Throughout my academic and professional career, I have developed a diverse range of projects/business ideas that showcase my creativity, strategic thinking, and problem-solving abilities. These include business ideas and proposals that highlight my skills in market research and crafting practical solutions. Each project is supported by additional work, such as pitch decks, marketing strategies, and visual designs, reflecting my ability to bring concepts to life and address real-world challenges. Through these projects, I aim to demonstrate my capacity to ideate, execute, and deliver impactful results in various domains.
XPlor: Redefining Travel Through Authentic Local Experiences
Xplor is a travel accommodation app developed during a Business Administration and Management course at King’s College London in July 2024. The app adapts the concept of housing exchange students to connect travelers with local hosts, creating personalized travel experiences.
In my role, I conducted financial analysis, developed a compelling value proposition, and carried out comprehensive user and market research to evaluate the app’s potential. I also created a detailed business plan that addressed key industry challenges and highlighted the app’s unique features, positioning it as a solution for more authentic, localized travel.
The project concluded in a pitch to the accredited staff at King’s College London, where the concept received constructive feedback and insights that helped strengthen its potential viability in the market.
ParkEZ
ParkEZ is a parking rental platform developed with the Alpha Omicron Pledge Class of Alpha Kappa Psi in November 2024. The platform connects individuals seeking parking spaces with those offering available spots, similar to Airbnb but focused on parking solutions.
I played a key role in the legal aspects of the project. As a member of the legal team, I was responsible for drafting essential legal documents, including contracts, licenses, and terms and conditions. I ensured that all documents complied with relevant laws and regulations and addressed the unique needs of the platform. This involved researching local, state, and federal laws to guarantee that ParkEZ's operations were legally sound.
ABA Helper
ABA Helper is a digital platform prototype developed during a Systems Analysis and Design course aimed at improving the efficiency and security of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy for children with autism. The goal was to replace the traditional paper-based system with a more streamlined and secure digital solution.
In this project, I conducted a feasibility report, including Net Present Value (NPV), Return on Investment (ROI), and break-even analysis, to evaluate the app’s potential and sustainability. I also contributed to designing the prototype, which incorporated features like client data entry, session tracking, progress monitoring, and secure data storage.
Baleen
Baleen is a machine concept inspired by the feeding mechanism of baleen whales, designed to tackle ocean pollution by removing microplastics from water. Developed during my participation in DECA's Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan (EIP) competition in high school, the project focused on creating an eco-friendly and effective solution for ridding the world's oceans of toxins.
Although I oversaw the project as a whole, my primary contributions included conducting a comprehensive market analysis to evaluate the demand for ocean cleanup technologies, identifying key stakeholders, analyzing competitors, and defining potential users, as well as designing the business card. This translated into developing a detailed business plan that outlined the machine’s environmental impact, scalability, and commercial potential.
This concept earned first place out of 64 teams in the EIP category at California's State CDC competition, qualifying for ICDC (the national competition in Atlanta, GA).
