COURSEWORK
PROJECTS Cloud Deployment and Android App Development, Distributed System SPRING 2016
•! Used an HttpServlet to implemented RESTful server. It can fetch JSON information from NASA's
APOD API and filter the information.
•! Developed an Android APP to send the HTTP request to server and display the information for user.
•! Deployed the web application to Heroku.
Intelligence Exchange Java Application Design, Distributed System SPRING 2016
•! Built a Java application so that spies in the field are able to securely transmit their current location
(longitude, latitude, altitude) to Intelligence Headquarters.
•! Consolidated the system using asymmetric key, symmetric key, hash function and cryptography salt
with algorithms including RSA, TEA, MD5.
•! Programmed with TCP Sockets and generated KML for visualization with Google Earth Pro.
Cooking Boot Camp Android APP development, JAVA Smartphone Development, CMU FALL 2015
•! Provided cooking recipes for the users, with liking, collecting and searching local recipe functions.
•! Analyzed the target population and core function of the app. Design user story, business model, class
diagram, page flow, user cases in the OOD process before coding.
•! Designed UI in xml layout.
•! Used Android Studio to develop the Android client. including features: sign in, sign out, upload
information, upload image, searching user by GPS.
•! Implemented remote database with MySQL server and local database with SQLite.
Bee Farm Simulation, Stochastic Optimization, CMU SPRING 2015
•! An interactive game where bees and ants will compete for resources and evolve to survive with
different strategies.
•! Applied different Evolutionary Algorithms to simulate a simple ecosystem: Genetic Algorithm,
•! Evolutionary Strategic algorithm, Evolutionary Programming.
•! Developed in Unity3D environment with C#.
•! Test the parameters like speed, location, range of activities, orientation and how those parameters
affect the honey gathering process.
