Dis Chess Clock

Inspired by Netflix's the Queen's Gambit, I started getting back into chess. After playing with family and friends, I kept finding myself asking "whose move is it?" and that made me realize audible feedback should be more pronounced in chess clock apps. Dis Chess Clock uses trash talk to trigger the opponent into action.

空气小可爱

Air pollution in China is brutal. This app allows you to get real time AQI data for China's 10 largest cities and displays a cute sticker that varies based on the pollution level. 空气小可爱

Breathercise

After reading "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" I built Breathercise for users to practice mindful breathing.

Linehopper

After the lockdown due to Covid19, my cofounder and I launched Linehopper, a costco delivery service that faciliated costco deliveries while also providing much needed employment opportunities for students in the community.
