Dear Mr Zikun,
This is Shreyas from team UPPU. We would be delighted for an opportunity to work with you on the development on our app, PoachCoach. PoachCoach is a mobile application targeted at both those in Singapore who regularly play or want to pick up a sport, as well as coaches who want to offer their services and teach a sport. It aims to bring these two groups together and set up vibrant coach-student communities in a plethora of sports all across Singapore. While there do exist a few other apps that provide similar services in Singapore, like Wow Coach, these apps are not very well-known and lack the location based matching of students and coaches we wish to offer. Moreover, with strong connections in the cricket ecosystem in Singapore, we strongly believe we can first roll out this app and test it among cricket players and coaches in Singapore.
We believe that since you are looking for a full stack mobile or wel development, PoachCoach provides an excellent offer to help us realize our goal as well. Lastly, we are glad that you do not mind working with beginners as well, because we do not have a lot of prior experience working in app development, but we are currently learning and are committed to pick up the necessary skills and practices required to create PoachCoach
Thank You

Dear Mr Zhu Zikun ID-9 @”Zhu Zikun”
ScribeMaster is a webapp that aims to address long-standing issues and difficulties experienced by Game Masters(GMs) and players of TableTop Role Playing Games(TTRPGS), such as Dungeons & Dragons.
From our survey, many GMs face difficulties managing large amounts of scattered information, limited customisability from online tools and difficulties in communication slowing down the game. This makes it difficult for both the GM and players to enjoy and immerse themselves playing.
Our goal with ScribeMaster is to simplify the workflow and information management faced by GMs, centralizing campaign and information management, simplifying combat tracking, enhancing party communication and providing real-time stat monitoring. Our application targets both beginner and experienced GMs who often struggle with fragmented tools, paywalls, and steep learning curves found in existing platforms like VTT Foundry or D&D Beyond.
This would greatly reduce the work needed for setting up and running campaigns for GMs, and players would be able to more easily access custom resources setup by their GM.
Why choose us?
We would love to learn from you, given your extensive experience in both frontend and backend development, as our project will require extensive data management for the backend, and a smooth and intuitive frontend. Our goal is to provide a smooth and efficient experience for our users, and we believe that your experience and guidance would help us greatly.
If you are available to mentor us, we would be incredibly grateful for your support. We are also happy to explain our proposal further or walk you through our prototype and development plan at your convenience.

Dear Zikun @"Zhu Zikun",
We are excited to introduce you to Xin Hao Fan (新好饭, named after 拼好饭 in China), a platform to match users with similar Grabfood group orders. This enables everyone in the group to save on delivery fees, get discounts, and most importantly: order food they actually want, when they want it.
Our team’s experience spans both technical and business fields. Kexi is a highly committed programmer, who not only scores well consistently in programming modules, but is also doing data science projects in her free time.Zizhong has participated in hackathons in NUS, such as the Singlife Datathon, where he utilised Python, XGBoost and R to match insurance agents with clients. Before college, co-founded Stick’em, a startup providing robotics kits programmed with Arduino to primary schools. He is passionate about developing software that provides value to its users.
We are highly interested in software development, learning new things, and most importantly, eating good food! This will not only be a summer pet project for us; we hope to launch a fully functional service starting with NUS, so everyone can get to enjoy good food at cheaper prices.

Dear Zikun @"Zhu Zikun",
We are Kingsley and Keming from Team 7428 building LivinDex.
LivinDex is an online platform designed to bring people together through shared learning and teaching. Whether it's everyday skills like changing a lightbulb or washing a car, or more advanced abilities like learning a new language, LivinDex makes knowledge accessible and community-driven. Anyone can join as a learner or become a creator to share their own expertise. Best of all, both creators and users are rewarded for actively participating on the platform!
Given your expertise in end-to-end web and mobile development, and your passion for rigorous software engineering practices, we believe LivinDex would greatly benefit from your guidance and skillset. We're especially encouraged by your openness to working with beginners, while we may not have extensive experience in web development yet, we are eager to learn as much as possible under your guidance throughout this Orbital journey.
Thank you for considering our project, we’d love to connect and explore this further!

Dear Zikun
@"Zhu Zikun"
We are Xingchen and Yangjie two incoming Y2 Computer Science students. We’d love to invite you to collaborate with us on our project. ByteBites is an intelligent campus dining assistant application specially designed for NUS students. It integrates real-time queue information, menus, prices, nutritional tags, user reviews, and operating hours from various campus canteens, helping students make quick, convenient, and healthy dining decisions. At the same time, food stall operators can improve their offerings based on user feedback, enhancing the overall dining experience.
As a team committed to building a high-quality and production-ready product, we deeply understand the importance of solid system architecture, maintainable code, and a clear, efficient user interface.
Your extensive hands-on experience in full-stack development is exactly the kind of technical expertise we need to elevate our project. With your guidance, we believe we can:
We aim not just to create a prototype that “works,” but to deliver a product that is well-designed, structurally sound, and technically robust. That’s why we sincerely hope to earn your support and guidance — and we truly believe your mentorship will be a valuable opportunity for us to grow as developers.

Dear Mr Zhu Zikun @"Zhu Zikun" ,
NutriNexus is a health wellness application inspired by Strava and Forest, where users get to adopt healthier lifestyles through a gamified points system. Points are awarded from walking more and making healthier food choices, which they can then use to customise their avatars and gardens. Beyond personal goals, we strive to foster an encouraging community, where users can interact with each other’s avatars and visit each other’s garden.
Why choose us?
We are highly motivated individuals who want to do our best in making our application successful. Despite us not having much previous experience, we are eager to learn and willing to invest our time in this meaningful project and we believe your mentorship could be pivotal in helping us achieve that goal.
We would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from you and refine our application under your mentorship. Hope you can consider our request. Thank you for your time and we look forward to the possibility of working together.
