Title: Party Planner Status: In Development Background: As a member of several student groups that often plan fundraisers and parties, I wanted to create a web-app that given certain parameters would aid in creating shopping lists for events. It started as part the group management system I was building, but I decided to continue it as a separate project. Description: The application takes the number of guests, how much you expect them to drink, and what types of drinks you would like to serve, as input. Based on your input, the application predicts the quantity of products neccessary for your party, and recommends additional related products to help you create your customized shopping list. A pricing module will potentially be added to help you choose products that fit your specific budget by finding vendors that sell the products at the best prices. It's filled with Script.aculo.us goodness- from the expanding sections to the easy drag and drop interface. Links: None |

Title: Pictr - A photo sharing site in Perl Status: Completed Background: The midterm project for my advanced programming class in the fall of 2009 was to work with a partner to create a photo or music sharing website, written in Perl. The site needed to handle multiple privacy settings for pictures, as well as support search capabilities. Description: The site we developed allows users to upload photos and mark them with either private or public viewing settings. We also decided to add a tagging feature, which allows users to interact with pictures in an additional way. We received a grade of 100% on the project. Links: None |

Title: Student Group Management Site Status: In Development Background: I started this project back in the fall of 2008. The concept was to build a web-based system to aid in the management of the student groups I was working in at the time. Considerable work was done over the fall/winter of 2008, but due to my current lack or free time, this project has taken a back seat to my studies and other projects. Description: The project is still in development. It has basic features for managing meetings, votes, recruitment and event planning. Links: None |

Title: Eco-friendly Park Bench Status: Completed Background: This was a project I worked on in the spring of 2008 as part of Gateway, a required Columbia class. Throughout the semester, groups of five freshmen each solved a real-world engineering problem for a local organization. Each group was organized as an industry design team might be in order to demonstrate that the design process is as important as the deliverables. I was the primary facilitator for this project. Description: Our project was commissioned by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. The goal of the project was to analyze the carbon footprint of materials currently being used in park bench production, and to propose a more eco-friendly solution. We developed a tool based on Microsoft Excel that provided a real-time estimation of CO2 output for new bench designs based on the quantities of materials used in the production of the bench. We then developed a design for a new bench using our tool, that was more environmentally friendly while remaining economically competitive with the standard benches in production. Our group was ranked first in our section and we received an A grade on the project.
