Dear Sherrie,

Good day to you!

We are seeking for a mentor to guide us through the development of our web application, Easylink. Our product aims to link university students with each other and with projects based on their skills and interests to make university life more eventful. More details of Easylink can be found in our proposal, poster and video.

Your experience with server side development and big data at TikTok would be a substantial aid to our project. Our aim is to build a robust, dynamic system that can refine recommendations based on user activity, just as TikTok’s For You page curates personalised content for users in response to their interactions.

We are very excited to have you as our mentor. Please feel free to reach out to us through Telegram or email! 

Thank you for your time!

Kind regards,
Cheng Yi and Huzaifa

Hi Sherrie! We are a pair of self-motivated, driven students who are building a platform which enables open-source collaborative development of notes/study material/cheatsheets (like GitHub or Kaggle for notes).

This idea came about as a result of problems we (and our friends) face, and genuinely believe that this would be a useful tool that will greatly enhance the educational outcomes of students everywhere.

We intend to build on an MEVN stack, and believe your experience in server-side backend development would greatly benefit our team and your interest in solving real world problems closely aligns with us. We would be grateful and excited to be under your mentorship!

Do reach out to us via the aforementioned contact methods and thank you for your time!

Dear Ms He, We are Team Whistle. We would first like to thank you for offering your expertise for this year’s Orbital Project. Our team really hopes to be able to work with you as we understand that you are a current software engineer at TikTok with experience in big data related topics. As such, we believe that we are a great fit as we are hoping to come up with a music application that transcribes notes from any melody by analysing audio wave features. Furthermore, your experience in working at TikTok, a company that produces short video clips (music related) would be really valuable for our team. **Project Details:** Our project proposal, poster and video can be found in the google drive link below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CQERSTn1SUE7EZACbSeA4gPBBi8UXQyn?usp=sharing **Team Particulars:** Team Name: Whistle Student Names: Jody Tng Jin Zi & Shayer Ahmed Contact Details: Email: e0772793@u.nus.edu & shayer@u.nus.edu Telegram Handles: @jodytng & @theshaydays Mobile Numbers: 9721 5145 & 8752 9752 We wish to work with you for our project and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Both Wei Guan and I are NUS student staying on campus and we constantly encounter countless issues when having to manually create order lists on our Telegram group chats. We feel that our Orbital Project has the potential to solve all of these issues, provide much more, and could be indispensable to many Telegram group chats. We hope that with your expertise in big data and your experience as a software engineer at TikTok we could fulfil this potential. Do reach out to us using our email or telegram handles! We look forward to your favourable reply. Regards EzOrder Team

Hi Sherrie!
We are Team JavaBean. What we are doing for this Summer is to create a pixel perfect, Open-World RPG Style Game that utilises NoSQL Cloud database - Firebase for a virtual trading platform. Throughout last semester, we have been incessantly brainstorming our lore and what the game would be like, I hope our proposal would pique your interest in mentoring our team.

We are highly driven by our ambition to bring what we could've only dreamed of a few months ago into reality. We wanted to share with the world our story in a beautiful package in the form of a game:

Even though we only have 2.5 months, we would like to work on an area that is the trending the most in the tech community - blockchain, so that we can better understand how these things work. This is why we are challenging ourselves by ambitiously infusing NFT with all the in-game assets! Despite our previous experiences in creating other projects, we are still 2 Y1 CS students, thus we lacked the direction in adhering to and implementing good software engineering skills and principles, especially in the testing department. This is why we look forward to your guidance in helping our team to reach our potential and to make this game a success!

Thank you!
Team JavaBean.

Hello Ms He,

We are creating WellNUS, a web application that tackles this problem by matching students to a group of like-minded peers that will act as a peer support system and improve the accessibility of counselling by utilising volunteer counsellors on top of professional counsellors. By doing so, we are looking to tackle the increasingly detrimental problem of declining mental health, particularly among students primarily within NUS. We hope to be able to work with you on this Orbital project, learning as much as possible with the aim of turning our idea into a reality.

Yours Sincerely,
Team State

The 100 Club - A Validated Concept with 20+ Interested Student Founders Hi Ms He, thank you for volunteering to be part of Orbital. We believe your skillsets + prior experiences as a Software Engineer, would make a great fit for our team, and we would love the opportunity to work together + learn from you. We’ve got a proven, validated concept, and a motivated team that will ensure strong initiative + planning frameworks to reduce any operational concerns on your end. Entrepreneurship is difficult - it’s lonely, it’s tough to hold yourself accountable, and it’s not easy to explore uncharted territories. That is why our team is currently building The 100 Club, which is a mastermind membership platform + community, that matches entrepreneurial individuals into groups of 4, in order for them to support each other in staying accountable, sharing advice, and networking to grow their business. Membership platform features include: • Membership system • Directory of Customisable User Profiles with Search Functionality • Swag Store with Credits • Mentorship access for chats • Content Library It is an idea that we are going to expand/commercialise in the future and we have already found traction with over 20+ student founders keen on joining us. Feel free to check out our material below! We hope you consider our proposal favourably and look forward to hearing from you. Cheers.

Hello Sherrie,

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
