Past Experience
My latest internship was at TCS SMU iCityLab. I work on the current SHINE SENIOR project. I develop a unified platform to cater to different vendors into one common platform for caregivers to use. I also work on the IOT testbed to track on the different sensors reading via Raspberry Pi. I learnt that using IOT can track daily activities of senior citizen that enable their caregivers to be alert 24/7 in case of any emergencies. I believe with the use of IOT, it can help create many 'SMART' solution which can help improve lives of many.
