Built at #MadData25, SmartTransit is a reliability-focused bus planner for UW–Madison's Route 80. Getting to class shouldn't feel unpredictable. Instead of just showing arrival times, SmartTransit helps students answer: When should I leave? Should I walk or take the bus? How crowded will it be? Is the bus actually coming?

• ✦Leave-By Recommendation — uses schedule + location, live ETAs, crowd risk, ghost bus risk
• ✦Walk vs Bus comparison for the full route
• ✦Live map + nearest stop with Madison Metro BusTime API
• ✦Schedule integration — add classes/events, dashboard stays synced

GoodNeighbor is a charity directory built to make donating simpler, safer, and more transparent. When people want to help, the hardest part shouldn't be figuring out where to donate or worrying whether a link is legitimate. This site lets you discover charities by cause and location, read a clear description, and donate directly on the charity's official website.

• ✦Filter charities by category + country
• ✦Open the charity's official donation page (we don't process donations)
• ✦Provide descriptions and key details so people can make informed choices

What it's not: GoodNeighbor never takes a cut and doesn't handle payments — it's strictly a directory that links you to the right place.

Full-stack Java web application that computes shortest paths and furthest destinations between campus locations using real map data. Implemented Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm on a directed weighted graph with custom hashtable-based graph storage, backend APIs for pathfinding, and an HTTP server for dynamic HTML.

• ✦Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm on a directed weighted graph
• ✦Custom hashtable-based graph storage
• ✦Backend APIs for pathfinding and distance queries
• ✦Parsed real campus map dataset (DOT format): 160+ nodes, 800+ edges
• ✦End-to-end integration testing with JUnit
