• Developing Light-Niwa, an Android reader targeting fans of light novels from Asia, based on material design and backed by Node.js, CDN syncing and Fresco, grossing over 5,000 users on non-Play app stores and achieving average daily usage time over 35 minutes in first month without dedicated promotion effort.

• Designed LonelyTweet, a web application using JavaScript for analyzing JSON data streamed from Twitter API.
• Spearheaded the development of Fancee, a synchronous interactive video-sharing platform with message invitation and real-time overlaying commentary system, using Google Map/Youtube/Bloomberg/Twilio APIs, Bootstrap, D3.js, Socket.IO and Flask framework, deployed and maintained with Amazon Web Services.

• Tweet Map, a real-time tweet visualization tool, streaming 1% of entire Twitter's new tweets for selected key word and rendering Google Map using Bootstrap framework in real time.

• Tweet Trend, a Hadoop-based tweet trends analysis tool, using key-word based sentiment analysis, storing real time data to backend, processing them in MapReduce and using Kafka as middleware to asynchronously deliver results to front end to show trends of sentiment with data driven framework D3.js which… Show more

• Snap Scout, a machine learning based image search engine, backed by crowd sourced input to increase accuracy. Using Node.js to serve backend data processing with support from Apache Mahout analyzing data, it is achieving 68% accuracy in brand matching among first ten results, and slowly growing to up to 90% with crowd sourced input from user in retrospective manner. Front end development in both iOS and Django/Semantic UI was following minimalist design to focus Show less

• Lead a team of five and manage the project of creating a new language called GEM as well as its translator based on Java, which will be game designer oriented language for easier game programming and better freedom in designing using properties of the new language.

• Implemented a multithreaded Java chat program with white/black list/broadcasting/file transfer/group chat.
• Simulated TCP transmission between multiple clients on UDP channel which supports checksum/traceroute/ping functions.
• Created an online appointment system with user authentication, using CGI script in C++, JavaScript with jQuery libs and JSON for storing appointment/user data.

• Researched Linux kernel programming and expanded kernel functionality involving multiprocessing, scheduling, synchronization, memory management, paging, caching and file systems.
• Delivered new features to Android system such as motion-based application scheduling, user-level memory map and geographically tracked file system, by modifying Android OS source code in C.

• Discussed and established the essential safety standards and contract provisions by reviewing the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project and conducting analysis of its RFP documents as well as design-build contract.
• Coordinated a team of six and communicated with advisors to develop the evaluation criteria for technical proposals of a bridge project and the decision was recognized by professional engineers for its feasibility.

• Conducted structural analysis and design of steel-framed bridge, concrete box girder bridge and swimming pool with given restrictions and building specifications like AASHTO/IBC codes and AISC/ACI manuals.
• Estimated the material cost based on quantity takeoff and drafted the detailed drawing for prefabrication.
• Led five team members to cooperatively prepare reports and presentations, which were rated the best of all teams and used as sample for future education, credited with the… Show more
