PASSION FOR TECHNOLOGY
Hey there, I'm glad you came on this site to check some of the things I've been up to currently and in the past. Have a look around, subscribe, or just talk to me about everything! :)

"Edmund is a software engineer who is interested in making products that are customer centric, intuitive to use, and easily reproducible. He recently graduated from the University of British Columbia and has recently been finding success within the hackathon community nationwide. Believing that everybody has the potential to create innovative products, he has collaborated almost exclusively with first time hackers or first years, to win each one. Some of his projects can be found at www.devpost.com/edchan10 and www.github.com/mistereddie. When Edmund is not busy empowering fellow students, he can be seen tinkering with hardware gadgets such as raspberry pi’s or messing with code to create his own products for the world at https://edchan10.wixsite.com/edmundengineering."
Projects
dancewithme - AfterImage
An immersive, interactive art installation that playfully explores our relationship with data in the community. This was our second capstone project!
GalaxyColliders
A fun simulation of a bajillion stars colliding with each other. The simulations are done in MATLAB and anybody can download the code to try it out!

DirExit - DragonHacksIV
A directional EXIT sign that can detect dangerous paths, efficiently route occupants, and track human traffic with Google Cloud-- all in real time! This device was created for DragonHacksIV in under 24 hours. The team was able to win again two awards - First Place Overall and Best Data Visualization!
SmartBar - MakeUofT2
A smart power bar that monitors, controls, and reduces power consumption to connected devices through manual control and MongoDB analytics. We created this product for MakeUofT2 in a single day! This time, we were able to snag the awards - 2nd Place Overall and Best Smart Home Hack!
Kinexote - BrickHackVI
An innovative, multimedia installation aimed to connecting body movements with visuals and sounds for an immersive experience. This project was done for BrickHackVI in 24 hours! We won the best Multimedia Hack award!
Automated Plant Growing
With sponsor funding, we developed an entirely automated growing prototype for cultivation indoor - much like a Keurig Machine but for plants!
Efficity - Hack Western 5
With EFFICITY, energy providers can analyze trends while everyday consumers can easily track their power expenditures. This IOT project was created for HackWestern5 Hackathon in a period of 36 hours. We ended up being the only team winning two awards - best sustainability hack and best IOT hack!
A Light Away
A portable, low cost IOT project allowing a user to control a personalized sequence of LED lights like a "light show," for another user upon their request, from anywhere around the world! Perfect for your significant other while they are away. With this product, we really are just a "light away".
L.O.A.F ROBOTICS
A fully autonomous, self navigating robot capable of retrieving objects and running an obstacle course!
Terramera Weather and Imaging Station
A low cost, self sufficient, weather station and imager prototype for plants. It is designed to seamlessly take measurements such as temperature, soil moisture, barometric pressure, and images automatically every set interval of time. The software and hardware architecture is created such that it is effortless to add additional off-the-shelf sensor modules to the I2C or SPI bus.
Terramera ROBOTICS
Again, a fully autonomous robot hopefully capable of navigating fields in the dark or light! Currently in progress!
About Me
Hey guys, I'm just an engineer from Vancouver who is hoping to make a difference in the world. But first, let me share with you what I have been doing in the meantime! I'll be posting more and more cool projects!
