I made too many mistakes of making unrealistic, unspecific goals. In my college sophomore year, a shower thought struck my mind: I gotta make realistic, specific goals and put these on my GitHub.
This page keeps track of all my life goals. Plus, I use this page also to show what kind of projects I'm working on with as many pictures and as few words as possible.
My friends and I wrote this at 2023 MIT hackathon (HackMIT). It's a map to help beekeepers and their bees by finding which area has the best potential for honey yield by looking at Open Meteo's environmental data, such as precipitation and temperature. We host this as a web app on https://BeeMovr.nsustain.com
A self-sustainable platform for local producers, such as farmers and beekeepers, and for local consumers. Started as a project for Dr. G, my biology professor at my college who has a farm with her husband, but my team realized a lot of local producers would actually want to use this too, so we opened it up for all local producers: https://GoodLifeFarms.nsustain.com
A college friend of mine and I created this because we realized it's hard for regular, normal people like us to contribute to environmental sustainability directly. So, the idea of Nsustain is that you can start making direct impact on environmental sustainability by asking people who actually work in the field, "what do you all need?" and then writing programs for whatever they need.
| Project | Purpose |
|---|---|
| BeeMovr[1] | Help beekeepers by coding whatever they need for their bees. |
| Good Life Farms[2] | Help local producers (farmers, beekeeprs, florists, and so on) by giving them a platform to serve their shareholders. Deisnged to be as self-sustainable as possible: it's built with Google Sheets and Google Forms instead of fancy, expensive databases. |
| Nsustain[3] | Nsustain is a group of volunteer programmers who love the e[N]vironment and [sustain]ability. We write code for whoever needs our code (researchers, farmers, doctors, etc) as long as their work is realted to the environmental sustainability. |
