+
+**App development project for volunteer organization Techies Without Borders.** I helped implement the CMES mobile app, facilitating the download, viewing and playback of medical education content in resource-constrained countries.
+
+In the early stages, I built the download screen and business logic, the PDF viewer integration, and background audio playback using native code. Later, I built the native web view to integrate with the [CMES-Pi](https://cmesworld.org/cmes_product-Pi.html) solution, simplifying the business logic while adding support for future edge platforms.
+
+The app's front-end uses Capacitor and Angular, with several Capacitor plugins in Swift + Java to bundle native functionality.
+
+This app is actively used in medical facilities in Uganda and Nepal, to name a few.

+as I could from the team.

+My contribution was the iOS app prototype, of which a demo is shown below. I built the primary user flow of recording a police interaction, simultaneously using the front and back iPhone cameras to capture all angles. Activating the recording also displays the "Know Your Rights" screen, displaying basic dos and don'ts. Finally, I built a way to view previous recordings and share the files using the iOS share sheet.

+
+![resonance-screenshot.png](../assets/projects/resonance-screenshot.png "Screenshot of Resonance")
+
+Resonance is a cyberpunk-themed game show shooter. Enter the arena, blast your opponents, and become the star of the show. I worked with a student team of 12 to create this game over multiple months. The game was selected as an **IEEE GameSig finalist**.
+
+*Steam link coming soon!*
+
+My core role was to implement the game's networking logic using PurrNet, an open-source library for Unity.
+
+My first project was to implement networking for **Arena**, a free-for-all PVP game mode, where the player with the most eliminations wins. I learned how to isolate game logic on the server and synchronize state on each client. The networked API for Arena is used by every aspect of the game, including the scoreboard UI and spotlight mechanic. Following a pivot in the game’s core direction, I successfully handed this system to another engineer, who implemented a rating system for style points.
+
+Another project was the **build system**. Having a server dependency and Steam integration meant that the environment differed from development to production. We found it painful to prepare a build for each class-mandated playtest. With the help of Claude, I created a two-step system: an editor script to build and configure dependencies in one step, and a nightly GitHub Actions pipeline. Besides simplifying the build process, this created another positive side effect by ensuring we fixed compiler issues proactively.
+
+I'm currently working on a client-side prediction model to match other FPS games on the market.
+
+Even with our team size, the most important thing I learned was how to manage scope and scale. Each one of us pushed ourselves to the limits of our knowledge, going from bare theoretical understanding to practical working implementations. The goal was never to get things right on the first try; it was to learn and realize new ideas in multiple passes.

+**A lightweight content management system (CMS) designed to build class

+Notion, while offering additional features tailored to support schoolwork.
+
+I designed an entity-relationship diagram, MySQL database schema, and HTML/CSS
+high-fidelity prototype to support the project and show to professors. I then
+built a lightweight full-stack application using Python, Flask, and MySQL.

+**A proof-of-concept tutoring app for students learning math.** Using the phone camera, the app sees and understands math problems, guiding students through problems with hints and step-by-step questions. We added text-to-speech (TTS) to give our app a voice, further engaging students and making it feel like a more personal experience.
+
+[Tri Vu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tri-q-vu/) built a web interface prototype and Python-based backend utilizing the Gemini Vision API and Fish Audio for TTS.
+
+I built a native proof-of-concept using SwiftUI, AVFoundation, and other native frameworks. In the app, I built a chat and camera interface, integrating with Tri's backend by sending image and prompt data. Swiping to the right reveals the user's chat history, which is also continuously synced with the backend. Design-wise, I decided to use this gesture-based approach in order to bring the camera interface front and center.
+
+The app was built in 48 hours for **Cal Hacks 12.0**, the world's largest collegiate hackathon.
