GenGO! is a highly interactive mobile language learning app built for the Android platform as part of a research study conducted for the Mobile User Interfaces course taught at York University.
The overall goal of the project was to learn and explore the ways that different interactions with learning material can impact our memorisation of said material.
In order to accomplish this, I designed and built GenGO!, a mobile language learning app that implements a spaced repetition system along with an array of unique interaction methods such as traditional tapping, typing, voice control, and dragging for users to study foreign languages with.
The results of the research were actually quite interesting as it was found that the more interactive styles of studying actually yielded lower test scores, contradicting the initial hypothesis.

Pulsefex is an embedded systems project built for the final project of the Embedded Systems course taught at York University.
The system's functions include the capture and display of real-time heart rate and SpO2 levels.
The project was built on the STM32WB55RG MCU, interfaces with the MAX30102 pulse oximeter and TMP102 temperature sensor, and displays real-time data on a SSD1306 OLED screen. This was my first embedded systems project and as such I was eager to contribute.
