A short description of our project,
We aim to cut down time spent waiting in queues at NUS by creating a pre-order system where you can pre-order food and specify when you will collect it. We also wish to implement a payment system whereby students can pay for their meal remotely, cutting out the hassle of any payment during collection. This way you can truly grab and go with your food.
We are team YPX and we would like to seek your guidance as mentor for our Orbital Project. Our team is planning to create a social messaging music android application for music enthusiasts to connect with one another.
We hope to leverage on your vast experience in mentoring and software engineering to enhance our project. Thank you for your kind consideration and we look forward to discussing further with you. Our email contact are e0411260@u.nus.edu and e0014700@u.nus.edu. Alternatively our telegram are @yyyypppyyp @Hpx123 .
My teammate, Yu Ming and I are looking to design and build a multiplayer gamified productivity app that allows players to stay focused and game at the same time, together.
My name is Wang Qian and my partner's name is Yang Yutong. We are going to make a web and mobile app to help students and staff to find food on campus and document calories they intake.
After checking out your story at the link in the slide, we know you have much experience in engineering management and are good at mentoring products. As this is our first time trying to develop an app to satisfy people's needs, we really hope to get guidance from you!
My name is Roy, and my team mate's name is Destinee. We are building a mobile application using React Native where users can swap their clothing with each other to encourage sustainable fashion. Details of the application, our aims, and our technological stack are outlined in the proposal.
We hope that you will consider mentoring our team as we could use both your technical expertise as well as your guidance in making pivotal product decisions. Hope to hear from you!
Anything you'd like the mentor to know:
Apart from learning, we hope to be able to successfully deploy this website in the future and positively impact NUS hostel meal culture through your guidance.
If you're keen in mentoring my team, do let us know and we hope to learn from you :)
Hi Laurence!
We are Clara and Olivia from team localink. Our project centres around creating a site that allows local physical business to digitize their shop. In this age, online shopping is overtaking shopping at physical stores. We hope that by providing greater ease of searching for items in the local area and convenient navigation, our app can help physical businesses make a comeback, as we bring the fun and ease of local shopping back.
We are Adithya Narayan Rangarajan Sreenivasan and Hieu Dao Ngoc from Team NUSocial. We are planning to build a social networking app keeping in mind the needs of a university student. This platform would serve as a gateway to the social and academic lives of university students!
Our team is really interested in full-stack development and that is why we chose a project which covers both frontend and backend. We feel that your mentorship will be vital to the success of this project. So far, we have come up with an unfinished prototype of the app on Adobe XD.
We feel that we would benefit greatly from your guidance as our project is equally technically challenging on the frontend (UI/UX design) as it is on the backend (managing Docker containers), requiring good knowledge of the full tech stack at every stage.
We aspire to build a platform (web/mobile dev) for the student community to find a study group either physically (nearby) or virtually (anytime, anywhere) to support the journey of tackling modules (especially for now as we are learning remotely). We also believe strongly in disciplined execution and through your mentorship, we would be launching our product that serves the community!
We are Phillmont and Marcus from team Bloodwork, and we are building BloodConnect, a platform to connect doctors and blood donors in cases of emergencies or low supply at blood banks. Doctors can make requests, and the nearest compatible donors will be notified. Donors can also browse through requests and start donating.
We plan to build the platform with React Native for the front-end mobile application and Node.js, Firebase, and MySQL for the back-end RESTful API and database management.
You can contact me through Telegram at @phillmontmusic, WhatsApp at +65 8651 6118, or email at phillmont@u.nus.edu.
Thank you for your kind attention, and we look forward to working with your guidance! (☞゚ヮ゚)☞
We hope to tap on your expertise in mobile app development, (particularly using React Native), and believe that you would be an invaluable resource to guide us along in this journey.
Hi Laurence,
We aim to design trippyy, a user-friendly platform that optimises and generates trip itineraries that best suits each traveller from their inputs and selections, based on our auto-curation algorithm which would consider practical factors such as minimising total time spent travelling between sites-of-interest, or their total travel expenditure.

We have noticed that your expertise in evaluating product decisions strongly aligns with our aim to design a usable platform that users can genuinely interact with. Xupeng and I aim to commercialise our platform to stakeholders involving travellers and firms in the tourism industry. We believe that your command of the tech stack and its various sublevels will ensure the rigour and the delivery of the systems we built for trippyy, and in doing so heighten the potential of our platform's capability and scalability.

Hi Laurence!
My partner Xing Peng and I are designing a Web Application that seeks to improve efficiency of parcel delivery by allowing other users(commuters) to conveniently choose and deliver the parcels based on their destination.
Our team is creating an Android mobile application that aims to provide SOC students with both an online and offline option to engage in peer-to-peer learning and socialising, creating a strong support system in which they can seek help, inspiration and companionship from.
We are motivated and excited to make something useful for SOC students and at the same time gain more insights to deepen our learning in our field of interest. We hope that our idea will interest you and we believe that you will be able to bring us to greater heights through our Orbital journey!
Our team AutoCropper is creating a mobile application as a platform for local small scale farmers and producers to conduct preliminary testing on crop growth. This mobile application is linked to a device powered by the NodeMCU esp8266 chip which will provide the desired conditions for crop growth.
We hope we will be able to construct something useful during the summer break and at the same time expose ourselves to new areas of interests. We sincerely hope that you will consider mentoring our project and we look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank You!
Our team DoWhat? is creating a React Native mobile application that automates the process of finding common available timings and things to do when a group of people want to plan social activities!
We want to be able to make something useful and practical, and have a fun experience throughout our orbital journey. Hope our project interests you and we will be able to work together and learn from you!
Our team, Homital, will be working on a complete smart home ecosystem, from server-side application, website and mobile apps, to physical smart speaker and smart plug.
I am Zhe Hao from team Anonymous. In short, we would like to create a web project called the NUSCommunity, which integrates a few common requirements shared by all students onto a single platform so that the NUS students are well-supported. We understand that you are versatile and willing to mentor across the technical stack of the projects. We appreciate this and hope that you could guide us in this project with your expertise and passion.

We are team Chio Chio and our project name is EatWat. We are planning to make a mobile app to address the current problem of the extremely long queuing time during lunchtime in NUS. By allowing students to pre-order their meals via the app and notifying them once their food is done, they can beat the queue and get their meals in the most efficient manner. Vendors can also benefit from our app as they can get a deeper insight into the customer demand and prepare food in advance.
In the future, we want to expand our user base to more settings such as hawker centers and other universities.
We would be honoured to have your guidance along this journey. Attached are the details of our project. Kindly find the following links for more information:
We are Teddy and Petrick of Team VIGINTI, and we would love to have you guide us through our project! Our project revolves around designing Snapsheet, a personal finance manager app for convenient expenses tracking. We focus on features pivotal for easy bookkeeping, namely scanning receipts (using Microsoft Azure’s Form Recognizer) and exporting to suitable file formats (e.g. .xlsx), all encapsulated in a simple, modern design.
Having looked through your slide, we find your overall stack expertise especially valuable and fitting to our project. We aim to capture minimalism in our design and incorporate more features that can value-add the app, so we would love to learn those, especially from an experienced mentor like you! We hope that you would favour taking part in our project and make Snapsheet come true. With your guidance, we believe that Snapsheet can be more than what it is now.

Hi Laurence!
Our team, planar, intends to create a note-taking and group-assignment collaboration platform as our Orbital project. We understand that you have plenty of experience across the technology stack and that would be very compatible for our project as our project also involves a full-stack deployment on AWS, PostgreSQL, Polymer and Syncthing. Your industry and mentorship experience would be extremely beneficial for us as we based our project off technical considerations such as by trying to reduce server load with some P2P integration. We hope to be able to work with you as we feel that your guidance would greatly aid us in the journey of developing this project.
I am Chris, and together with my teammate Yitao, we are team Rank-a-thon. Our project is an end-to-end web application for large-scale hackathons, to support efficient, reliable and transparent judging using pairwise ranking algorithms. The app would generate a list of projects for each judge to rank. The backend will then compute the final ranking of the projects to determine the winners of the hackathon. This results in less subjectivity and more reliability, efficiency, and transparency in the judging process. This app will be deployed at Hack&Roll 2021, Singapore’s largest student-run hackathon.
