Hack&Roll 2025 achieved Best Freshmen Hack. Mickey, a companion robot developed during NUS Hack&Roll 2024 to assist elderly individuals through AI-powered interactions and health monitoring. Developed Mickey, a robotic companion with image detection, voice assistance, and multimodal interaction. With Image recognition, vision processing and speech recognition APIs, it enables real-time user engagement. Built with Raspberry Pi and TensorFlow, Mickey supports gesture recognition, face tracking, and adaptive voice feedback. Awarded Best Freshmen Hack for innovation in human-computer interaction and assistive robotics.

First Place in NTU Deep Learning Week 2024, Developed an application employing machine learning to detect and provide real-time feedback on presentation habits through body language analysis. Additionally, it analyses speech, generating paraphrased scripts, and predicts emotions based on tone. This tool empowers users to enhance presentation skills, fostering confidence and communication effectiveness.

Championship in Dell InnovateFest 2023. Created a mobile app to encourage sports for people with intellectual disability. App included AR technology, automated real time chats, unique simple interface. Competition organized by Dell Technologies and MINDS. Was the group leader in this.

Represented Singapore Polytechnic in a Samsung Competition. Top 5 Finalist in post secondary category. Received Public Choice Award

Built an application to automate resume creation using generative AI. The application processes casual or unstructured user inputs such as basic details on education, work experience, profession, and skills. The application later transforms it into a professionally formatted resume in Word format. Users can download and edit the document as needed. The system is designed to understand informal language, extract relevant information, and generate polished summaries, making the resume-building process faster and more accessible.

Built an application, to analyse and improve users' presentation skills. The application tracks body posture, detects common speech habits and body pose gestures done during presentations, and provides live feedback on body language. After recording, users can review and download their video, audio, and speech transcript, make quick edits, and generate improved versions of their speech based on preferences like fluency, length, or formality. Using generative AI It also generates potential audience questions and provides a detailed performance report summarizing the presentation with actionable advice for improvement.
