1. Protect your voice in IoT voice devices
This project is my top pick because ultimately I would like to have a career in cybersecurity. Although smart devices with voice recognition can be very useful, the concept of IoT itself poses many cybersecurity threats and issues. As someone who is very interested in this field, I would like to have the opportunity to explore this topic. This project also would be beneficial for me, as I am currently taking the Machine Learning course and this project feels like it is a good introduction to machine learning and provides a lot of opportunities to learn. I also have Python experience. Overall, this would be a great project for me, since I would like to explore both cybersecurity and machine learning.
2. 412 Connect
I am very interested in this project because my technical skills are a good fit. I have experience with front end and I am strong with HTML and CSS with some minor JavaScript experience. As for back end, I also have experience with databases, as I have taken the Database Management course in a previous semester. And I have experience with Python as well. I also enjoy working on a bigger team than 2, so I think this would be a good fit. Finally, I also like the end goal of supporting more black businesses in Pittsburgh!
3. Mobility assistance for pedestrians
Although we didn't have the opportunity to hear their pitch in class, the project description stuck out to me. Like what I wrote for 412 Connect above, I have front end (HTML, CSS, some JavaScript) and back end (databases) skills so this would be a good fit as well. I also find this particular project interesting, as I am a pedestrian with a disability, so this kind of application is really important to me!
