We are a pair of passionate students interested in building products that solve issues and make the lives of others easier and better.
Omniflix is an app to help users search, organise and track the immense number of entertainment options available out there, ranging from movies and tv series to watch, books to read and games to play.
As first-year students with limited external software engineering experience, we hope to be able to learn about best practices in the industry and refine our code quality.
From this mentorship, we hope to develop our skills and knowledge to take on projects that create a meaningful impact in future.
Feel free to contact us via email / Telegram should you have any questions.
Thank you for your consideration!

Hi Laurence,
Team WagTrack is reaching out because we believe your expertise and interests align perfectly with our project, WagTrack, and we would be thrilled to have you as our mentor.
WagTrack is a Flutter app designed for Animal Service Providers (AVS) to be used in real-life scenarios. We're working with data from YSN and have four AVS mentors providing us with valuable insights to ensure the app meets their needs. The main goal is to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases in Singapore through biosurveillance for pet owners, by allowing them to more easily and conveniently track their pets’ health. Additionally, WagTrack will serve as a platform for pet owners to learn about animal welfare, track, and share their moments with their pets.
We are a passionate team dedicated to tackling real-world problems and bringing about positive change in the animal care industry in Singapore. We are eager to learn from your professional experiences, particularly in industry coding standards and best practices.
We believe that our project suits what you are looking for, and that your mentorship will be immensely beneficial in helping us develop our app and reach new heights.
I hope this sparks your interest! We'd be grateful for the opportunity to discuss WagTrack further and explore the potential for mentorship.
Thank you for considering our request.
Best Regards,
Zyon & Zee :)

Hello Laurence,
Our game is a 2D top-down RPG inspired by the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series. Players will be able to play as a capybara to explore dungeons, fight monsters, cook items found in dungeons to make food, make friends, own property (taverns), buy and sell items and play side quests, while there is a main story mode to explore the entire map of the land. More in depth details about the game can be found inside our project proposal.
In our poster and video, you can see screengrabs of our gameplay and you can see that it is a fun and exciting game we plan to develop. With your mentorship, we can take this game project to greater heights, than what we can do on our own. Hope to hear from you soon.
Trying our best,
The Happy Capys Team

Hi Laurence! We are Jouzu, the platform that aims to teach people Japanese through organic conversations. After interviewing more than 50 Japanese learners from language centers and in school, we realize that most people find it difficult to bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical use of Japanese. Everyone learned to talk as little babies by jumping right into it and picking up patterns as we go, so why can’t we do so with new languages?
Jouzu wants to achieve organic language learning by getting learners to converse with each other, receiving corrections from an AI Japanese teacher to correct their mistakes on-demand. We want learners to only pick up the most practical and useful knowledge, and be able to communicate as soon as possible.
Our current plan is to build our frontend using React Native, and Backend with Django, generating AI feedback using OpenAI's API.
Our app will ship with two flagship features:
However, we are in talks with several Japanese educators to understand the problem space on a deeper level. We are prepared to change our development plans in future sprints to cater to the needs of real-world users.
We are eager to build a solution that will be adopted by our target users as soon as possible, but we also don't want to sacrifice code quality and proper practices, especially system design and CI/CD decisions.
It would be incredible to have your guidance in this project. We're keen to learn from your years of engineering expertise so we can make an impact in the language learning community by helping teachers to teach in a more organic, practical way.
Thank you for spending time to read about our project, looking forward to learning from you!

Dear Mentor Laurence,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Zeyuan, and along with my teammate Stanley, we are developing an app called Uniwell, aimed at helping university students maintain a healthy balance between their academic responsibilities and personal well-being. We are passionate and self-directed learners, committed to mastering software engineering principles and creating a meaningful impact on student life.
We were impressed by your extensive experience in full stack development, long service to orbital project, and your dedication to solving societal problems. As active members of the NUS AI/Lambda Club and the NUS Hackers, we continuously seek opportunities to grow and learn. Additionally, our involvement in the NUS Freshmen Orientation Programme, where we oversee around 20 OGLs and 200 students, has given us a deep understanding of the challenges new students face.
We believe that your mentorship would be invaluable to our project. We are eager to learn and take on any advice you can offer. We are confident that with your guidance, we can refine and enhance Uniwell to reach its full potential and create a lasting impact. We would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss our project with you in more detail and explore the possibility of having you as our mentor.
Thank you for considering our request. We look forward to the possibility of working with you.
Best regards,
Zeyuan and Stanley
