Hello Albion,
We are Team planlah (5216) consisting of Jotham and Akash - Year 1 Computer Science students who are passionate about software engineering, machine learning and entrepreneurship. Jotham is currently interning as a data engineer at TikTok’s E-Commerce team who is strongly passionate and has prior experience in machine learning research, while Akash is an ardent developer who has experimented with a lot of technology stacks and infrastructure tooling. Our project seeks to combine both of our interests - we hope to build a social media application that leverages machine learning.
Our proposed application revolves around a personalized recommendation system for activities and places targeted towards groups of friends, in light of the recent changes in SIngapore’s COVID restrictions. Users would be able to create “outings”, groups with their jio-ed friends and family, and get recommended places and activities to do based on the group’s combined interests and location.
We aim to expand this into a commercializable social media application for Singaporeans where we would partner with local F&B and recommend their shops, and then give discounts to interested jio-ers. By allowing Singaporeans to post reviews of the places and activities after visiting them on their social media accounts, we ultimately aim for our product to be the premier Singaporean social media application for social outings.
Our reason for choosing you as our mentor is the wealth of experience and industry insights that you have in software and quality engineering from your time at PayPal. Given your level of experience and wisdom, we would be honored to have your mentorship and perspectives to help shape our long-term aims of reaching a commercially viable market strategy for the application.
Thank you for taking your time to read this message, and we look forward to being your mentees.
Regards,
Jotham and Akash
Good day to you Mr Albion, we are team hALLinOne! In our Orbital journey, we seek to learn as much as possible, besides completing the project, and with the amount of experience you have had in PayPal, we would be more than delighted to hear about your experiences since the first day you have begun your work. We want to connect with you, and share with you more about what we have in mind for hALLinOne! We would also love to find out about what you have done, given your vast experience of 10 years, and highly value any advice you can shed on us.

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 Albion ,
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.
