||
## Interchange
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**An iOS app for college transit, currently available for Chapman University.**
|
||
View routes, shuttle locations, and estimated arrival times in a sleek, easy-to-use
|
||
interface. I built this app to address a gap in user experience, and this is just the beginning, with much more to come in the future.

||
**A game about not waking up a hungover corgi named Sandie.** Gather 2-4 people,
|
||
roll to determine order, and take turns to pet Sandie. Don’t wake her up…*or else*.
|
||
|
||
I worked on gameplay programming in Unity, and collaborated with
|
||
[Nicole Citardi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicole-citardi-16104a222/),
|
||
[Veronica Lan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/veronicalan/), and
|
||
[Daniel Ahn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-ahn-bb2326262/) to coordinate
|
||
UI development, artwork integration, and version control. There were so many
|
||
moving parts, and I really aimed to get as much input for the gameplay design
|
||
as I could from the team.

## Sourcebook
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**A lightweight content management system (CMS) designed to build class websites.**
|
||
I designed it to be a self-hosted alternative for popular apps like 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.

## Tad-Pool
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**A mobile app designed to make carpooling easier for college students.**
|
||
Find carpools based on time and location, and get rewarded for helping to reduce
|
||
CO2 emissions. I worked with [Jazmine Stanek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vjazminestanek/)
|
||
and [Isabelle Woo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/isabellewoo/) to create the UI/UX
|
||
design using Figma and FigJam, in a period of 24 hours for
|
||
[FullyBeyond 2024](https://fullybeyond.acmcsuf.com/).
|
||
|
||
The project reached the finalist judging stage.

## Power to the People
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**An iPhone app designed to make traffic stops safer for marginalized communities.**
|
||
Record interactions with police, assign and text emergency contacts, and be informed
|
||
of your rights. I led a student team of 4 to build a minimum viable product using
|
||
SwiftUI, in 36 hours. The app was selected for the **Organizer’s Pick award** at
|
||
[CruzHacks 2024](https://cruzhacks.com/), the premier hackathon of UC Santa Cruz.

## The Farmer's Dog Trivia Game
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**A Windows kiosk application designed to connect customers with the Farmer's
|
||
Dog experience.** Play the interactive trivia game, score points, and win swag!
|
||
I worked with [Walter Cheng](https://www.linkedin.com/in/walter-j-cheng/) to
|
||
plan out dependencies and requirements, set up the codebase, and implement the
|
||
screens for the app using React Native for Windows.
|
||
|
||
"I’ve worked with Brendan for many years, and he is the first person I turn to
|
||
for web/app development. He’s knowledgeable and efficient, and his task
|
||
management skills make him an ideal project member." — Walter Cheng, project overseer
