Aggies Invent 2015

Hardware/Mobile Application

Aggies Invent is a 48 hour event in which you work on a problem pitched in from an industry partner and develop a solution. You then try to sell your solution. This years theme was 'Making the Internet of Things Come Alive in 48 Hours'. There were 60 people chosen from 185 applicants. Our team name was Delta CPC we worked on developing a wrist band called BandTrack that would track a person using iBeacons. This could be used to keep tracking of patients and doctors. When a disease is found on a person you can go back through the patients footsteps and find who that person interacted with to be able to quartine them as well. But thats not all this can be used to trigger certain events such as changing the environment like populating the users data when he walks into the doctors room, changing the music, the tv channel, the lights, etc. BandTrack would also contain the patients medical history and be linked to a cloud where the patients history would be dynamically changed as well. Our repo that doesnt contain the app that we worked on in that current period can be found here.

This Project was built for our CSCE 470 Information and Retrival class. It is an application that will recommend a user new anime to watch from the new upcoming anime season. How it works is that it retrieves what animes the user has watched from myanimelist.com and ratings. Then it scrapes anichart.net for the upcoming anime and uses NaiveBayes to return the top 6 relevant animes to the user. The features that it used were genres and staff.

• Lead a team of 8 individuals in organizing, promoting, and running gaming tournaments

iNation is small startup my friends and I were working on. We started working on in August 2012. We slowly made progress on attracting bigger crowds and finding ways to make revenue. We want to bring a whole new level of gaming to our city in Laredo,Tx to grow the gaming competitive scene. We had big plans, but as the majority of our members are in college it was hard to host events consistenly. We tried to raise 40,000 to invest on an actual business location. But we were not able to meet the requirement. Shortly after we decided that continuing this wasn't a smart decision, so May 2014 was when operations stopped. In iNationGaming I was in charge of a team of 8 people. I would help plan the different events from College Station, Tx even though the events where in Laredo, Tx and help promoting, organizing the business side of things, and running the gaming tournaments.
