Cu Faculty sync

CU Smart-Sync: Live GPS for professors! Teachers update room/wing in 10s; Students find them instantly via Gemini AI. No more wasted walks at CU!

Comment

InspirationChandigarh University (CU) has a massive 100+ acre campus. Every day, thousands of students waste 20-30 minutes trekking between blocks (B1 to C3) just to find a professor, only to discover they are in a different building or lecture hall. UIMS provides static office numbers, but faculty members are often mobile. The inspiration was to bridge this "Information Gap" by creating a live, dynamic "GPS for Faculty" that respects a student’s time.

My Solo Contribution

As a solo developer for this project, I managed the entire lifecycle of the application within the 3-hour hackathon window. My contributions include:

Conceptualization & Design: Identifying the specific campus pain point at Chandigarh University and designing the UI/UX to match university branding.

Full-Stack Development: Implementing both the Teacher and Student portals using a synchronized data architecture.

AI Implementation: Configuring and integrating the Gemini AI logic to handle natural language searches and "fuzzy" matching for faculty names.

Technical Troubleshooting: Independently debugging and optimizing the real-time sync to ensure a zero-latency experience for mobile users.
