Hackathon Project

Poki Buddy – Gamified Shared-Home App

Flutter • Dart • Provider • Firebase

A gamified home-management system that turns chores, bills, and groceries into an XP-based progression experience for shared homes.

  • Implemented key features: bill splitting, chore XP tracking, shared grocery lists, home joining, and weekly leaderboards.
  • Designed modular state management with Provider, reducing unnecessary UI rebuilds.
  • Created a Pokémon-inspired UI with animations and evolution visuals to increase user engagement.

Currently working on

Ongoing projects I’m actively designing, building, and iterating on.

Quick Talk AI Emotional Support Companion
Concept & Prototype Phase

Quick Talk is an AI-powered emotional support companion that helps users navigate stress, overthinking, and everyday problems through empathetic conversation, reflective questions, and simple mindfulness tools.

  • Detects emotional tone in messages and adapts responses to match the user’s state.
  • Uses reflective questioning to help users unpack how they feel instead of giving generic advice.
  • Provides quick tools like breathing guides, grounding prompts, and journaling suggestions.
  • Plans for conversation memory and personalization over time (recurring topics, preferred tone, etc.).
  • Designed with clear safety boundaries — it redirects to real resources for serious situations.

Planned stack: Java/Python backend · NLP (spaCy / transformer embeddings) · Flutter front-end · Firebase / PostgreSQL for storage.
