GoKnights is a community-driven mobile app designed for Queens College students, faculty, and prospective students.
The app serves as a centralized hub for essential campus information, including categories like advising, printing,
directory, and student life services. Developed by Ming Lei, a Computer Science graduate student, the app was
inspired by his experience as a new student orientation leader.
GoKnights offers an OpenAI GPT-4o AI-powered chatbot, multilingual support, and an open-source codebase focused on privacy and
collaboration. It allows users to book appointments, print documents, and easily access the QC calendar for
important dates.
Available for both Android and iOS, the app has become a helpful tool for the QC community, with 800+ overall downloads as of August 2024.
Headstarter App is a Next.js based web app that empower the startup's ambition
to help students boost their career success by "gamifying" SWE learning experience
and prompting personalized feedback. The app is built with a microservice
architecture utilizing various AWS products and is currently in development. I am
mainly responsible for creating frontend components using Material UI library, and
connecting to DynamoDB and Cognito using Lambda functions deployed on AWS CDK.
It has 350+ monthly active users and handles 1000+ requests per day.
This is a class project I built in my software engineering class. It is
a fully functional HTML5 game powered by Phaser JavaScript framework,
along with PHP and SQLite as backend. The game can be played on both
desktop and mobile devices, and users may register an account to store
their game data and compete against each other. It has been awarded
a grade of A.
Shared Solar NYC Gateway is solar electricity initiative from Sustainable
CUNY, at which I am currently working since summer 2019. Powered by PHP
and MySQL, this application enables potential connection between interested
subscribers and solar developers. I helped build a user import and export
plugin in PHP, as well as a frontend form validation mechanism using jQuery.
During the Lehman Hacks 2018 hackathon, my team and I built a universal
mobile app using React Native to create a LBS solution to provide assistance
for persons with disabilities. It automatically activates when users
approach a supported public space, whose space managers will then receive
a notification about their arrival for further help. We were awarded
"The Best Use of Map API" for this project.
As the Co-Director of Technology at TechTogether New York 2019 hackathon,
I built this static website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Specifically,
CSS3 animation and transition are heavily used to optimize user experience.
Multiple libraries including BootStrap and animate.css are used to speed
up development. The website is rearranged to support different viewports
including mobile and tablet.
