MUMMIFY

Mummify is a Chrome Extension that disrupts Facebook chatting tradition.

Mummify is a project created during nwHacks 2016, the biggest 24 hours hackathon in western Canada hosted by Univeristy of British Columbia. Mummify provides in-browser text encryption and decryption by simply highlighting and clicking the Chrome Extension icon. It uses a multi-layer encryption by having both a private key and a public key. By applying such asymmetric encryption and decryption, complete privacy and security are ensured. Anyone is able to encrypt using the public key, but only the person with the corresponding private key can decrpt the secret message.

Honours: Private Internet Access: Best Privacy, Security or Crypto Hack ($2000)

Travel Agency

Travel Agency is a concise system that simulates the process of travel agencies designing packages and customers purchasing packages by inputting their requirements.

For Travel Agency, we have two classes of users: a customer and an agency employee. The customers are able to query what packages the agency offers, inputting the month of travel they want. They can also query to become a club member by inputting their email address. Agency employees are able query packages in multiple ways. They can input a month of travel to see what cars, accommodations, flights, and activities are available within that month. They will be able to search by car rental, accommodation, activity, and flight in order to get back the different times and destinations that are available. They will also be able to search customers by their IDs to query what packages they have bought. They can also input, update, or delete packages if needed.

This is a summer project built within five days. First of all, required schemas are designed and implemented. A database is then populated using MySQL. Creating different queries, we are able to perform various quering tasks when calling our database. Then we use Java to embed the database system in an applciation that has a Graphical User Interface. All of these components designed can easily be integrated into new projects, allowing us to create various solutions for future database projects.

MIND THE GAP

Mind the Gap, an android application that guides travellers to wander over London and never get lost.

This application is designed to help users navigate their locations and find various transportations in London. Using the design pattern--singleton, the application first renders the map of London underground (stations, lines, stops, etc.). Then the model that the application uses to store and organize raw TfL (Transport for London) data is implemented. In addition, TfL API and JSON parsers are used to assess and parse live data from TfL service for each station. The whole application is run by Android emulator: Genymotion. Users can simply select stations and check the arrival time of different underground railways.

• Built with: Java, JSON, Genymotion, VirtualBox

DRAWING BOARD

Drawing Board is a DrRacket application that allows users to create drawings on blank canvas.

The program is started with a blank canvas. Users can change the size and color of their drawing pens before they start. If a user press the mouse button on the canvas, a blue dot will be drawn. In addition, every time the mouse button is pressed, a new dot appears wherever the mouse is clicked. Furthermore, dragging the mouse while holding down the mouse button creates a thick line by plaicng dots all along the path that the mouse follows. Eventually, a picture with creation will be accomplished.
