SIDE PROJECTS
Project |01 Balloon Typing Game
Name: Type a Balloon
Skills/Tools Used: Scratch
Challenge: Balloons will rise at a more rapid rate during each new round!
This version of the balloon typing Game is provided for kids to have fun as well as mprove their typing skills. Try your best as you struggle to prevent any balloons from reaching the ceiling of the screen. Simply type the word that displays on each of the three balloons, one at a time. Each time you correctly type the word, the balloon will change the current word to a new different word for you to continue typing. Get 'em correct and move to the next level.
Project |02 Telerobotic Turtlebot
Skills/Tools Used: Robot Operating System (ROS), OpenCV for Computer VIsion, Android, Eclipse
I have discovered that it is possible to build a telepresence robot that can give the users flexibility in traveling and cost. Also, I learned how the Eigenface algorithm can be applied to face recognition. After that, I was able to combine the face recognition algorithm with face detection to make a live recognition system. Thus, face detection technology can provide an immersive telepresence view of the users. With future improvements in addition to our research work, facial recognition holds significant associations with modern telepresence systems in a widespread variety of ways such as security, education, and conferencing. My facial experiments were conducted on images of four to six subjects. Averaged over all subjects, after testing a few trials with different face images, the match seemed to be accurate although the use of this algorithm is not as efficient and sensitive to variation in lighting and pose of the face.
Project |03 Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA)
Name: Student Resume & Portfolio Workshops Advertisement
Skills/Tools Used: 3D/animation with Flash Professional CS5, ActionScript
A portion of my Promotion Director Job in the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association requires me to create various event advertisements as well as manage the website for tour organizational programs.

Project |04 UI Design & Development for High Lift Commander (HLC) Application
Name: Interactive Plotting of Multi-Dimensional Data
Skills/Tools Used: Matlap, Java, Eclipse, Tableau
During my 2014 summer internship, I was responsible for accomplishing various projects and other side tasks such as designing and developing an interactive UI for the geometry-based tool that the core team of Structural Engineers (our “customers”) uses to perform their structural analysis of the airplane parts, coming up with a strategic roadmap that visualizes the “as-is” and “to-be” dispositions for all 90+ applications in their current application collection (IT special intern group project), supporting my team with HLC regression testing, and general Java coding with application debugging (especially using the methods and classes within the plotting package called JFreeChart). For my main project of UI design/development, I re-designed the GUI layout by creating integration of 3 separate panels and implemented new features for various types of user controls. I worked closely with my team to hold weekly meetings for demonstrating my accomplishments and sharing opinions as to suggesting alternative designs, if necessary. In addition, I worked with engineering customers to conduct usability testing.
Project |05 Universe Travelling Game
Name: Space Trader
Skills/Tools Used: UML Diagrams, Java, GUI in Java Monkey Engine, Subversion, Apache Ant
Github Repository: Space-Trader
CS 2340 is a team project-based programming course in which students learn principals of software design. Most of all, it is a very fun course!
My team, the 5G Network, and I worked on developing a game, in which players travel around the universe to barter goods, battle pirates, and even (potentially) become an outlaw in an attempt to eventually be able to retire their very own private moon. My favorite part of the class is creating the user interface and figuring out the design for the actual implementation of all the interacting classes. Also, I enjoy seeing how the different design principals learned in class apply to the project and how they can significantly improve both the development process and the final application.
Project |06 Prototype Redesign of Georgia Tech's Stamps Health Services Website
Name: Design Thinking: GT StampsBuzz
Skills/Tools Used: Cognitive walkthroughs, Balsamiq, iProto, HTML, CSS, Adobe Dreamweaver
This is a project that I worked for the User Interface Design course. As excited I was to explore the iterative design and heuristic evaluation in the development process, my team and I were tasked with redesigning and developing a new prototype of for Stamps Health Services, the health system institute on our campus. This includes the homepage, appintment, message, and profile pages. I created design mockups using Balsamiq and iProto and made reasonable changes to the original website.
This prototype can be viewed here. If you have more free time, compare this model of design with the school health website. No design is ever perfect; any constructive critism is welcome!
