
I am looking for an internship from 11 May to 31 August 2020 in which I would get to work on meaningful problems in a collaborative environment. During this internship, I hope to receive guidance from mentors who would challenge me to grow.
