HackUST 2019

This is the project that my team and I built for the hackathon at HKUST 2019. This project features a Question-answering chatbot that can answer any general knowledge questions. We intended to build a chatbot that can focus on answering restaurant and food related questions but ultimately within the time we have, we were only able to build a general QA system. Nevertheless, this could be used as a generalization of any chatbot software. This repo contains the frontend website of the chatbot system.

AngelHack Taipei 2018

This is a project I built when I was participating in Angelhack Taipei 2018. My team and I were building an online security system that can allow people around to report problems about anything. We have two groups of clients: people who report about the incidents and the institutions or agencies that help to resolve those problems. We built a mobile app for people to report through pictures and descriptions, and a website for the institutions to retrieve those reports.

HackNTU 2017

This is a microservice I made for our hackathon project at HackNTU 2017. We were building a web platform that helps the pharmacists to give the correct medicine to the patients using data retrieved from a huge medical database. Given that a patient has a certain disease, the online system will be able to deduce the most optimal medicine combinations through some data analysis. This will minimize or prevent doctor's mistakes, such as giving out certain medicines that will cause adverse side effects when used together. We eventually won Top 10 in Popularity out of 200+ international teams.

HackNTU 2016

At HackNTU 2016, we built Adventure, a mobile game. It is an image-recognition based RPG game that allows users to capture images of real-life objects that they will be able to convert into virtual useful items for their characters. We used cloud Azure services which gave us the technology for image recognition on portable devices. Among over 200+ international teams, we ultimately won the Top 2 Prize in Game Category (less than 15 teams received prizes) and 50,000 NTD in total.
