psychicBreaker
A remake of the classic game made popular by Blackberry that uses the Phaser.io game framework and webgazer.js to provide eye tracking control.
I worked on this project during my winter break 2016, and while I was able to use webgazer as a control for the paddle, I found that it was inconsistent in recognizing eyes within the face (however when recognized, it is accurate). Another issue I encountered was smoothening the predictions to prevent jittery paddle control.

Ticket Managing Application
As the Production Director for UCSB Dhadkan, a South Asian philanthropy organization, part of my role was webmaster of our website www.ucsbdhadkan.com. This year for our annual dance competition, Nachle Deewane, I began developing an application to sell and track tickets exclusively using Venmo because of its popularity among college students. Unfortunately during development, Venmo temporarily closed off their API in order to launch “Pay with Venmo” and changed their legal terms. Due to the time restraint I was forced to abandon the project and switch to NightOut to handle ticketing.
Knock Knock
Knock Knock is an Arduino based device that notifies you with a text when someone knocks on the door. It can listen for unique knock patterns registered for specific people and send custom text messages.
Knock Knock was created by a colleague and I in a projects class at UCSB in my first year, and could easily be extended to cover more use cases. In fact, it is a rudimentary version of the successful Kickstarter project Knocki which has raised over $800,000 in funding. And we built it first!
