Hi Saiaswin!
We are Shanice and Min Xian from Team NUSPlanner.
Our team details are as follows:
Team name: NUSPlanner
Student name: Sng Wei Zhen Shanice & Ong Min Xian

Our team is proposing a web application that helps students to land their dream job by providing insights on how they allocate their time in three important aspects - work, academics and extracurriculars.
As employers increasingly value technical skills over traditional qualifications, countless undergraduates are struggling to differentiate themselves from the growing pool of skilled competitors in Singapore. With our web application, we are confident that we can make a difference to this issue by reinforcing the need for undergraduates to develop their portfolio holistically from the very beginning, which will be vital to helping them land their dream job.
The biggest selling point of our project would definitely be the use of descriptive tools like bar charts which enable users to derive meaningful insights on their daily activities through a single glance. We will also be providing a dashboard view which allows students to track their productivity, and a progress report which helps students accurately put together a detailed resume based on the activities that they have logged into the planner.
We are aware that you are passionate about acquiring new skills and are deeply knowledgeable in many areas. Your skills will be an amazing complement to our project, thus we would like to request for you to be our mentor.
We will be most delighted to have you as our mentor because of the vast repertoire of skills that you have gained from your rich working experiences and your commitment towards the highest standards in all projects that you undertake. Similarly, we are a driven team that pays attention to details and strives to deliver the best in all that we do. We are certain that we will be able to learn much from you to create a quality product, and also hope to forge lasting connections with you during and after this mentorship.
More details about our project can be viewed at the following links. On top of the required submissions, we have also prepared a short 1 minute video to demonstrate our prototype.

We hope that our project resonates with you and that you will choose to work with our team.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!
Regards,
Shanice and Min Xian
Hi Mr Saiaswin Saikannan, we are team hALLinOne! We are particularly intrigued by your introduction, and would love to have you as our mentor, to guide us not only in our project, but to learn about the working landscape in tech from you as well, given your vast experience. Having worked in different domains, we believe you would have encountered many different obstacles and issues that we would love to learn from, as we seek to obtain as much knowledge as possible from Orbital, to prepare us for the working world (and not just complete our project).

Our project seeks to centralise and facilitate the bookings of common facilities in student accommodations in NUS, and also have a social function for “jios”. We discovered that currently, block chats are being used to book facilities such as the lounge, or ask people to clear their laundry in the washing machines or dryers for others to use, which we find ineffective. Hence, we propose the all-in-one “hALLinOne” mobile application to address this.
Hello Saiaswin,
Like many others in NUS Computer Science, Darren and I have spent most of our uni life grinding and studying. However, it has made us wonder if we are genuinely making the most out of our study time as we often get distracted by our own smart devices or slack off.
We used different study and project management techniques during the semester to solve our itch, such as keeping up with a Kanban-style to-do list and time-tracking how long each homework assignment takes. In addition, we wanted to track better how we performed daily to analyze whether or not we were studying effectively.
Despite seeing improvement in our study habits, we also realized that our workflow for recording our daily tasks was quite repetitive, and we used multiple applications in this process. This realization led wanting to create a web application that solves our problem and hope that it may potentially help other Gen Z students.
We believe that your working experience as a SWE and passion for building impactful software would make you a great mentor for our team.
-Wesley
