Projects

GeoGuardian

Your people's safety and yours comes first.

GeoGuardian is an Android app designed to monitor users movements, in order to send a notification to a person or persons of your trust if an unexpected event happens during that time.

This app enables the users to create routes so they can arrive to their destination and also allows them to create safe and danger zones. In any case, the app will send notifications if the users don’t get to their destination, they go out of safe zones or they go inside danger zones.

It is especially designed for unsupervised children, people with demetia or impairment, transporters of valuables goods or people who want to feel safer when traveling through unstrusted areas or roads.

This was a team project, during my MSc. This app was made by 6 students (including myself), as an assignment.

Explain Like I'm 5

Basic project of information retrieval.

‘Explain like I’m 5’ is a web app created to crawl the subreddit Explain Like I’m Five, to analyze the information in the web and proccess it. Once done that, it allows to perform searches based on information retrieval techniques.

Agile software development with Scrum, while coding in .Net and React.

Working for the first time while I was finishing my final BSc project simultaneously.

Starting here gave me a taste of the real world, where I was able to learn new methodologies, new technologies and so far and so forth.
