• SensiLab Projects

  • The Dashboard

    Jun 2017 - Mar 2018

    The Dashboard is a project giving real-time updates on activities and conditions in Monash Art Design & Architecture (MADA) and Faculty of Information Technology. It ties together data sources from multiple Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, web-based events and data from remote sources.

    > Highlights: I mentored three IT students who were doing their scholarship projects and programming units in SensiLab. With a test-driven approach, the quality of the project was ensured. I also developed a pipeline which made it possible to be continuously integrated and delivered.
