ElectionGuard Verifier

The existing voting process has not kept up with technological changes and the emerging threats. The election procedure is highly decentralized since each state has its own devices and methods for registering votes. Currently, there is no simple, user-friendly, and efficient method for verifying elections that can be widely adopted with relative ease. Our election verifier enables independent public verification of the cast vote. ElectionGuard verifier is an open-source, lightweight, and platform-independent system that can be used by any voter to check if their votes were cast correctly, without giving away which candidate the voter voted for.

HireAssist.ML

The advent of Machine Learning has brought a cascade of new jobs into the engineering market. Although these positions are in high demand, they are not easy to fill, even as an engineer with a college degree. It takes an exceptionally strong fit to get hired with lack of industry experience. Through our Google Chrome extension, engineers will have a system within their web browser to facilitate and improve their online job search. The extension provides job recommendations based on a user's skills and the job opportunities they view. Additionally, the application process is streamlined by automatically filling out information.

Postcomet

Age Friendly Seattle's Civic Coffee Hour has been an essential informational event for Seattle's older adult population, especially among immigrants and refugees, for the past decade. Now Civic Coffee Hour must expand to Seattle community centers, but participants still need to be able to participate in a live, online Q&A event. We created Postcomet, a solution that integrates SMS into YouTube Live broadcasts, allowing users to participate in the event regardless of their viewing location. This allows people to connect to live events & live speakers though technologies they already understand: YouTube and text messaging.

Privasee

It is no doubt that employees are the powerhouse of our companies. However, employee negligence and human error are some of the main causes of data breaches. This costs nearly $4 million on average for a business in the U.S., posing great security and financial risks. PrivaSee is a platform where security professionals can easily identify the exploitable employee public data and take action to mitigate the risks right away. This allows our clients to fully focus on their business objectives while they continue providing necessary resources for the employees.

Raise Wages Now

Our sponsor, Raise Wages Now, needs a tool for its members to build profiles which engage and incentivize them to answer more questions. Our main work is creating a member information collection tool, or a profile builder. As our sponsor uses the Drupal, a content management platform, on their website, our solution is to design a new Drupal module that we can add onto theirs. The main technologies we used in our solution were PHP for the back-end and Vue.js for the front-end.

Scheduling Software Pilot for Seattle Public Library

Employee scheduling is a crucial task for most organizations regardless of their size. Currently, the Public Services team at SPL manually prepares the schedules of their employees using Microsoft Excel and Sharepoint. This manual process takes a lot of time and effort to create as well as manage schedules. We conducted research to build a flexible solution providing user-friendly interface and easy customizations. This solution would enable the scheduling team to be agile in creating and changing schedules as per the library branches’ requirements, thus enabling resource optimization and quick decision making.
