Aegleclose

For my capstone project, my team developed a paging system for hospitals which automates the assignment of patients to doctors. Assignment algorithm aims to minimize wait times (by load balancing doctors) and ensure proper assignment of specialists (through diagnostic categories).

The back-end server was written in Node.js on top of a MySQL database, with REST API endpoints for communication. The front-end web portal was implemented using Angular.js. A custom dedicated smartwatch was also built using Arduino.

Awards:

  • 3rd overall for best project (industry and faculty judges)
  • Queen's IEEE Student Project Competition Winner
  • 2nd place - IEEE Eastern Ontario Student Project Competition

    After an incredible experience being on the CEEC 2014 executive team, I was inspired to create and lead a conference called the Queen's Conference on Business & Technology. The purpose of the conference is to bridge the gap between the business and technology space at Queen's, and create a culture of innovation. The conference was attended by 130 delegates spanning all disciplines, and featured representatives from 10 different schools across Canada, making it the largest multidisciplinary conference on campus.

    After handing off the Co-Chair role, I returned to the team as a Sponsorship Director. QCBT 2016 saw tremendous growth, reaching 13 schools, having a 100% increase in delegate applications, and a 75% increase in sponsorship funds.

    AG-NAV Site Redesignclose

    Part of my internship last summer was to redesign the AG-NAV website. A major shift in the redesign was clearly presenting each product's value proposition, as opposed to boasting technical specifications. This resulted in a large increase in viewer engagement (bounce rate down 35%, pages per session up 100%). Sales increased 25% from the previous year.

    Some of the other challenges faced and overcome included implementing semi-automated translations, migrating with zero downtime, and ensuring the new CMS (Wordpress) was easier to use than the existing one.
